If the price ever drops to around the $500 range, I may pick one up. Until then, I'm just going to continue browsing eBay for a deal]]>Jul 7th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/

- Your voice was about as loud as the music, so I had problems hearing you throughout.

- Having the organ sustain through half the video was a mistake. The constant sound drilled into my head and I now have a headache. The twinkling from the bounce layer was nearly as bad after a while.

- Having multiple layers going at once at nearly the same volume made it hard to tell what the changes you were making did. If you did anything similar again, I'd suggest making all the layers fairly quiet and raising the one you're demonstrating temporarily. You started doing this after a while, but doing it from the start would have been better.

I'm attempting to offer constructive criticism, not slam you. Other than the cacophony and the headache, it was a good overview of what the machine does.

Shame 'bout the price, I second your hope for a cheaper 8x8 version.]]>Jul 7th 2008 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/Jul 7th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/Jul 7th 2008 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/Jul 7th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/Jul 7th 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/Jul 7th 2008 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/Jul 7th 2008 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/
Now, if you jammed this software onto a touchscreen equipped phone like an HTC Advantage, then put some nifty bluetooth features allowing multiple user interaction (proximity, feedback, dueling banjos with inbred hillbillies, what have you....), now you have got a virtual device that you can sell to millions of people, instead of nerdy electronic dj's.

You listening Yamaha? Probably not....]]>Jul 7th 2008 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/Jul 7th 2008 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.myspace.com/deadmau5]]>Jul 7th 2008 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/Jul 7th 2008 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/

Thus, once again proves that you can buy an instrument that costs over a grand, and most of the time the best thing you can do is something really dumb so that everyone will remember.

Thanks Yamaha. As far as your instruments go, I'll stick to my DJX keyboard and Stage Custom drum set.

I'll pull out Electroplankton for my DS if I want to write crap in some weird GUI or whatever, it was $1170 cheaper.

I'm just glad they're not trying to make a bunch of these and sell them in music stores. I'd have to run around slapping them out of peoples hands everytime I walk in Sam Ash.

Oh and btw, "At the end of the day, Toshio's objective of bringing electronic music composition to the masses does kind of fail".

Stop trying. I've heard enough really bad electronic music over the years because every idiot with a copy of Fruity Loops or Acid or Garage Band thinks they can make music. Well, maybe that's just because I'm in America and probably see more of it than him.]]>Jul 8th 2008 4:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/Jul 8th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/Jul 8th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/yamaha-tenori-on-everything-you-wanted-to-know-with-video/
