Jordan Rudess demos Yamaha’s Tenori-On

August 8, 2008

Here’s a short video of keyboard player Jordan Rudess playing around with Yamaha’s Tenori-On sound/light synthesiser.

It shows the other side of the Tenori-On (I hadn’t realised the lights were visible from both sides), and while it means you can’t see exactly what controls Jordan is using, it’s still an interesting demo.

PaklSound1: Virtual Tenori-On for the iPhone

August 7, 2008

Funnily enough, yesterday I said how cool it would be to have a Tenori-On simulation on the iPhone, and lo-and-behold I find a YouTube video of one in development.

It’s not perfect, of course, but it has all the makings of being a great application. Maybe I’ll do some digging around at some point and see what the comparative specifications between the two systems are. That might give an idea as to how much further this application could be taken.
