Use graphics tablets for music

I’ve been using a tablet for sketching, and also use Electroplankton for the Nintendo DS to make “pen based” music, so it’s neat to see that there are applications to turn the big tablet into a musical instrument too, Peter writes – “Whether you’re a graphics artist wanting to make music in new ways or just trying to rationalize the purchase of a shiny new Wacom tablet, graphics tablets are worth a look for music control. They’re highly sensitive, intuitive instruments, and they’re fairly cheap (US$100 and up). We’ve talked about doing this before, but new and updated software keeps making this easier.” – Link.
