Tenori-on musical instrument demo

The newly released Tenori-on, developed by Toshio Iwai for Yamaha, has been mentioned on several blogs. But I particularly liked this short demo from engineer Yu Nishibori. Tenori-on is a 16-channel, 16-layer music sequencer, with a modernized 8-bit-ish sound. I particularly liked the visual feedback that the interface provides — deleting, moving and setting tones, and the “playback head” are all quite well articulated. It might not have the expressive capabilities of keyboard-based interfaces, but it seems that the interface could be easily extended to permit more expressive play.
