Tanager AudioWorks unveils Chirp, a little software that turns a user's computer keyboard into a MIDI keyboard controller.

Chirp combines a photo‐realistic keyboard interface, 10 programmable trigger pads and several controls for easily entering pitch bend, modulation, sustain and note velocity data. The product works with any music or recording application requiring MIDI input or capable of sending MIDI note data. Piano keys are mapped to specific computer keyboard keys, the user can define which keys on his or her laptop are to be used to input notes or chords. The programmable trigger pads can be assigned to any MIDI events, and the mouse (or laptop glide pad) can be used to enter MIDI continuous controller information.

Chirp is available now for Mac OS X and Windows at a retail price of $39.99.
