Wow, now this is what a demo SHOULD BE! I am now familiar with all of the features and capabilities of this machine! I feel like I could just pick one up and start creating music after watching this!
Great use of an unusual instrument and effects unit! Loved the way you used the visual effects in time with the audio effects. Thanks for putting it all together. Cool song also.
@JessePlaysGuitar ....I'll sell you mine for $450.....I used it a few times....it comes with a Hard Case. If your interested shoot me an email at jkg_justy12@yahoo.com
im not really one for this kind of music, but i do appreciate how they put it together. i like guitars and stuff better, but thats me and my guitar playing self. i don't like this one in particular, but for some remakes of songs like the poker face on they did on a cheaper thingy, they had to have a keen ear to do it.
I have just watched a video,where the music editing funtions are explained.´Though I like electronic music,I´d say this is no more creative than putting together loops with fruity loops. Anyone who has a musical talent, would prefer to choose(program or play) all the notes by himself.This instrument builds chords when you put your finger somewhere and when you "play" a melody over it,it automatically let´s you only use harmonizing notes,you can´t go wrong.It´s the creativity of the programmers.
@imastoner25 Yeah, I think if I'd known everything I planned on getting when I started to develop my setup I'd have gone for the KP3 instead, I rarely use the Kaossilator for its sounds now that I have an EMX.
Popular electronically produced music almost always takes little to no talent. It seems to me that its generic sound made easily for the hearing pleasure of lesser individuals, if you know what I mean. Why else would bragging, rapping, blacks be so forced to use this poor excuse for music?
@SoldatSolutrea wow! i bet you are an acoustic instrumentalist, and have no experience with digital music making. oh, and before i forget, also deaf and retarded, because no music ever made by man was a poor excuse...
@SoldatSolutrea Im pretty sure that if you are able to hear you can notice a HUGE difference between a basic rap beat and complex electronic piece, the fact that you dont need as much hand skills as in a guitar or a piano doesnt mean it doesnt take brains to compose, other than the hand motion skills electronic music production is not very different from any other kind of music. But judging by your comment you are not only deaf but also may be mentaly disabled.
You need technique to play a violin, you need techniqe for making electronic music.
The only difference that really is there, is that in electronic music you can have an extreme amount of various styles, but a guitar is always sounding like a guitar.
In electronic music, you have to be a bit like an audio engineer, When playing analog instruments, you need an engineer to record it.
But at the end, sit down and listen to an big orchester. Never will be able to replace this with some computers.
@hateparadelover though i agree with you on some areas i strongly disagree with you on others... I feel that digital and analog music are a complimenting factor to each other why can't we stop trying to make them compete with each other as if they're rivals and just realize that there are things that can enhance your sound from both ends... and in reference to your orchestra theory, try sitting down to an orchestrated electronic piece. that is something that no regular orchestra could ever match
Everyone needs to calm down, although I'm an analog musician, I understand how hard it is to make unique sounding, and complex music. It's the same thing for digital... Sure there are electronic artists that make simple beats and put a simple synth line over it using 100s of plugins. But there are also electronic composers that can utilize what they create with better then half of the pissed analog musicians on here could fathom. Listen to aphex twin, and tell me I'm wrong. lrn2appreciatemusic
Yes, making GOOD electronic music takes talent; a knowledge of scales, and how to build/progress music.
But anybody can sit down at a computer and throw together some sampled tracks over a drum and add simple cuts and builds.
Anybody who's learned an instrument, been in a band, or tried to write music on a more traditional instrument will tell you it is MUCH more complicated.
I've played with a Kaossilator Pro, and in minutes I had great stuff.
@williamthomasmi10 it's every music gerne man..the truth is electric music seems to be more easier to make, because it doesn't require special skills to press buttons unlike guitars and piano, and even if it sounds good or not, you can at least come up with something by luck or pressing anybuttons randomly. Do you think all the great djs and elec.music producers guessing which buttons gonna give them a lucky day? It doesnt require physical skills but your sense and u have to fully understand it.
@ciboalien Right. Every musician should know the way around his equipment, especially if you're into electronica. If you use old school like synths you have to know how different wave forms sound and how this sound is affected by different types of filters. Also knowledge of ADSR envelopes is quite helpful. 'course you don't have to bother with that on a Kaossilator(pro) etc, but you should know how to program the thing and how you want to structure your song and arrange the loops.
@williamthomasmi10 man..electric music is another level of music-field. whole concept of way of you create music is different. think different. Its also true that ppl can still compose and make beats when some can't even read notes or playing anyinstrument, but classical instrument player or any old-fashion musicians also wont able to make elec-music that would 'satisfy' fans of it. They might make something sound 'like' that but wouldnt sound original.
@ciboalien Listen: as i"ve said, i've played with a kaossilator. I REALIZE it would take a long time to really master.
But... learning scales... techniques... complex rhythms (flamenco guitar) take lifetimes to master... bands like Streetlight Manifesto, where one man writes the lyrics, guitar, bass, drum, and brass section. thats practically a symphony! THATS where I see talent. I do enjoy techno and whatnot, but it doesn't impress me like other styles of music do.
@williamthomasmi10 Actually it doesn't take that much time to master a kaossilator, once you familiarize yourself w. I've been learning to play the guitar for years and still I don't consider myself a particularly good guitarist. As an electronic musician however, you have to develop a different set of skills:eg arranging parts or programming sequencers, coordinating and arranging sounds to avoid a cacophony etc. BTW keyboard synths do require traditional Skills as well.
@ciboalien No apology necessary! I really appreciate it when we can have a nice, civil discussion on youtube haha. Although that might be a fairly hypocritical thing to say.
@williamthomasmi10 but anybody who has tried to play a "more traditional" instrument like a guitar can also tell you that within minutes they can mimic any power chord progression they have heard on the radio would you call that talent? I hope not. So maybe it is talent that allowed you to easily create a good sounding piece on the kaossilator but a more intuitive talent instead of a practiced, honed in one. It blows my mind how many people can call themselves musicians just by covering a song
Actually, i really hate most pop music haha. If you couldn't tell already. Although I do believe there is a time and place for simplistic music. But I feel generally that needs something like awesome lyrics behind it.
Also, after playing in like... three+ rock bands, I don't think many people consider themselves talented if the can don a cover (Unless its dream theater... or like a really good solo or something thats complex...that does take a certain type of skill/talent/dedication)
@cershagree I'm not really sure what you meant by the comment about the kaossilator and talent haha... Maybe thats because I've sorta lost track of what we were discussing. It was quite a ways ago haha.
4) Music can come in any form. The tools used to make it are just that, tools. It is how you utilize such tools to create masterpieces that please the ear. Beatboxing, piano, guitar, this tool in the vid....All these and many more can be used to create music that can be appreciated the same way. Don't focus too much on the tool that is used but rather the piece that is produced from them.
I think I'll stop at there lol. Sorry to ramble so much but I was just fed up with the hate.
3) Please refrain from using foul language if you're trying to prove your point. Displaying your thoughts in such a fashion make you seem unintelligent and will just piss everybody off. It also gives you a horrid image and will make most people not even want to take what you said into consideration. Intellectual debate > Name calling with a few curse words thrown in there.
Quite a few things to say about the debates happening:
1) If you were a true musician, then you would never comment in such away against another form of music. True musicians appreciate all forms of music no matter what made them.
2) No talent at all in this video? While it's true that anybody can just push a button and make noise out of it, it DOES take musical talent to create something worth listening to. Not everyone is born with the musicality to do such a thing.
This seems like an interested "interactive music" device more than an instrument. I used to have an Rm1x and had fun "jamming" on it, but never used it when writing music.
There appear to be two basic ways of writing music. One like painting where you start with a blank canvas and add to it till you have it, or sculpting, chipping away at layers of loops and samples to reveal your song. I typically write from nothing and match what I hear in my head, (or heart). No Tenori for me.
@SidneyTurner Or you could say art has infinite rules. The rule of this music is that it is created on the tonori-on. The rule of music on a guitar is that is created on guitar. Painting is limited by canvas and paint, and photography by camera and photoshop (used to be film). In either case, the expression of art is limitless.

I Wanna BUY IT!!!!!!!!!I'm in love with it!!i watched at least 20 of the utube vids about it and i can't stop thinking it!!It's beyond amazing!!I'm so gonna buy it!!xaxa
Great! The Tenori-On is a different instrument, very suited to the rave set. Some people "get it" and some don't, and you sir are in the "Got It" camp!
Oops, I'm clumsily adding an after-thought but the secret to playing the Tenori-On is not to let things repeat too much while you're twiddling one little new thing. It would sound like ponderous repetitive Techno. Prepare some sequences beforehand, switch often, keep things moving, add your live performance flourishes too, and then find some way to halt it all gracefully. That's the way!
Yes, there's an online game like the Tenori-On. It's called "Lite-Brite", lol. But if you're asking whether there is something online that you can play music like that, it will be hard. With a Tenori-On you have at least 2 fingers (your thumbs) to work it, but on the Web you only have 1 mouse, it wouldn't be practical.
that was pretty sweet! i wish you had the unedited video on here though, i mean its such a visual instrument, it didn't need THIS amount of video editing.
I think this is really smart, but no way worth between 650 and 800 quid! Not when theres such things as the Korg Kaossilator out there for as little as 130quid!
a1b2c3z44, are you tryin to say there is no talent in this music? if you are you need ta realize that people spend a great deal of there life trying to make it. If its just codes lets see you do it hot shot! All u guys that think there is no talent in electronic music should fucking die cause im tired of hearing ur bullshit lies. Tell ur bullshit ta gg allin you dumbass. Poop on your grave and eat ur heart out!, son.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@assholes1x ,that "MUSIC" as u call it,lol,is FUCKING GARBAGE!ure taste is in your ass gayboy&theyre is NO TALENT IN THIS VIDEO DIPSHIT-i could make the same sounds if i mixd pissy mobile fone ringtones 2gether-AAAAARRHGGGHGHGHHGH THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SHIIIIIT!
@Bdiddly1 are you really 35 because when i read your comment i seriously thought you were some hormonal teenager that thinks their opinion is somehow special and needs to be heard.
@assholes1x I just came here thru random links, if someone thinks theres no talent in elec-music? Why you be mad at them, you should be really sorry for them for not having ears like ppl who can decide songs to listen and can actually enjoy music. they are like..they wear whatever ppl wear they see. u know? they are pathetic ppl who can't enjoy this beautiful music. don't be mad at them
@assholes1x I agree totally! A friend of mine is an electronic artist and he has let me fiddle on his keyboards and it IS difficult to compose and play this kind of music. Not all of it is codes and this video is a great example as you actually use your hands to play it.
I used to be one of those people that thought there was no talent in electronic music. I played guitar and piano etc. Then I downloaded a program called audiomulch and started messing around for a while and fell in love with making electronica and remixes.
@assholes1x there may be talent in this, its just people get mad seeing people make it like this when there's bands out there that can actually play instruments, and to a really good standard like martyr defiled, which you may find noise, but they're fucking good musicians, and they're not that well known. where as anyone with a basic knowledge of the tech to do with music can create stuff like this, which is most bands in any case
@Manny1031 HA! mate, go get some GCSE's and come back yeah? This music's getting old already, same shit, same sounds, understand music before you comment you twat!
@dralboy But all music is about the artistic vision, so to speak. I love just about every kind of music, and seeing someone actually perform on an instrument is damn impressive, but if someone has the idea and they get it out there, that's more than enough in my mind.
@assholes1x Well it's not that there is no talent in electronic music, But the fact is that they don't have an instrument in their hands wich means they have to pre-think things before listening to them. wich also means they cannot impovise and therefore make music thats (excluding the exeptions ofcourse) less unique than a lot of other music.
@progAGguitar you are wrong that is an instrument its just computer powerd its all technology more complex than just a guitar theres many many different buttons, knobs, and other things that a dj has to memorize and understand what they mean and what they do . ALSO ppl can come up with stuff right of the top of there head they do not have to always pre-think they USUALY do for performances but they are able to not pre-think its not like its mandatory for them to come up with it be4 they play it.
Makefun is right, but tenori-on is still a really outside of the box creative tool. You may already have really fat sounding analog synths, in which case this thing would be a great live rig or studio improvement.
@mysticradio Yes, the Launchpad is much cheaper. It even looks similar to the Tenori-on. But they are actually not even nearly alike. They are very different.
anyone who bought one for 1000 i have some swamp land in florida for you. It has the build of Fisher Price.. I think TOPS this thing should go for $399 Theres a new one coming out supposedly moderately priced... it still will be too much. but if i was a millionaire it would be a nice toy to play with.
Despite all the thumbs down you got i agree with you. Well probably not in build quality as i think these are pretty good but come on guys, you can loop your fart and make a tune out of it. But yeah...be my guest if you want to spend 1000 dollars on a toy yamaha can use the money to make the Motif board better...although i cannot imagine how...along with roland's xfantom series...MAN! now those are worth the money!
dont buy it! I saw it yesterday at my local store. This thing is shit! Its badly constructed, like a 5$ china toy and so damn expensive! Man think about it: For that price you can get a really phat sounding analog synth!
With MIDI any decent controller can trigger an amazing amount of sounds. The piano style keys are not the only way to trigger a signal. I remember the speak and spell thing depeche mode did back in the day and realise hi tech and lo tech both have a place in music.
I like this device and I like this DJ's use of it!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It sounds like the instrument used in the old 'Reading Rainbow' theme, aside from the basic, generic drum machine sounds....And that was in the early 80's! FAIL! Buy a KORG instead
I agree on the side it's too expensive to do so "little"
It actually looks amazing and it's easy to use, but with a good reaktor and/or Live setting on a PC and the right controller you could do more interesting live stuff.
Can't help but giggle at penis showing games via youtube comments! Have some tact and utilize the "message user" option gentlemen..
Fantastic track from the Tenori-On!
While I can appreciate the classy video editing work, I really wish I could see the uncut "1 take performance".. There are only so many tech demos available on this machine. :\
Oh boy, it seems like Demofactory is like one of those people who thinks an art can only be properly learned in an institutional setting...in the way so many schools are concerned with producing students to maintain the status quo. The problem with these schools is that they have so many people with similar field experience that they have no appreciation of what other fields/experiences can teach. It's reluctant to change academia because it's so focused on being academia.
Hmm... true there is no melody, but that's kind of what electronic music is about right? repetitive beats, beeps and squeaks. You're basically saying here you don't like this genre of music. Also this modern new fangled repetitive headache inducing beat music is nothing new... what about Taiko (very old Japanese/Buddhist drum music) no melody either but I'm sure the monks would tell you it evokes much thought and emotion in them.
"Narro minded". Your the one calling something "not music". Also, I don't give a shit about you trying to make yourself seem qualified and make your e-penis larger. In the end, its all just opinions. But no one has the authority to call something "not music." Throw you degrees and credentials to some one who gives a shit. (No one does).
I see you have resorted to belittling me and making totally dumbass retorts (i.e. ex lax) to my legitimate complaints about your "narrow mindedness". This obviously means you have nothing else to say about the facts in these comments and the facts in this video. Cause you realize that your OPINION is and never will be thought of for anything more than that. Music is music and no one can classify it as "not music" or "music". No matter how many degrees you have.
.......grammerical pathways to truth? Not only is this a horrible metaphor, but grammerical is not a word. It seems grammar is not your friend either.
I'm sorry that your life is so sad and unfullfilling that you need to focus on someone else. I have no grudge against you, but you seem to have one with me. Do you think I'm going to change just because you don't like me. It's not going to happen. Get a hobby that doesn't involve me. Maybe a pet? I oppologise if I have struck a tender nerve or two with you. I have always stood up for myself. You tripped a nerve with me too. No hard feelings. Best wishes and take care friend.
You have a condescending tone, plain and simple. But I do that you at least clearly state that it's your opinion, that perc solos are music. So why didn't you also say that in your opinion, music needs to be a combination of rhythm and melody? I want to know what authority of all music says this. Note, I said ALL music, not just jazz or classical music. Knowing theory in certain styles of music does help you be a better producer, but it does not mean you know all their is to music.
"Mine was not an attempt to speak for everyone...only myself. The statement made by me had zero reference to anyone but myself. "
Well, this is the kind of that thing that should have been said in your original message. People asserted that you were trying to state broad facts. But it's only because you posted this in a public area for all to see. A disclaimer saying it's your own opinion would've helped, just as you did in your answer about percussion.
I will back up my reason for living in the stone age. opposed to bashing computer music. "I" feel that when i use hardware synths and sequencers. The limitations are what makes things unique. you are limited only by your imagination in a sense that you have to be creative and work around your problem and not just downloading the sound or plugin you need from the web. Im an artist in more levels than one. what is creativity if you cant work with what you've got? Not everyone works the same.

Also, after playing in like... three+ rock bands, I don't think many people consider themselves talented if the can don a cover (Unless its dream theater... or like a really good solo or something thats complex...that does take a certain type of skill/talent/dedication)

@cershagree I'm not really sure what you meant by the comment about the kaossilator and talent haha... Maybe thats because I've sorta lost track of what we were discussing. It was quite a ways ago haha.
williamthomasmi10 11 months ago
4) Music can come in any form. The tools used to make it are just that, tools. It is how you utilize such tools to create masterpieces that please the ear. Beatboxing, piano, guitar, this tool in the vid....All these and many more can be used to create music that can be appreciated the same way. Don't focus too much on the tool that is used but rather the piece that is produced from them.
I think I'll stop at there lol. Sorry to ramble so much but I was just fed up with the hate.

3) Please refrain from using foul language if you're trying to prove your point. Displaying your thoughts in such a fashion make you seem unintelligent and will just piss everybody off. It also gives you a horrid image and will make most people not even want to take what you said into consideration. Intellectual debate > Name calling with a few curse words thrown in there.

Megawhites2 1 year ago
Quite a few things to say about the debates happening:
1) If you were a true musician, then you would never comment in such away against another form of music. True musicians appreciate all forms of music no matter what made them.
2) No talent at all in this video? While it's true that anybody can just push a button and make noise out of it, it DOES take musical talent to create something worth listening to. Not everyone is born with the musicality to do such a thing.

This seems like an interested "interactive music" device more than an instrument. I used to have an Rm1x and had fun "jamming" on it, but never used it when writing music.
There appear to be two basic ways of writing music. One like painting where you start with a blank canvas and add to it till you have it, or sculpting, chipping away at layers of loops and samples to reveal your song. I typically write from nothing and match what I hear in my head, (or heart). No Tenori for me.

@SidneyTurner Or you could say art has infinite rules. The rule of this music is that it is created on the tonori-on. The rule of music on a guitar is that is created on guitar. Painting is limited by canvas and paint, and photography by camera and photoshop (used to be film). In either case, the expression of art is limitless.

Great! The Tenori-On is a different instrument, very suited to the rave set. Some people "get it" and some don't, and you sir are in the "Got It" camp!
Dracopol 2 years ago
Oops, I'm clumsily adding an after-thought but the secret to playing the Tenori-On is not to let things repeat too much while you're twiddling one little new thing. It would sound like ponderous repetitive Techno. Prepare some sequences beforehand, switch often, keep things moving, add your live performance flourishes too, and then find some way to halt it all gracefully. That's the way!

Yes, there's an online game like the Tenori-On. It's called "Lite-Brite", lol. But if you're asking whether there is something online that you can play music like that, it will be hard. With a Tenori-On you have at least 2 fingers (your thumbs) to work it, but on the Web you only have 1 mouse, it wouldn't be practical.

Oh boy, it seems like Demofactory is like one of those people who thinks an art can only be properly learned in an institutional setting...in the way so many schools are concerned with producing students to maintain the status quo. The problem with these schools is that they have so many people with similar field experience that they have no appreciation of what other fields/experiences can teach. It's reluctant to change academia because it's so focused on being academia.

Hmm... true there is no melody, but that's kind of what electronic music is about right? repetitive beats, beeps and squeaks. You're basically saying here you don't like this genre of music. Also this modern new fangled repetitive headache inducing beat music is nothing new... what about Taiko (very old Japanese/Buddhist drum music) no melody either but I'm sure the monks would tell you it evokes much thought and emotion in them.

You have a condescending tone, plain and simple. But I do that you at least clearly state that it's your opinion, that perc solos are music. So why didn't you also say that in your opinion, music needs to be a combination of rhythm and melody? I want to know what authority of all music says this. Note, I said ALL music, not just jazz or classical music. Knowing theory in certain styles of music does help you be a better producer, but it does not mean you know all their is to music.

"Mine was not an attempt to speak for everyone...only myself. The statement made by me had zero reference to anyone but myself. "
Well, this is the kind of that thing that should have been said in your original message. People asserted that you were trying to state broad facts. But it's only because you posted this in a public area for all to see. A disclaimer saying it's your own opinion would've helped, just as you did in your answer about percussion.

Im an artist in more levels than one. what is creativity if you cant work with what you've got? Not everyone works the same.
