Korg has done things in this vein. I don't know if the Kaos Pad is pressure
sensitive but it outputs MIDI data for X-Y position. I believe the Korg Z-1 also
has an X-Y pad, again I don't know about pressure sensitivity. The Kurzweil K2500
has a big ribbon above the keyboard and a small pressure-sensitive ribbon below the
wheels on the left. Dig through the AH archives and perhaps even the MOTM archives.
I think the manufacturer of the pad that is allegedly going to be used on the
BigBriar monosynth is listed there.
