Even to the very superficial extent that the two devices are similar, it's not fair to accuse the Tenori-on of being a rip-off. It first appeared at Siggraph 2005, the year before the 40h went on sale (although Daedalus started testing The Box as far back as 2003). In any case, it's far more likely that Iwai was inspired by the classic MPC pad layout and/or the logical step of squaring out a traditional row of step sequencer buttons into a grid than by Crabtree's devices; and again, he took it in a totally different direction.<br><br>And how would a monome save you money? The 256, whose 16x16 grid is most closely comparable to the Tenori-on, costs $200 more, when it's actually available. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[samu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 20th 2008 10:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Yamaha's Tenori-on goes on sale in America]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/yamahas-tenori-on-goes-on-sale-in-america/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/yamahas-tenori-on-goes-on-sale-in-america/</guid><description><![CDATA[It costs just a wee... $1,200!!!!!
