ANIMOOG demo, with TENORI-ON
Here’s a detailed description of what is going on:
I’d rather play it with DOTS than use a keyboard like the rest! To do this was easy, if you have a USB MIDI device like this Alesis IO Dock – I plugged the MIDI OUT dongle on my Tenori-On W to a standard MIDI cable, then to the MIDI IN on the IO Dock. Start up Animoog, and press “SETUP” on the top bar. Press “Refresh MIDI Input(s)” if necessary. Then I selected the option “dock” from the list below. Then I pressed the “X/Y PAD” word on the top bar to go back to playing mode. The Animoog “listened” to the MIDI notes from Layer 1 of my Tenori-On, as if it was any keyboard! I then used layer 2, etc. to add drums and such, while my right hand operated the AniMoog’s amazing touch pad and other controls. Enjoy these 3 jams! Which get more complex as the video goes on. Subscribe, comment, and send me your apps etc. for review!
Smart TNRi iPad glitch experiment
This is a nice experiment by VJFranzK, I believe I know what is going on here, but can you figure it out?
“Can you figure it out? This strange track uses a nonstandard technique to produce sonic glitches at several points through the song. Hint: It’s not changing the tempo ( which I only do at the very end. ) I think I am the first to discover, or film this trick on YouTube? It’s called a Valse because it ( at least begins ) in 12 beat timing.
Sorry my hands are blocking the view in some parts, but I can’t exactly make them transparent 
This requires multiple fingers to do it well, and can’t easily be done on the Hardware Tenori due to the difference in menu systems.”
TNRi – iPHONE vs iPAD – WIRELESS JAM SESSION – David and Goliath by The Great Pyramids
Here’s what’s happening: 10 minute zoom lens IDM Ambient session – like an evolving world map? This is another example of synching two TNRi apps through the internet. We also used Kaoss pads to add additional interesting effects. My iPad was used with the Alesis IO dock for greater output sound quality and MIDI out to synch my Kaoss pad 3, but all sync between the TNRi apps was through wireless internet. We are planning a concert with 4 players – are you up to it?
On the 16 × 16 grid of buttons, basically, the horizontal direction is time, and the vertical direction is pitch.By laying sounds on these buttons, you can combine rhythms and melodies to produce music. A button will glow when its sound is produced. The movements of the glowing lights produce a visual performance.
TNR-i can produce 16 types of sounds at the same time (16 layers), and it can remember up to 16 song patterns produced using those sounds (16 blocks). By switching between song patterns in real time, you can produce a rich variety of musical expressions.
There are six different types of performance modes that you can select for each layer. You can make elaborate music by combining different modes. In score mode, the most fundamental of the modes, you can arrange sounds horizontally (temporally) and vertically (by pitch). In the exciting random mode, the sounds that you arrange are not just played in order—the melody and rhythm constantly change as twists are added. In draw mode, you can perform music by tracing your finger across the buttons as if drawing a picture. In bounce mode, the glowing lights are like bouncing balls that produce sound when they fall. In push mode, you can continuously change the sound as you perform. In solo mode, which is fun for solo performances, you can easily adjust the speed of repetition and the pitch.
Early Experiments on Custom UltraNova Synth/Effects Patches
My friend Mark Mosher in a nice experiment with the UltraNova:
Captured Live on Ustream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mark-mosher-live-experimental-electronic-music. I’m working on set of performances patches for the UltraNova synthesizer (the blue one on top) that lets me not only use it as a synth but also process all the other instruments in real-time. This is an early expeirment where I’m using Theremin and Blofeld synth as audio sources for UltraNova Synth and FX. Tenori-On is triggering notes on UltraNova. UltraNova is acting as a mixer and the sound card and is actually streaming audio directly to USTREAM via USB.

Bring out the noise 
I think the creator of this video sums it up pretty nice:
BOOM BA BOOM BA CLASH BAMM BANG Bip… Ping… BOOOM
How does the new iPad Tenori-On app compare with the original?
The new APP! How does it compare to the original machine? I have both, so I’ll tell you in DETAIL
The new TNR-i is, as with its parent the Tenori-on, based on a 16 x 16 grid of buttons which are used to sequence and trigger sounds; the horizontal direction relates to time, the vertical pitch. Most other features of the original, such as its interchangeable 16 song patterns and different composition modes, also make it to the TNR-i, although this new incarnation has its own set of benefits. Users can link with up to four other people via a network for simultaneous composition, while those who already own the Tenori-on can also connect via this feature.
Tenori-On Midi Madness
King Tet plays Tenori-On as a midi-controller using the Roland SonicCell desktop synthesizer. Recorded with Zoom Q3HD. The innovative Yamaha Tenori-On has captured the imagination of creative musicians and performers bringing new dimensions and thought processes to music construction. The recent announcement from Yamaha of the iPad variant demonstrates the excitement that continues to surround this instrument.

Have you purchased a Tenori On – time to get rid of that one too
Yamaha has released a simulation of the Tenori-On on the iPad. works on the iPhone, too. The iOS version of the world-renowned TENORI-ON brings you a completely new musical interface. Even if you don’t know much about music, you can create music intuitively as if you were arranging sounds in space. The music that you see on the 16 × 16 grid of buttons is the music that is performed.

The movements of the glowing lights produce a visual performance. 16€ isn’t cheap but cheaper than the hardware was/is. It has all modes and functions of the original. it can sync to other TNRs via the Game Center (from Apple). the data on the Hardware SD Cards can be load to the App as well. not said: if it loads a sample stack of 48 sounds as the original and sending MIDI signals isn’t clear, but for that price I’d assume it has to… Since Yamaha offer a MIDI connection kit it is very very likely it sends MIDI (iOS 4.3). since the built in sounds are quite strange I just like to check for it’s sample upload capability.

Kudzu Creative Group has released Koushion
Kudzu Creative Group has released Koushion, a MIDI controller for the iPad, that they say is ’more versatile than the Tenori On’.
Features:
- 16-step sequencer with adjustable timing. Each step can be as large as a whole note and as small as 1/32 note.
- 8 selectable scenes/banks that can be played individually, simultaneously, or in automatic succession.
- Each scene is assignable to any MIDI channel so you can control up to 8 MIDI instruments at once.
- Improvising or playing along with a band? Dial a key and the notes will change to match the new key!
- Syncs to any MIDI clock source available to your computer.
- Works with all major (and not-so-major) MIDI-capable production software on your Mac or PC.
- Perfect for adding some spice to a live set when paired with Ableton Live.
Koushion is $9.99 in the App Store. Details & demo below.

Apart from the vocal performance I think it is pretty nice to watch the Tenori-on in action
