We're used to seeing controller apps for the iPad, but FeelYourSound's IsoPad enables you to turn your Windows tablet into a touch-optimised keyboard. What's more, it's free.
There are actually three keyboard layouts included. You get the traditional piano fingerboard, but there are also two of the increasingly popular isomorphic layouts (think Ableton Push and Roger Linn's LinnStrument) which are organised so that the interval from pad to the next one is always the same.
There's a bit of virtual MIDI cabling to do before IsoPad will work, but once it's set up you should be able to use it to play any MIDI instrument you like. It's compatible with Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, and you can find out more and download it on the FeelYourSound website.
