• The electronic instrument everyone can play
  
• "Program" as much or as little as you want

The electronic instrument everyone can play
You've never experienced an instrument like the Tenori-on. Even if you've never played an instrument, you'll feel home with the Tenori-on in your palm. Just by playing with the 16x16 matrix of LED buttons, you can create incredible loops, sequences, and sonic textures. Enter Random Mode and spin your finger in the direction and speed you want the music to go — the loops instantly warble, fluctuate, and groove in a wild new direction. Once you've created something you love, you can save it to an SD card and preserve your newly discovered musical genius.

"Program" as much or as little as you want
While the Tenori-on is a reservoir of possibility for anyone and everyone, even the most experienced DJs and musicians will be able to plot their musical course and program as deeply as desired. The Yamaha Tenori-on has 16 layers, which you can think of as "performance parts" or "recording tracks." You can assign separate notes and voices to each layer, and all layers can be played together in synchronization. One set of 16 layers is called a "block," and Tenori-on can store up to 16 programmed blocks in memory... which you can effortless switch between during performance. And with more than 250 voices available, flexible note lengths, easy octave switching, loop point changing, loop speed flexibility, tempo malleability, and total volume control, the Tenori-on is as musically vast as your creativity.

The audience sees the same light show you do
The Tenori-on is exciting to play and it's exciting to watch. While you play with the matrix of LED-lit buttons on your side, the audience can see the same light show on the other side. It's an engaging, interactive experience for everyone — and one that breathes new life into those dimly lit club performances and basement music-making exploits.
