As you might know, it is Alternate Mouse Month.

I would like to rattle off some Mouse techniques that I use, and 
perhaps there are members here with some more tips.

Using programs such as Music Mouse, Midi Mouse Music or Midi Square, 
you can use similier techniques.

1. Small circular motions within a small grid area. This will cross 
over to the X and Y axis's and you can get a good blend of both as 
the scales intertwine with each other. keep it in time to the speed 
that the Mouse controller is set creating ryhymic patterns.

2. WIDE circular motions , then go back to small circular motions. 
This will add variety to the patterns created.

3. Vertical , then Horizontal motions, almost like an L or a Z cross 
cuts on the grid. On Midi-mouse music (Gareth Jones), you can set up 
different scales for each pattern so this type of action will sound 
interesting.

4.On Music Mouse, you can mute all axis's exept for one. Then put on 
a High speed tempo. Then you can produce very quick Riffs and leads 
that would be impossable on a standard keyboard controller. You can 
also add pitch bending, and do a Jan Hammer type solo! Quite Fun.

Here are some ideas: any more?
