Rare instrument as used by Four Tet, Little Boots and also Bill Bailey! This is the superior version to the cheap market orange version, it has full use of the SD card and can be hooked up properly to other equipment. Also, it runs on standard AA batteries if needed (which it is for fun whilst using headphones and being on the tube etc.)This was given to me by Yamaha a few years ago for some work I was doing with them, I've not used it very much at all and it is in very good condition. I'll include the SD card and also an Orange case with a magnetic flip close that was made especially for the Tenori-On, these are now impossible to find.The power cable I am using is an EU one since I now live in Amsterdam - you will need to buy one for whichever country you are in, they cost between £5-12. I can post from Amsterdam and there are no customs charges within the EU customs union countries. Will post with full insurance.The photos I have attached are the only ones I can take right now, can add more later on. The ones that look like stock images, are obvs. stock images. Comes with no box, I will try and find the original leaflets etc. I have them somewhere.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. TENORI-ON 'Modes'The TENORI-ON 16 x 16 LED button matrix is simultaneously a performance input controller and display. By operating and interacting with the LED buttons and the light they produce you gain access to the TENORI-ON's numerous performance capabilities. The TENORI-ON provides six different performance and sound/light modes for broad performance versatility, and these modes can be combined and used simultaneously for rich, complex musical expression.LayersTENORI-ON layers can be thought of as 'performance parts' or 'recording tracks.' The TENORI-ON has a total of 16 layers. Separate notes and voices can be assigned to each layer, and all layers can be played together in synchronisation. The 16 layers are divided into six performance mode groups as shown in the illustration below. The six modes have different note entry methods and operation. Up to 16 layers created using different modes can be combined for rich, complex musical expression. One complete set of 16 layers is called a 'block.'BlocksThe TENORI-ON can store up to 16 programmed blocks (16-layer groups) in memory, and you can switch from block to block instantly during performance. You could, for example, create a musical composition in one block, then copy that composition to another block and edit it to create a variation of the original composition. Or you can load a number of previously-created compositions into separate blocks from an SD Memory Card and switch between them to create variation during playback.
