Hard to say if it is more than a toy synthesizer, as far as the music
goes. Those tiny speakers! But it is interesting as a controller
concept. The website is "flashy", but the sound is pretty boring.
Maybe it's just the web design. One hopes the sonic capabilities of
Tenori-On are at least as interesting as the light patterns, and that
the designer is concerned as much with the sound as with a light show.
But you couldn't tell it from that site. I might consider buying one of
these to fool with if it had a richer range of timbre than the bleeps
you hear on that demo. And an output jack.
