Nice job. Quantizing to a given scale/signature controlled through touch or gestures to glide and create ambient textured soundscapes is actually a pretty well-explored space. I've seen some neat MPE-style ones that let you emulate aftertouch through haptic pressure and vibrato by wiggling your finger back and forth.
