There also exist a few dedicated MIDI Trumpets out there:

In no particular order:

The Morrison Digital Trumpet

Cornell University's Trumpet MIDI Controller Project


I have no firsthand experience with any of these.

Ike, you and I can also play the Piano. I have found it not all that hard to use the MIDI Keyboard Controller for recording horn parts to MIDI.

No need to transpose, either, you can set the MIDI keyboard such that its C corresponds to Concert Bb and then just play the notes as you already know them to be on the Trumpet. After recording, you can simply change the key signature if you need charts or the like.
