Midimouse is a touch controller. It doesn't input any note values. It's for other parts of the midi spec. When you push harder on a midi keyboard, it sends that signal and makes the note louder or sometimes changes the tone (depending on the voice...for organ, it wouldn't do anything). It's also similar to what wind controllers do...blow harder, and the note gets louder and sometimes changes tone. I'm not sure what all aspects midimouse can be set to control or how it works, but from a quick google search, this is what I could gather.
So, without a keyboard in addition to midimouse, you have no notes to control. Go buy a cheapo midi keyboard (Casio or the like), some midi cables and a midi-usb converter, and have a blast!
Edit: Not sure how this would work, but you could also find a software keyboard like this one and pair them together: Chirp (just found it on a google search...never tried it myself). There could be free ones too...just look around.
