The iOS version of the world-renowned TENORI-ON brings you a completely new musical interface.

Even if you do not have any musical knowledge, you can create music intuitively by "placing" sounds on the 16 x 16 button grid that are performed musically and visually.
On the 16 x 16 grid, time is represented horizontally, while the pitch is represented vertically.
Both rythm and melody are combined on the grid to create music.
When the sound is played, the buttons flash which also provides a stimulating visual performance.

Up to 16 tones can be played simultaneously (16 layers), and it can store up to 16 song patterns in memory (16 blocks), which can be activated during a performance in real time to produce a rich variety of musical expressions.

There are six different performance modes for each layer:
- Basic score mode: time is on the horizontal axis and pitch is on the vertical axis
- Random mode: Sounds are played in the order that they were entered, and rotating the device produces a cascade of changing melodies and rythms for your enjoyment
- Draw mode: Sounds are played in response to dragging your finger on the grid, like drawing a picture
- Bounce mode: Sounds are produced when the lights fall, just like a bouncing ball
- Push mode: Continuously change the tones as you perform
- Solo mode: Easily change the speed and pitch to play as a soloist

First, have fun with the demo version. Just changing between blocks gives you the feeling of a real performance.
Load the demo:
(Touch the display) Top Memo -> File Menu -> All Blocks -> iD -> Xtra_uncTK -> Load

TNR-is attraction is not just its faithful reproduction of the TENORI-ON feel or Toshio Iwais design and interface.
TNR-i can connect friends and other TNR-i users via a network connection for session performance.
Up to four people can perform music together over the network.

Pros and cons of TNR-i app for iPhone and iPad

TNR-i app good for

What an Amazone App, but please gibt us back The MIDI Feature, pleeeaaassseee!
Ive been waiting for this for years! Great for the ipad but also fun on the iPhone. I would like to see more instruments and user samples in future updates.
Do you remember the first time you discovered something you thought was so cool you just wanted to tell everyone? This is one of those times. I had my eye on the Tenori-on since its launch in 2007 but just didnt have the extra money to sink. This is a wonderful alternative! Great job!
Its deceptively deep. The way you can just figure this app out is great. I highly recommend this!
A $300 piece of gear turned into a $20 app. Incredible syncopation ability and so many musical possibilities. Love it.
I love its sound and sequencing system. Very inspiring! easy to use. help document also well written. A must have

Some bad moments

...for now charging €17.99 for the new TNI-e which has new samples and fx. Make these in-app for the people who want to buy them, and update THIS TNR-i instead!
Some new features, which can done with an update or iap, sells yamaha with a new full priced app. Dont support such big companies. Ripp of
