I just received a brand new Yamaha Tenori-On, which is sitting in my living room in an unopened box. This sequencer/performance instrument is absolutely incredible. Unfortunately, Yamaha only released 1000 of these in the U.S. for the entire year. If you didn't get your hands on one, this is your chance.

The Tenori-On is a synthesizer on a 16x16 grid that caters to the novice as easily as the expert. Every button on the grid represents a note. Chords are created by hitting multiple notes in one line, and full pieces are made by placing notes on several lines, which play left to right in sequential order. In addition, each button represents a different sound or instrument, for a total of 256 different built-in noises. Furthermore, samples can be loaded on the unit to make unique creations, and there are several other customization options. The Tenori-On records up to 16 tracks, and files are saved in a format which can be loaded on other Tenori-Ons or edited with MIDI software.
