Media artist Toshio Iwai and Yamaha have collaborated to design a new digital musical instrument for the 21st century, TENORI-ON.
A 16x16 matrix of LED switches allows everyone to play music intuitively, creating a "visible music" interface. By operating and interacting with the LED buttons and the light they produce you gain access to the TENORI-ON's numerous performance capabilities. For broad performance versatility the TENORI-ON provides six performance and sound/light modes which differ in their note entry methods and operation. These modes can be combined and used simultaneously for rich, complex polyrhythmic musical expression.
The integrated AWM2 tone generator features 32-notes of polyphony, 239 preset Voices and 14 Preset Drum Kits. You can even use the supplied User Voice Manager software to upload your own samples. Or control external devices via old school MIDI.
The Tenori-On - a whole new approach to make music.
