Developer Nikolozi Meladze has introduced Easy MIDI – an app that lets you use a Mac computer into a MIDI controller.
Easy MIDI turns your Mac keyboard, trackpad and mouse into a MIDI keyboard controller that can send MIDI notes and control messages to any soft synth or DAW, including GarageBand, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase and Digital Performer.
Features:

- Over 3 octaves under your fingertips
- Easily change keyboard octave with up/down arrows
- Visual feedback eliminates the need to look down on your Mac keyboard
- Sustain on/off can be triggered with a space bar
- Vertical scroll changes note velocity
- Pitch bender can be controlled with a pinch zoom gesture or a vertical mouse drag
- Modulation can be controlled with a rotation gesture or a vertical mouse move

Easy MIDI is available now for $14.99 in the Mac App Store.
