Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for generating a stream of pitch data from one or more touches, the apparatus comprising:
a plurality of key pitch arrays, at least one key pitch array containing pitch data;
a touchscreen for decoding one or more touches of the touchscreen into corresponding touch positions, each touch position associated with a key pitch array;
a note processor coupled to the touchscreen and to the plurality of key pitch arrays, the note processor initially outputting a nearest neutral pitch of an associated key pitch array for an associated touch position;
during an interval when the note processor detects a change in position of a touch, the note processor thereafter converting each decoded touch position into corresponding pitch data from the associated key pitch array and transmitting the corresponding pitch data as an output;
when the note processor detects a release of touch, the note processor no longer outputting the corresponding pitch data for the touch.
