Anyone ever try 2 use a credit card signature trasaction pad as MIDI input?

I've come across a Transaction Team credit card signature touch and signature pad. From what I've read about it, it seems like one of the more versatile ones.

I just have to use this as a MIDI imput for my Mac w/ Logic! Does anyone have any suggestions at all? I am waiting to hear back from the company to see if they have mac drivers. I sure hope this deranged idea is possible!!! Any suggestions, to at least, some cool, do-it-yourself gear websites? Thanks!

You might also try a Wacom Intuos tablet. I have 9" by 12" (230mm by 300mm) tablet and software that allows me to choose which parameters to modify.
The pen is pressure sensitive but not quite as flexible as the Wacom mouse which is easier to use since you don't have to pick it up all the time (moving from MIDI controller to pen is a bit of a pain).
I've found the accuracy of pressure pretty variable so you can't consistently use it for volume, for instance, but it's good enough to be able to do key switching using transform. It has 1024 pressure sentivity levels so it may just be my technique.
However, if you're after something really wacky - and quite cheap - try this:

I have one of these VR gloves and use it with the follwing software:

It's quite amazing what you can do with it. A bit like a Theremin on heat. I bought my glove on ebay for $30

  • Anyone successfully using the credit card interface?

    I have heard that this interface is not really a 'mature' product. Has anyone implemented it, and if so, would you mind providing some info about how you got there? Thanks in advance!

    So my sister and I have our own separate iTunes accounts, and she has her set up with her credit card. She let me use her credit card on mine but it keeps saying the security code is invalid. Then the credit card company called about her credit card activity. Are you sure it's not impossible to use the same credit card on our different accounts?

  • HT201322 I downladed a game then i bought some gold on the game using a credit card. Now when I try to retrieve the gold it says I have to verify then download it. It will not let me. Any suggestions?

    I was receiving the same error message yesterday, which said There was a problem downloading "The Song Name / Album / Artist". The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose "Check for Available Downloads" from the Store menu. The file tries to download five times before this error message appears.
    I too, tried to find the file and delete it, but it was no where to be found.
    So I gave up for that moment and tried again today and I was able to successfully download the file. Amazing how that works!!!

  • Hi my case numbers is 30758085. I just try download apps store on my Verizon iPhone 4 but they keep ask me billling payment so I use my credit card but keep said wrong security codes so I check my apple itune balances said I owe itune 22.00 dollars

    Hi my case numbers is 30758085. I just try download apps store on my Verizon iPhone 4 but they keep ask me billling payment so I use my credit card but keep said wrong security codes so I check my apple itune balances said I owe itune 22.00 dollars but it not my apps download on my phone I always get free apps Download 

    Please don't post case numbers or other personal information here. None of us here (who will respond, anyway) work for Apple; we're all just fellow users.
    Anyway, as regards the security code issue, this may help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646
    and as regards the balance, first make sure you didn't make any in-app purchases. Many "free" apps, particularly games, have additional levels or features that cost money. Check your purchase history in your iTunes Store account and see what you're being charged for.
    Regards.

  • Can't use my credit card

    I have just got a new Mac Book Pro and have tried to use my credit card on two separate sites and had the transactions fail. I know the card is valid and has no "stops" on it but it uses the VeriSign option where you have to enter a password on a site separate from the vendor and it would appear that it is this that is not working.
    Can anyone tell me a) why this is happening and b) how to make it better please.
    I need to get this sorted otherwise I'll never be able to buy anything on-line ever again!!!

    Sorry if i made it sound like a complaint it wasn't meant to. The reason I felt it was something to do with the Mac was that I have never had this problem when using the card on my PC and thought it might be to do with the privacy / security settings. As I don't know enough about these things I didn't want to go messing around with any settings in case I did something I shouldn't / didn't want to.
    I will try to ask my card company but heavily suspect that they will say it is to do with my computer settings and I'm back to square 1. Not to worry I'll see if there is somewhere else that might be able to help me.
    Thank you for your response - albeit a little terse!

  • HT203167 Someone has been using my credit card to download games. this has happened before when I  had a different credit card on my itunes account. the apple store on that previous time would not give me the ip address where the downloads ended up.

    Someone I entrusted my computer to for repairs decided to keep it. all my personal information was on the computer. the peron has been using my credit card information o make ourchases from the apple store. If I do not have a credit card on the account on my iphone, I am unable to updatw it or my ipad. After persuading the apple store people to delete the last credit card info, I had to put aother credit card on the iphone to be able to update the software and thevapps. now that card is being used by the person o download war games on the new card. I cannot find any of his downloaded games on any of my devices. I am close to giving up my iphone and ipad. the last time i called the apple store, theynwould not give me the IP address of the omputer the games were downloaded to. they only gave me the name of my ipad. anyone could name thir ipad according to the name on mynipad. I have found the Apple store less than friendly about security matters like this. What can I do to maintain my acount and not continue to be ripped off by the thieving interloper? if i change my user name nd password, i will forever lose legitimate purchases. Please advise me.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Is the credit card registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
    Each time that you add or change your card details then a temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid (though that is usually $1 or the approximate local equivalent) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    Did your daughter owe any amounts to iTunes ? Does anything show on your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ?

  • HT1904 I recently received a substantial refund from purchases my grandson of 8purchased. I tunes graciously refunded the money. However now I cannot use my credit card to make purchases for thr game I play.

    I recently received a refund from I tunes which I appreciated. My little grandson who is 8 made $460 worth of purchases without my knowledge. However now I cannot use my credit card for further purchases on the game I play. Getting itnacross to ITunes is difficult.

I WONDER IF SHE THOUGHT TO LOOK AT MY ENTIRE DOWNLOAD HISTORY AND DISCOVER THAT NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN PURCHASED ON MY ITUNE ACCOUNT IN THE AMOUNT REMOTELY CLOSE TO WHAT THEY ARE CHARGING ME NOW.  THAT IS BECAUSE I DO TRY TO MONITOR THIS ACCOUNT AND OBVIOUSLY THIS LAST PURCHASE WAS DONE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE UNTIL I CHECKED MY ONLINE BANKING ACCOUNT, WHICH I DO EVERY DAY.  TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE APP STATES IT IS FREE TO INSTALL WHEN YOU PULL IT UP SO NO ONE HAS CLARIFIED TO MY WHERE THE $99.99 COMES INTO PLAY.  I WILL NOT DROP THIS UNTIL MY BACK ACCOUNT HAS BEEN PROPERERLY CREDITED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME IT TOOK YOU TO TAKE MY MONEY. I WILL LAUNCH A COMPLAINT WITH EVERY POSSIBLE ENTITY IN THE ITUNES COMPANY AND BUSINESSES OUTSIDE THAT REGULATE THEIR BUSINESS UNTIL THIS HAS RESOLVED IN MY FAVOR AS I AM THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN VICTIMIZED BY A COMPANY I INVITED INTO MY TELEPHONE NETWORK IN GOOD FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Reading that is giving me a headache, how about normal type.

  • Can i create apple id without use the credit card?

    can i create apple id without use the credit card?

    I'm getting the same thing. I created a new Apple ID via the Internet (appleid.apple.com) When I go to my device to try to use it, I have to review it first and in that process, I'm asked for a credit card or iTunes gift card. There is NO 'none' option.
    I work in a school district and we'd like employees to use their own apple ID for free apps which will allow them the freedom to explore apps without weighing down our tech dept with myriad requests for random apps. I deal with a broad demographic and many users are suspicious of putting personal credit card info on an Internet-based account.
    However, it appears they are locked out of the store unless they have some form of payment on file. Even if they enter a gift card, what happens when it's used up? Will they get locked out of the store if they don't have a balance?
    Anyone have a work around? If not ... APPLE Please update your support materials to explain this, or fix the bug.
    Thanks!

  • I have an itunes gift card balance on my account however I want to use my credit card to pay for songs. It automatically uses my balance and doensn't give me the option of using my credit card. In detail how do I change it or must I use my balance first?

    I have an itunes gift card balance on my account however I would rather use my credit card to pay for my music downloads. I cannot find an option to choose credit card over my balance, it just automatically uses my gift card balance instead. Is there a way to change this? I have gone to account settings but cannot find a way to do this. Does anyone have any detailed information on how this could be achieved? Is it even possible? Thanks so much in advance!

    Sorry, but there's no way to force the iTunes Store to use your credit card. If there's a credit balance available, purchases will be deducted from that first.
    Regards.

    Need to change acct  to Canadian from American but it won't let me without using up my balance of $1.27. There is no way to spend exactly this amount. I do not want to use a credit card. I have a Canadian iTunes card that I want to redeem now that I'm living in Canada.

  • Can I use my Credit Card to buy Apps from Bangladesh?

    Hello,
    I am from Bangladesh, I recently bouhgt iPad Air 2. Now I am interested to buy Apps from iTunes Store with my Credit Card, Can I? I am asking this question because yesterday I used my credit card to buy GoodReader Apps with price tag $0.99 from iTunes Store, after clicked BUY option then I put my credit card information as soon as Apps Store showing me a message that my address mismatch with the provided with the bank. As a result I haven't able BUY the App from the store, but my credit card account charged with $0.99. But I did not got the app GoodReader with price Tag $0.99.
    Please give me a proper guide. And also why the iTunes Store charged my credit card account though they have not permit me to buy the app? How to claim to reverse the amount?
    Thanking you in advance.

    Each time that you try to add a card, or change its details on an account, a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - your card issuer should remove within a few days or so.
    Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201292
    In terms of buying content, you have to be in a country to use its store, and have a billing address in that country on your account (you also cannot use a credit card issued by a bank from another country). As far as I can see there isn't currently an iTunes store in Bangladesh,  until if/when Apple open one then unfortunately you won't be able to buy any iTunes content (apps, music etc)

  • Can I use multiple credit cards with family sharing

    My kids are adults.  Can I use multiple credit cards in family sharing so they can pay for their own purchases?

    Hello Cwb1234,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what I understand, you want to set it up that your kids use their own credit cards for purchases within Family Sharing. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines purchases and payments for Family Sharing and may offer a solution to the issue that you’re running into.
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    Making purchases
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
    Once paid for, a purchased item is added to the account of the family member who initiated the purchase. In other words, the content belongs to them, much as it would if you were buying them a book or a DVD. If Family Sharing is ever disabled, each member will keep the purchases they initiated, even though they were paid for by the family organizer.
    These are the only current options for payment within Family Sharing.
    Regards,
    Jeff D. 

  • HT1689 I allow a friend to use my credit card (cc) to buy applications.  Is there a way to use the cc once and not to be saved in to iTunes?

    I allow a friend to use my credit card to buy applications. 
    Is there a way that the cc information not to be stored in his iTunes?

    As I understand it you'd have to go in and remove it from the iTunes account. And if it's his account he'll have to go in and do it.
    If I were you? If you have iTunes gift cards handy just get one of those. I set up my iTUnes years ago and all I use are gift cards. Yeah, the remainder of the $15 dollars sits there, but if anyone gets into my iTunes that's all they can get, whatever balance I have.

  • HT201359 How can I use a credit card instead of gift card in the iTunes store

    Amex is running a special where you get $5 back on a $5 purchase or more at the iTunes store.  I have a gift card balance on the account and wanted to use my credit card for the promotion.  Anyone know how to do this?

    The work around.. would be to order a gift, then redeem the gift yourself. As gifts can not be paid for by your store credit.
