Media artist Toshio Iwai and Yamaha have collaborated to design a new digital musical instrument for the 21st century, Tenori-On. A 16x16 matrix of LED switches allows everyone to play music intuitively, creating a 'visible music' interface.
By operating and interacting with the LED buttons and the light they produce you gain access to the numerous performance capabilities. The Tenori-On provides six different performance and sound/light modes and these can be combined and used simultaneously for rich, complex musical expression.
