5 out of 5 stars I've got one   September 29, 2008

I read about the Tenori-on in a computer music magazine, & then went to have a look on You Tube to see what it was & what it can do. I ordered mine from Amazon & it arrived within 3 days, so no complaints there.

I suppose that you could say that it is a very expensive toy, which it is, but it is also a very easy way to create music. The internal sounds are nothing special, & it sounds best when played through an amplifier & speakers (mine goes via powered computer speakers) but you can load your own samples by using an SD card. It also has midi in & out & I have found it is a very useful midi controller. I have used mine for that purpose as I am not a particularly gifted keyboard player. I have programed complicated musical parts with the Tenori-on which I don't have the ability to play in real time, then put it through my sequencing software (Reason 4) & used the various soft synths & effects available in that to produce my own tracks.

This is really for anyone who is into computer based music but has no formal music training (me for example). If you want to do more than paste loops & samples this is a good way to start. I think that it is a little overpriced, but I have acheived something creative from it so I am satisfied. Overall I think that this was a good purchase for me. By the way, you don't need to be young & technically minded to learn to use a Tenori-on, I'm over 50 & I found it very easy to use straight off.
