sorry, yes the manual talks about saving but not if it auto saves -- asking since it wont let you overwrite your song files.

[VJFranzK]

@simple312 It doesn't "auto save" per se, but it may seem like that, because when you exit the app and return later, it will have the pattern still there? That is because iOS now leaves apps "running in the background" until you manually quit them. ( Read both manuals to understand, ) Basically, if you like your music as it sounds ( on this, or any app ) make sure to save it manually! ( In multiple versions, if you want. ) That's the best advice I can give.

Hi, really like the videos,I have watched all your videos now, and got the quick tenori-on pdf sheet you made from noisebug.net. One question I have is hard to answer I know because it is a personal thing, but I wondered I have TNR-i for my two ipads and my iphone 4S, but I am wanting something more, like a real tenori-on with the tactile feel to the buttons. I have played with TNR-i a lot, so I think I know the mindset. Would you if you only had ipads buy a real tenori-on if it was you? thx.

@gsarff1958 The answer is - how much do you like Tenori? ( And how much $ do you have? ;-) The machine is expensive, but it is a playable work of modern art, and yes - much more tactile with the buttons ( They click in slightly - aren't rubberized like a Monome or Electribe ) If possible, find a place where you can TRY one - if not, watch a lot of videos! We just filmed one tonight with TNR-i's MIDI / net synced to TNR-W (hardware) - you'll like it. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

@VJFranzK Thank U 4 this:D By the way, i have changed channel name from m2minimal to this one:) and now i'm subscribing:D Keep the good work:)

@M2MiniMal You can now get a MIDI adaptor for your iDevice, such as the new Yamaha iMX1, which I have just reviewed in a new video. Use it to control any hardware synth with MIDI or virtual synths on your laptop.

@simple312 Thanks :) I needed this:)

[simple312]

has anyone found any documentation regarding saving? does it autosave your song/layers/blocks ? it seems like it does, but not sure.

[simple312]

@M2MiniMal you can use it as a midi controller with logic on the mac with the core midi (os x) via wifi, so would think the same is possible w ableton. not sure about windows.

@Rondoggy67 On the surface, it's basically the same. (Identical PCM etc) But if you REALLY listen, there is some difference? To decide WHAT that difference exactly IS I would have to spend a few hours listening to them side by side, with an identical sequence running in both. I suggest you read, and / or become a member of the US Tenori-on forum? Where there are many who have gone into extreme depth considering the complexity of Tenori-On playing.

I hope that helps. Knowledge Is Power!
