Tenori-on is an electronic musical instrument, designed and created by Japanese artist, Toshio Iwai and Yu Nishibori of the Music and Human Interface Group, Yamaha Center for Advanced Sound Technology. It consists of a screen, held in the hands, of a sixteen by sixteen grid of LED switches, any of which can be activated in a number of ways to create an evolving musical soundscape. The LED switches are held within a magnesium frame, which has two built-in speakers located on the top of frame, as well as a dial and buttons that control the type of sound and beats per minute produced. The instrument was launched in London on September 4th, 2007 for a suggested retail price of $1,200.

    Interesting toy. But all musical instruments are like toys to musicians anyways. So, I think Tenori-On can have its potential.

    Haven't seen any innovation in musical instruments in ages. I think it is about time. I love the idea of Tenori-On. I hope they can make a better English name though. "Tenori-On" is way too Japanese.

    The device looks pretty cool. But when I listened to their MP3 output demos, I was totally disappointed. It was more like random noise than music. Judge for yourself:
