Yamaha’s Tenori-on

It took Yamaha 6 years to develop the Tenori-on, and the electronic musical instrument will finally go on sale in Japan next month. A promotional event for the Tenori-on was held in Tokyo yesterday, and reporters got to try out making music with its 16 by 16 grid of LED switches. It will hit stores on May 12th and cost 121,000 yen (about $1200).

It`s things like these that tend to be the best toys to give your kids. They have no point, they make noise and the inspire creativity. As long as it comes in a different color than "medival gray" I`d be happy to get it for free.

i like this, instead of a piano or other instruments that requires years of dedication to excel at, you can just mash the keys wildly and still get something interesting.

When you press certain notes on the grid, it uses an internal arpeggiator to play those notes and intuitively integrate them into a sequence.

I am sure when the synthesizer first was introduced many couldn`t comprehend of the uses or applications, yet music has been revolutionized by it as an instrument.
