ddn « What kind of music you play? The Tenori-On »
Published on 11/13/13 at 14:13A white square thing plastoc awful aging well with an array of buttons. Connectors, uh, so let's see. Something to connect the transformer. Something for connecting headphones or make out the sound of what you want with a 2.5 jack An SD card for updates and backups and if you like jokes made in Yamaha import samples. A type DIN connector that allows you to connect an adapter to another MIDI stuff for sequencing.
Uh. That's it. So, USB zero, zero battery / battery coughed. Was daring still a creature initially sold more than 600 bullets.
Oh yes, there's a pretty orange cover. HP Logitech would be ashamed to market front. A microscopic LCD backlit display (still) down. And a matrix whatmille buttons that light up in orange to play, that's good that's why we wanted to.
UTILIZATION
The configuration is ... I say special. There is a manual that explains everything well. The display on the bike is a little off-putting because it is small and at first it's a bit of a chore. Very quickly, we understand the logic of the machine and there, something happens. It is simple. Even this is not just light, so to say. You got the impression that all the years you've spent too much hassle with trackers (ModPlug, NoiseTracker those Amiga on 3.11, etc..) You prepared to use only this machine there. It is hard to describe because next functions sequencer classic patterns there's stuff from another world that I give to explain watch videos on Youtube to get an idea.
I have never met such a simple machine with such a creative potential.
SOUNDS
More ... The sounds are a little, see, how to say without being offensive ... A little lame. We can hardly change (just their pitch and duration), they are not very many (but very different), they are quite typed techno/chiptune/8 bits / tracker. The import function samples does absolutely nothing, you can import samples with gender one second over the last four channels of the bike which is already provided in ample drumkits. So obviously you can control another device with the matrix, it is also great fun to do and I enjoyed the creativity that happens. Coupled with a desktop synth good as a Virus or NordRack is good good good.
But it's too complicated. So I came back to the creature sounds lame. And I'm used to. I make music with sounds lame I listen all alone in my bed, his face lit by small lights orange, with a smile. I like. My 5 year old daughter made beats with the Bounce function, she loves. My daughter's favorite DS game is Elektroplankton, so imagine if he likes it, the Tenori-On. Sometimes instead of reading a story we did a little techno session / chiptune both, we had a good laugh.
OVERALL OPINION
I have a few months. I had a kaossillator first generation machine "comparable", which is much less rich (normal, it is much cheaper).
I think this is something that should be tried, because you might try to describe it, it's an experience. This is a Tenori-On, it's the Tenori-On, namely yours. I do not think we should see him as an instrument in the classical sense of the term, it is just itself, you have the right not to like it.
I love it, I assure you it is true. But I have a message for the guys at Yamaha. The next time you sell a piece of plastoc ended badly coming out of the sounds that would have been proud Amiga 1989 with flashing lights, sell the 80 euros using the example of the Monotron. Because if I bought it new at the price you're selling, or even if I had bought used for trading, I would have come myself in your home from Japan to tell you the profanity and pee in your tea.
