Re: [pygame] New music gen, or OSC or MIDI projects?

This might not help much, but it might help some; there is this project called Frets On Fire, an open source (python) Guitar Hero clone, can accept input from a bunch of different "guitar" controllers, and you might be able to work those into your abstract input.
They list the types of controllers supported here:

And the project page is here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fretsonfire/

AbstractInput sounds *very* useful, I'd use it myself.  Probably to play 
QWERTY keyboard standing up like a guitar.

I'm interested If anyone is working on anything to do with:
Music generarion, MIDI , or OSC. ( open Sound control )

I've been experimenting with sending OSC messages to the iPad app
"control". ( it's free. )
You can translate OSC messages to MIDI, to interface with any
software. ( ! ) Plus it's wireless.

I have a couple I'm working on.

Drum pad:
 Downloads random CC sounds from freesound. Basic drum pad.

monKeys Tutor:
 Learn scales, get scored on accuracy.

AbstractInput()
 Program receives midi input -- doesnt need to know actual source type.
 However, input can be QWERTY keyboard or MIDI or OSC, since it is
abstracted. (like pyglet image classes)

Generic scriptable keyboard.
 Mess with controls ( for non-MIDI tasks.)
 Alt tab, launch firefox, editor,  WASD. Autohotkey, ...
