Tenori-On at SIGGRAPH 2005

[silenthillvictim]

i don't think this is nearly as cool as Korg's Kaossilator or Kaoss Pad

[KeithRonaldssen]

you think that those korg's products are COOLER than tenori on? o.O wtf! o.O check out "tenori on save my night" video (youtube ID = uv49Y_H9H6I).. i can assure you cannot make a song like that with them in realtime. because i own them both. kaossillator has 8 beats loop, TO 16, kaossillator is not expendable, TO has an SD card, kaossillator has layers but no control on them, TO has 16 indipendent layers. KP3 has max 4 samples at time, TO a load. You can't compare TO with KP3/KS

[GamerConor]

very different things, specially the Kaossilator, pice of crap. seriously if u used all three ud know which are better etc.

[Nanovirus5995]

The Kaossilator isn't crap. I own one and i think they are brilliant. They fun, quick to use and understand. I think they are more for the "On the go" songs were are the Tenori-On is more for the "Actual Song" songs. They are really completely different tools.

And wats the point of this machine

[DarkRedSTG]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

[mrbuster123]

where can these be bought at?

[Pozland306]

In Japan at K.N. Music Store in Kawasaki city, -AT- Kawasaki station. Kind of funny since it's made by Kawasaki too, heh heh

[mrbuster123]

Thanks

[MadCircle01]

sorry to ruin ur coinsidence but yamaha makes the tenori-on

[Pozland306]

My mistake, I had the names mixed up. HOWEVER you can still buy it at the big music store at Kawasaki Station, in Kawasaki. It is on the 5th floor.

[MadCircle01]

how much were they going for? I gotta get one of those as soon as possible

[Pozland306]

They are VERY expensive. The K.N. Music Store was selling them for an obscene 120,000 yen and the Sato Music Shop in Shibuya carried them for 135,000 yen!!!!!!

[MadCircle01]

ouch, whats dat in dollars like 950-1000?

[Pozland306]

More like $1,100 Canadian. But good guess.

[ZatBaraka]

Does anyone out there have a personal experience with it?

[abbaroc]

true hobogun.. but waste your money cuz cuz it looks cool and trendy.. c'maaaaan lmao

[hobogun]

it seemed like a neat new tool for modern music. but then as i watch more of these videos, i realize that its just like a keyboard. most keyboards already have the capacity to do these metronomical features.

[Dazbo10]

the demos being shown arent realy very good,the machine is capable of stunning dance grooves with big drum sounds and more,..

[TheGreatAnimator]

that is very very cool however i think i might get bored with it after 3 days

[psppimp94]

cool i guess but it will get boring and annoying lites 4 1200$...lol

[gsboss]

looks like a useless thing

[FilmPA]

for the kids.. not adults

[gsboss]

how so?

[tonytone604]

with importable samples and score mode with games I can see it being sweet but realistically , its for showing off your weird toy , or getting your fix of 8 bit nintendo BGM

[BurningFlags]

It actually looks fascinating. We'll surely see it soon in live performance. Look forward to that. The price will drop with time.

[ollybillebobfishface]

Sorry if i'm being ignorant but touldn't it be cheaper to hook up a touch screen to a pc and run a program and the it could change colours

[guapowesley]

Monome is kinda like what you're talking about. It's not much cheaper though. For their 16x16 matrix, it's $1400 and it's not a stand alone operator like the Tenori-On is. It has to be hooked to a computer with various programs--it's more technical to use but has more possibilities.

[pantalonesgigantesca]

i agree it is very expensive, but you should really educate yourself about its unique features before posting ignorant comments. but such is the way of the internet.

[betomngmnt]

whats that for is just a game or what it does not look funny to me at all but anyways. someone please tell me what that thing work for

[anonymous4698]

Don't care, I hate my dad ;)

[jayshilo]

This is like a cross between SIMON and Lite-Brite

[sowhatdude1]

Now those were fun games ... well Simon was anyway! good times ... :O)

[anonymous4698]

Furby was japanese too? This looks damn cool though, no way I'd pay $1000 for it (is that USD?)

I would like to try it though

[00WhiteAces00]

Thats only £500

I mean thats TOTALLY cheap lol for something soo complex.

[sethtastic89]

Still.. $1000

[webgrunt]

Agreed. For $20 or $30, it would be a reasonably-priced toy. $1000 for this is laughable.

[bobafruti]

what on earth? a new MIDI controller?... that'd certainly be sweet for an art installation or something.

[sethtastic89]

It's a sequencer the sequences itself, plus with blinky lights. Many capabilities.
