Check out the Tactex (www.tactex.com) controller. It is stand-alone, and
its actually 3d (left-right, up-down, hard-soft)... although you'll have to
jump through some loops to make it work with typical equipment-- there's no
MIDI or VC. It has serial connectors (DP9 for PC, Mac Serial for Mac) to
connect to a computer. I have no idea what it would requite to convert that
to a useful signal. On the other hand, it's already integrated with Cycling
74's MAX software. Unfortunately, it's also $500.
(Yes, I'm facinated with the d∗mned thing, that's why I keep mentioning it
here...)
