I'm not sure what new stuff has come out in the last few years, but Ableton Push is exactly what you're describing. It's a grid where you can select a key, scale, and tone, and then you can apply effects in series / parallel. The notes in the scale light up. There's a bunch of other stuff you can do as well.

- brunorsini 10y agoThanks! I've played with Push, it's pretty good... but as someone commented above it's fairly limited in many ways too. This is an interesting piece of software I have used before: http://autotheory.net http://autotheory.net. It simply translates incoming midi data so you can use whatever controller/instrument you're already familiar with. The creator is nice and responsive, he often attends shows like AES and NAMM.
