At the Microsoft Surface Event yesterday, a Surface Music Kit was revealed!
 

 
11:30AM EDT - We're looking at how the touch cover sensors can be used for other things like instrument control with pressure sensitivity
 
Check it out here:  http://www.surfaceremixproject.com/?WT.mc_id=surface_preorder_musickit
 
Though not a real Microsoft (or Surface, for that matter) fan myself, this is looking pretty cool.
 
Kind regards,

Further to my previous post...an after thought... The Bakers (at Gibson) better jump on this for SONAR (I mean, "TASCAM Pro Audio)!  Hope it's not too late for the next version!

Wow. A touch sensitive instrument in a too small computer. I can play digital trumpet during study hall and no one will be able to hear me. Oh wait... even better, I can create remixes that will amaze my friends. Is this Microsoft taking music seriously? To the extent that I have any interest in what Microsoft does with digital audio (not music for god's sake which is just media content for the boys at Redmond) it is in making an easy to program low latency interface that people who do take computer music seriously can use to make it possible for those of us who also see music as more than a "consumer experience" to use grown up controllers and software to get results.

Hey, all you had to say is that it's not for you.
