Eventide have released Music Mouse, available for $29.00.
Music Mouse turns simple mouse movements into melody and counterpoint in real time, letting you play music directly instead of programming it.
Independent horizontal and vertical motion generate interlocking musical lines, while built-in harmonic logic keeps everything musically coherent.
Use it to improvise, explore new ideas, or drive external instruments with expressive, human control.
Music Mouse is a standalone app by design, just like the original in 1986. It launches instantly, stays focused, and responds with the speed and feel of a real instrument.
Listen as we use keyboard shortcuts to change the sound by applying pitch modulation, filter, and tremolo effects.
