Tenori-On 2.1 demo remote performance

Programming is done in maxMSP using the sxformat object. The sxformat object sends the TN sysex info in a decimal format to midiout.

I've added various arguments in string format which act as the parameter variable. That is about as basic as it gets for sending sysex to the TN. All TN key functions have a sysex string that the TN will respond to.

What I'm initially finding is this allows for new ways to control the TN, I think this is where we will see the most interesting developments. In a way, this is like being able to create new modes, controlled from an external device. It also appears, once in the remote mode, that the TN stops outputting MIDI notes and will out put sysex. This allowed me to capture a stream of data (in the video, I draw a figure 8) once a cleared the layer, I could dump the data back in and you se the figure 8 redrawn.

Another observation is the ability to write to one layer while sitting on another layer and change instruments.

The list of things that I am finding is growing the more i play with it and I haven't had this much fun with the TN for a long time. I may post another video demoing this... Basic improv sessions are far more dynamic and evolving than using the L/R 1-5 buttons.

max/MSP is going to reveal a lot more of the creative power of the TN, stay tuned!

is it bi-directional data in this mode? Just wondering how similar it can get to a monome.
