Yesterday, while looking for tablet hacks, I found this neat program which allows you to create music with my wacom tablet. It’s basically a midi controller and a theremin. It’s pretty interesting to play with. I mean more reason to buy a tablet right? Here’s a more in depth collection which includes programs for mac and windows.

The Wmidi

This program allows you to do many things. It has a collection of 128 instruments and numerous scales from Japanese Ichikosuko to the major scales. The tone also ranges from C-2 to C8. How loud the tone is depends on the pressure you’re giving the tablet. You can also use it to control midi from other programs. Manipulating using colors from an image, the tilt, pressure and angle. And hey, it’s free. How much better can it be?
