Yamaha, you have tickled me today. The Tenori-On, a new drool-worthy gadget thinly disguised as a "digital musical instrument" creates visible music, which dances across it's 16 x 16 LED matrix screen. By pressing different LED buttons, you can create notes which can then be further manipulated by pressing the controllers on the side of the screen, altering pitch, tempo, loop control and more. Playing the Tenori-On is fascinating, because can be done not only by listening to the notes, but by watching the screen and using patterns and shapes to form music. Hard to explain, but easy and beautiful to watch.Now, all you music nerds whose jaws just dropped to the floor, let me say this: the Tenori-On is only available in extremely limited quantities, for a measly sum of $1200. Orders are on a first come, first served basis, so register now if you'd like to pick up a unit.
