Everybody who just loves the Yamaha TENORI-ON synthesizer and just simply can't afford it, would love this website. For everyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about: the TENORI-ON synthesizer is a digital musical instrument with a 16x16 matrix of LED switches which allows everyone to play music intuitively, creating a visible music interface. Look at the movie below this blog for an example.

Now Andre Michelle has also made a simple sinewave synthesizer triggered by an 16step sequencer for the web. Click here to check it out. How does it work? When you click on the squares, each triggered step causes a force on the underlaying wave-map. And this causes a repeating sound by which you can add as many sounds as you like. There is even a version for your iphone: Pak1Sound1. I just think it's fun to play with. Or maybe an inspiration for the New Talent Night \ Music Special on May 19th?
