I found one if these set up on a demo stand at Andertons in Guildford so I hogged it for half an hour or so last sunday morning…. very easy when you read the little intruction leaflet they had on the stand. I would have bought one on the spot but luckily they did not have any for sale – only the demo. I say ‘luckily’ because looking more critically, it sounded no better/worse than my old TG500 rompler did in 1994 (at leasr that was editable), the sample memory is pathetic and there is no way to humanise the sequences. It’s all a bit too perfect & souless really. As for selling it in record shops, it’s obviously marketed at the Nathan Barleys of this world.

808 State are fantastic.

I am quite tempted by the tenori-on now, it’s in stock here:

Saw 808 State do a live set on saturaday night with one of these as well as all their old hardware. It was awesome!

Trying to synch up my Tenori to the laptop…with difficulties…seems like the clock in Logic is triggering low notes in the Tenori and when I take
the midi in off, it starts and stops the computer but is not bang on the beat…any cure?

I am pleased it was released in the UK first. (Not just in LONDON!)
You Yanks always get everything first!

It looks pretty lame. The sound is annoying, and it seems like it’s just an interface with blinking lights. Dumb.
