I think people should see this strictly as a midi controller, and forget about the synth aspect… I see the in-built sounds more like something to help you get going if you have no computer or hardware synth at proximity (to play outside, while travelling, etc..) .

I relly dont get the idea what makes Tenori-On so hyped among people, in my eyes its quite limited tool for posers, sorry.

I’m late with this one…but I love the thing, I’m happy to take it as it is. I WOULD like sampling built-in, like some of you guys…just a crappy little laptop-type mic on top would make me happy, and I don’t need to edit. Just hit record, and the first .97 sec of whatever’s going on in the room goes to a ’slot’, or leave it running longer, and the first 48x.97 sec are mapped to the user slots automatically. If I need more control, I’ll prep files on the Mac.

This and the Monome seem impenetrable to this spectator. Maybe one “gets it” as you play with it. Right now I’m befuddled.

Or is the LCD display not that bad to begin with? It just looks really really small.

The thing with that tho Peter is how would you edit the sound file since there’s no robust LCD screen to work with? I think that sampling into it would be cool and all, but it’s probably best to just load samples via the flash card so that you can actually make sure that your samples are cut properly.

@Rex: Yes, you can. You have to do it via flash card, though. To me, the thing that would make Tenori-On a killer device is an audio-in jack and live sampling.

I thought that you could load your own samples into the Tenori-On??? Am I mistaken?
