Sibelius has implemented touch and the Surface Pen into their score writing software but it essentially replaces the mouse with the pen and works very well at letting you input notes. Perhaps a good example is the difference between Sibelius and Staffpad. What we haven’t seen is someone looking at the sort of input touch offers and being creative with how that can be used – this is particularly true of the Surface digital pen. The ability to move more than one knob or fader of course goes beyond what a mouse can do but it’s also the sort of thing easily done with a MIDI controller. However, largely what they’ve done is bolted touch support into an existing mouse/keyboard paradigm. Open Lab’s StageLight has been ruling the roost with the best overall touch experience, Image Line’s FL Studio has some great implementation throughout and PreSonus’ Studio One embraced it with some excellent and awful results all at the same time. I’ve been banging on about touch for about 4 years now and in the last year we’ve finally seen a few bits of software have a go at being a bit more touch compatible.
