Sensomusic Usine + Ableton Live = Modular Touchscreen Interface
Touch interfaces abound on this site, but Usine has one edge: it’s built right out of the box to enable touch interfaces with custom, modular creation of whatever you might like. And there’s now an Ableton Live template in testing, with a lovely 5×5 controller.
The advantage of working this way, as I see it, is that you can begin to expand Live sessions beyond endlessly-looping, pre-built audio clips or DJ-style mixing.

The beautiful thing about something like this, aside from the modularity (which freaks me out and I use Usine as my main live app, what an amazing job) but that, once this kind of thing is uploaded, anyone with Live on Windows can just DL the free version, pop open Usine, and go.
Even if, like I did recently, you find yourself with no PC and just a wifi connection to download freeware ;-)

This version was a little buggy, If you see it’s working well only at the end of the vid, otherwise cells are overbright, but I fixed it and extended Fx to 8 instead of 5 (the 5th cell act toggle between two pages for the 4 other cells). will post it this we with a premaped liveset.
cheers

I know your pain.
I was without a touchscreen for a year and finally got a 12″ to tide me over til multitouch comes my way.
