  • Page 4: The Tenori-On Is

    The TENORI-ON Is … The TENORI-ON is a new type of musical interface that combines control and display functions in matrix of 256 LED buttons. The 16 x 16 TENORI-ON matrix can be operated easily and intuitively, so that anyone can begin playing the instrument right away.

  • Page 5: Layers And Blocks

    Layers and Blocks The TENORI-ON handles a complete set of 16 layers as a "block." You can have up to 16 blocks, each with up to 16 layers. You can switch between blocks instantaneously to create varied performances with plenty of musical interest. Parameters that apply to individual layers (voice, pitch, note entry position, etc.) are internally managed separately from parameters that apply to individual blocks (master tempo, master transpose, master scale, etc.).

  • Page 6: Voices

    Voices The various sounds that can be played by the TENORI-ON are called "voices." The TENORI- ON can use up to 256 voices, 253 of which are built in and play via the internal MIDI tone generator. A wide range of voices including piano, strings, drums, percussion, sound effects, and voices developed specifically for use with the TENORI-ON are provided.
