Was the xy from the mouse? Audio and music gen w/ code is something ive been interested in.
Take a look at iPhone as a midi input: http://hexler.net/software/touchosc I've been experimenting with it. It's quite cool. It sends OSC , then a wrapper converts to midi output if the app needs it. ( few diff choices of wrapper ) I'm also testing how good I can use o/c messages for pygame controller.
