Riday T-91 Midi Controller

Invented by Rick Riday, the T-91 is a midi controller that uses his patented "unified keyboard" design.
This design allows for identical fingering patterns for all 12 scales (12 major scales, 12 minor, 12 blues, etc.)

The instrument in the photo is one of a handful he has built.

Tune Toys by Tim Thompson

This is a collection of web-based algorithmic composition toys, written by Tim Thompson.

This is a very nice collection of Midi Generated applications
with some the more noteable ones being Muse-O-Matic,Web Tones,Expresso but worth checking out and experimenting with...

Online Musical Algorithms

Created by the direction of Dr. Jonathan Middleton with assistance from team of programmers: Andrew Cobb, Michael Henry, Robert Lyon, and Ian Siemer.

This project was funded by the generous support of the Northwest Academic Computing Consortium (NWACC).and was designed to be a Web-based application for exploring algorithms in an interdisciplinary environment. The Web site contains interactive tools, which provide a unique learning experience for users, regardless of their musical training. Students of music composition can explore algorithmic composition, while others can create musical representations of models for the purpose of aural interpretation and analysis.

Experimental Instrument of the Day

Invented and patented by Leon Gruenbaum, this is not your ordinary MIDI controller.

Each key on the keyboard does not denote a fixed pitch, as it would on a normal keyboard, but rather a change of pitch. For example a key might be the "+1" key, which when pressed would sound the note one higher than the last note played; another might be "-2", and so on.
