TENORI-ON: Playing Sound and Ambient Light Patterns
Tenori-On is great LED based novel personal digital instrument for playing sound and ambient light patterns developed by Toshio Iwai.
It is operated by touching 16×16 LED switches. You could think of them as musical keyboards that respond to the subtlety of your finger touch by emitting light waves, creating afterglow, and making soothing sound sequences. The instrument knows how long and from which direction the player touches each LED switch as well as the tilt angle. ITRON is used as the computational engine that handles complex processing in real time. It has a jog dial, LCD display, hi-quality stereo speakers, and four function switches in the frame. On the back side of the device are additional 16×16 LEDs that allow audience to see the light patterns as well. Multiple TENORI-ON devices can be connected for collaborative sessions and exchanging songs.
Interface:
The Instrument contains acceleration sensors. The software can calculate direction of finger movement.
It has two built in speakers, a clear button, 12 function buttons on the outside. Small LCD display. Volume control and headphone output. The 16×16 LED matrix on the rear side acts a display only (not input).
Multi-user:
Tenori-On uses the Midi protocol and can communicate with other Tenori-On, synchronizing them. Remote mode allows you to control Tenori-On from a PC or another Midi instrument.
