Paint the music with Tenori-on

It's obvious that almost everybody likes listening to music. But there are people who in addition to that like making it. Just for that kind of people Japanese designers created absolutely new instrument. It's named Tenori-on that can be interpreted from Japanese as "sounds on the palm". This gadget, which has 8 inches in diameter, will enable techno lovers to create new tunes and beats by touching or sliding on touch-sensitive surface.

Matrix that consists of LED keys covers front and back sides of the instrument. So when you touch these keys LED indicators light and you can see music just in the process of its creation. There are some ways of making music with this device. For example, "Bounce" function enables you to draw a sound wave on the matrix and to choose a beat that is appropriate for its diapason. Also you can program each key on a certain sound. A liquid-crystal indicator is used to switch functions. You can create quite complex tracks with the help of this gadget. However, if it is not enough, you will be able to download different samples from your PC by means of SD card. Moreover, if your friend buys Tenori-on too, you can connect both instruments and with each other and organize a synchronized recording session.
