Layers and Performance Modes
The TENORI-ON Is …
The TENORI-ON is a new type of musical interface that combines control and display
functions in matrix of 256 LED buttons.
The 16 x 16 TENORI-ON matrix can be operated easily and intuitively, so that anyone can
begin playing the instrument right away. Light animation is generated in synchronization with
the performance and sound.
Layers and Performance Modes
The TENORI-ON has 16 layers divided into 6 different "modes" with different input methods
and types of sound/light response.
Each layer individually memorizes note timing, voice, pitch, loop position and other
parameters. The performance modes and the layers they are associated with are listed in
the table below. Up to 16 layers can be played simultaneously, allowing a vast range of
possibilities for rich, complex musical expression and performance.

Layers and Blocks
Layers and Blocks
The TENORI-ON handles a complete set of 16 layers as a "block." You can have up to 16
blocks, each with up to 16 layers. You can switch between blocks instantaneously to create
varied performances with plenty of musical interest.
Parameters that apply to individual layers (voice, pitch, note entry position, etc.) are
internally managed separately from parameters that apply to individual blocks (master
tempo, master transpose, master scale, etc.). This makes it possible, for example, to create
variations within the same song in which only the note timing is altered, and instantly switch
between variations. The only exception is that layers have the same voices throughout all
bocks (e.g. layer 3 in block 1 will use the same voice as layer 3 in block 10), so changing
blocks won’t change the voice for a given layer.

Since the blocks will usually hold similar performance data, convenient block copy functions

Voices
Voices
The various sounds that can be played by the TENORI-ON are called "voices." The TENORI-
ON can use up to 256 voices, 253 of which are built in and play via the internal MIDI tone
generator. A wide range of voices including piano, strings, drums, percussion, sound
effects, and voices developed specifically for use with the TENORI-ON are provided.
The remaining three voice numbers are reserved for voice samples provided by the user.
Samples you have created using your computer or downloaded can be converted and
assigned for use with the TENORI-ON by using the supplied TENORI-ON User Voice
Manager software, saved to an SD Memory Card, and then loaded into the TENORI-ON.
User voice can be played in the same way as the internal MIDI tone generator voices.
A different voice can be assigned to each layer, and all notes played on a given layer will be
played using the same voice. Multiple layers with different voices assigned to each can be
played simultaneously. But of course you could also assign the same voice to multiple
layers. Maximum polyphony (the maximum number of notes that can be played
simultaneously) is 32. If more than 32 notes are played at the same time, only the last
(newest) 32 notes will be played.
The voices can be varied by adjusting gate time (the length of the notes), transposition,
octave shift, and other parameters. There’s also a Master Tuning parameter that can be used
to tune the MIDI tone generator voices.
The ionian C scale is assigned to layer pitches by default (i.e. the LED buttons produces
pitches corresponding to the white keys on a piano). The default scale can be changed via
the menu.
MIDI drum voices have no pitch variation. Each LED button produces the sound of a different
drum or percussion instrument. For this reason scale, octave shift, and transpose settings
have no effect on drum voices.
Reverb and chorus effects can be applied to the voices. The effect type and depth can be
set as required.
A number of other variations can be applied to voices. Refer to the items listed below for
more information.

● Synchronized Performance with Other TENORI-ON Instruments
Two TENORI-ON instruments can be connected via MIDI so that when playback is started or
paused on the "Master" TENORI-ON, the "Slave" TENORI-ON follows. To use this capability
one of the connected TENORI-ON instruments must be set to Master status and the other
must be set to Slave. It is also possible to synchronize more than two TENORI-ON
instruments in this way. In such cases only one TENORI-ON can function as the Master while
all others are Slaves.

Power-on Procedure
If you have the TENORI-ON connected to an external sound system, it is important to turn
the devices in your audio chain on in the correct order to prevent unwanted noise as well as
possible damage to your equipment.
Before turning the power on, make sure that any volume controls on all devices are turned all
the way down.
When turning power on, you should normally begin with the source and end with power
amplifiers or powered speakers. Here’s an example:
1. TENORI-ON 2. Mixer 3. Powered Speakers
The opposite applies when turning power off:

Performance Modes Score Mode
Score Mode
The Score Mode is assigned to TENORI-ON layers 1 — 7.
The Score Mode is selected by default when the power is turned on.
Score Mode Operation
In this mode the TENORI-ON interface functions like a musical "score" on which you can
write the notes to be played in one musical measure via the 16 x 16 LED button matrix.
The "loop indicator" (four lit LED buttons in a vertical column) proceeds from left to right, and
active notes will play when the loop indicator passes over them. Light animation will also
occur for each note played. The loop indicator will loop back to the beginning once the right
edge of the matrix is reached.
Press the [OK] button while the highlighted "STOP" indicator in the lower right corner of the
LCD display is shown to temporarily pause loop playback. The loop indicator will stop at the
position at which the [OK] button is pressed. Press the [OK] button a second time and loop
playback will resume from the point at which it was paused. You can change the point from
which playback will resume by moving the paused loop indicator to the desired position
(press an LED button at the desired start position).

❊ Changing the light animation. (Animation ➝ Page 53)
The horizontal axis corresponds to time and the vertical axis corresponds to the pitch of the
notes played. The factory default scale for the vertical axis is an ionian scale, corresponding
to the white keys on a piano.

If a drum voice is selected each note on the vertical axis does not correspond to a different
pitch in the scale, but rather to a different instrument in the drum "kit." See "Voices" on
Page 6.
Press an LED button briefly to play the sound assigned to it. If you hold the LED button a bit
longer it will remain lit and will become an active note. Press and hold an active note to de-
activate it (the LED button will go out).

Performance Modes Random Mode
Random Mode
The Random Mode is assigned to layers 8 — 11.
Random Mode Operation
If you press an LED button long enough to enter an active note in the Random Mode, the
active note will play back repeatedly. If you then enter a few more active notes, the lights will
"travel" from note to note, in the order entered, and the active notes will sound when the
traveling light passes over them. The Random Mode thus produces a totally different type of
loop from the Score Mode.
[Reference]
❊
The next active note will play at the specified 1-beat timing. The length of each beat can be adjusted via the
Loop Speed parameter (Loop Speed ➝ Page 29, 51. Master Loop Speed ➝ Page 45).
You can even spin loop-shapes you create in the Random Mode by holding the [L4] button
and running a finger around the matrix in the direction and at the speed of the desired spin.
The pitches of the notes will change accordingly as the shape spins, producing loop sound
effects.

The Draw Mode is assigned to layers 12 and 13.
Draw Mode Operation
In this mode you can press individual LED buttons or draw lines or curves on the matrix, and
those actions will be played back and repeated. You can keep adding to your "composition"
during playback to build up thick sonic textures.
[Reference]
❊
Recording and playback of LED button operations loops in 16th-beat increments in the Score mode. LED
button operations are played back in the next loop. The loop length (cycle) can be adjusted via the Loop
Speed parameter (Loop Speed ➝ Page 29, 51. Master Loop Speed ➝ Page 45).
❊ In the Draw Mode you cannot clear only a part of the performance. The entire layer can be cleared by
pressing the [CLEAR] button.
When a button is pressed it will sound and be activated immediately. In the Draw Mode there
is no need to press and hold a button to enter a note. Because this, in the Draw mode is
possible to "draw sounds" by running your finger(s) over the LED button matrix in various
ways.

Bounce Mode Operation
Press an LED button and the light will "drop" from that button, bounce back from the bottom
of the matrix, and repeat. The corresponding note will sound when the light bounces at the
bottom row.
The higher the entry point, the longer the interval between the sound. By choosing
appropriate entry points you can set the repeat interval as required.

Push Mode
The Push Mode is assigned to layer 15.
Push Mode Operation
In this mode if you press and hold an LED button the sound of the corresponding note will
begin to change gradually. The way the note changes will depend on the voice used (this
feature will only work with sustained voices that have a time-based tonal change in the
sustained portion of the voice’s envelope). Voices 15/01 through 15/16 have been
specifically created for use in the Push mode, and are recommended.
The flashing surrounding the pressed button will gradually get brighter and wider.
If the button is held briefly the note and flashing will stop when you release it, but if you hold
the button for longer the note and flashing will continue even after the button is released.
To stop a note that is sounding, press the corresponding LED button (at the center of the
flashing LED buttons).
The factory default scale for the horizontal axis is an ionian scale, corresponding to the white
keys on a piano. Nothing is assigned to the vertical axis.

Solo Mode Operation
Press an LED button and the corresponding note will repeat until the button is released. The
LEDs in a column in which an LED button is pressed will flash upwards.
In the solo mode the pitches are arranged horizontally, like a piano. The vertical axis sets the
interval between repeats: you can change the interval between repeats easily by pressing or
sliding your finger to a lower (longer) or higher (shorter) LED button in the column.
If a sustained voice is used the note will sound for as long as the button is held.

When a Random Mode layer is selected you can spin loop-shapes by holding the [L4] button
and running a finger around the matrix in the direction and at the speed of the desired spin.
● Rotation direction and speed settings apply to the same layer in all blocks.
● To stop rotation, press and hold the LED button, or press the same LED button twice while holding the [L4]
button. Pressing the [CLEAR] button clears only the active notes, leaving the rotation data active unless
rotation has been stopped.
● Individual notes cannot be entered or cleared by pressing their LED buttons during rotation.
■ Range . . . . . . . . . . . . The speed at which the LED buttons are stroked is detected, and the nearest rotation
speed* is automatically selected from the eight listed below.
4 beats (384 clocks),
3 beats (288 clocks),
2 beats (182 clocks),
1 beat (96 clocks),
3/4 beat (72 clocks),
1/2 beat (48 clocks),
1/4 beat (24 clocks),
1/8 beat (12 clocks)
* Rotation speed: Each complete rotation consists of 32 steps, and thus each step covers
an angle of 11.25°. Rotation speed is specified as the number of beats between steps.
[Reference]
The length of each beat can be adjusted via the Loop Speed parameter (Loop Speed ➝ Page 29, 51. Master

Using the [R5] Button to Copy Layers
By holding the [R5] button and performing the operations described below you can copy
either a single layer or all layers from the current block to another block.
1. If the current block is not the block containing the layers you want to copy, hold the
[R5] button and press the LED button corresponding to the desired "source" Block (the
LEDs in that column will light dimly).
2. If you repeatedly press the lowest LED button in the lit column while holding the [R5]
button, the LED buttons in the lit column will switch between three levels of brightness
in the following sequence: dim ➝ medium ➝ bright ➝ dim. The functions
corresponding to each brightness level are: dim = block move, medium = copy 1 layer,
bright = copy all layers. The procedures to copy 1 or all layers are described below.
To Copy a Single Layer
While holding the [R5] button while the LED buttons are lit dimly, press the lowest LED
button in the lit column once so that the LED buttons shine at medium brightness, and
then press an LED button in column corresponding to the block you want to copy to.
The current layer from the source block will be copied to the same layer in the
destination block. Release the [R5] button.
To Copy All Layers
While holding the [R5] button while the LED buttons are lit dimly, press the lowest LED
button in the lit column twice so that the LED buttons shine at maximum brightness,
and then press an LED button in column corresponding to the block you want to copy
to. All layers from the source block will be copied to the destination block. Release the
[R5] button.
When the copy operation is complete the destination block will be selected and the
LED buttons will automatically return to their minimum brightness level.

Data that is Erased When the Power is Turned Off
■ All block set
All active notes and settings for all layers and blocks are not retained in memory when the
power is turned off, so if you want to keep any active notes data you have created you will
need to use the Save All Blocks function described on Page 69 to save it to an SD Memory
Card.
■ Data Listed as "Save as Default" in the "Backup" Column of the Chart Below
These items are not retained in memory when the power is turned off, but can be saved to
the internal flash ROM as the default settings by using the Save As Default function
described on Page 106. Settings saved in this way become the power-on default settings.
Items listed as "Automatic Backup" in the "Backup" column of the chart are automatically
saved as the power-on default settings whenever a change is made.
Initialization
The entire system can be restored to the factory default settings by using the Factory Reset
function described on Page 108. To reset all active notes and settings for all layers and
blocks, use the Reset All Blocks function described on Page 58.
All data will be erased when the Factory Reset function is executed. Be sure to save any data you want
to keep to an SD Memory Card beforehand.

Handling SD™ Memory Cards
*SD Memory Card is a registered trademark of the SD Card Association.
This instrument features a built-in SD Memory Card slot. It lets you save original data you’ve created on the
instrument to a SD Memory Card, and allows you to load data from a card to the instrument. Be sure to
handle SD Memory Cards with care. Follow the important precautions below.
Compatible SD Memory Card types
● SD Memory Cards with a capacity of two gigabytes or
less.
NOTE:
• SD Memory Cards formatted on this device may or
may not be useable as is on other devices.
• This instrument is not compatible with SDIO and
SDHC cards.
Formatting SD Memory Cards
● If you find that you are unable to use new, blank SD
Memory Cards or cards that have been used with
other devices, you may need to format them. For
details on how to format a SD Memory Card, see
Page 107. Keep in mind that all data on the card will
be lost after formatting. Make sure to check
beforehand whether or not the card contains
important data.
NOTE:
• SD Memory Cards formatted on this device may or
may not be useable as is on other devices.
Inserting/removing SD Memory Cards
Inserting SD Memory Cards
● Insert the SD Memory Card with the terminal (gold-
plated) side face down into the card slot, until it clicks
into place.
* Accessing includes saving, loading, formatting and
deleting. Also, be aware that the instrument will
automatically access the SD Memory Card to check
the media type when it is inserted while the instrument
is turned on.
Never attempt to remove the SD Memory
Card or turn the power off during
accessing. Doing so can damage the
data on the instrument or card and
possibly damage the SD Memory Card
itself.
About SD Memory Cards
Handle SD Memory Cards with care, and follow
these precautions:
● There are times when static electricity affects SD
Memory Card. Before you touch a SD Memory Card,
touch something metallic such as a door knob and
aluminum sash, to reduce the possibility of static
electricity.
● Be sure to remove the SD Memory Card from the SD
Card slot when it is not in use for a long time.
● Do not expose the SD Memory Card to direct sunlight,
extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive
humidity, dust or liquids.
● Do not place heavy objects on a SD Memory Card or
bend or apply pressure to the card in any way.
● Do not touch the gold-plated terminals of the SD
Memory Card or put any metallic plate onto the
terminals.
● Do not expose the SD Memory Card to magnetic
fields, such as those produced by televisions,
speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can
partially or completely erase data on the SD Memory
Card, rendering it unreadable.
● Do not insert the SD Memory Cards in the wrong
direction.
● Do not insert anything other than a SD Memory Card
in the slot.
Removing SD Memory Cards
● After making sure that the instrument is not
accessing* the SD Memory Card, insert the card until
it clicks into place and release it. When the SD
Memory Card is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the
card cannot be removed because it is stuck, do not
try to force it, but instead try re-inserting the card
completely into the slot and attempt to eject it again.
To protect your data (write-protect switch):
● SD Memory Cards are equipped with a write-protect
switch. To prevent accidental erasure of important
data saved in SD Memory Card, slide the write-protect
switch on the device to the "protect" position. When
saving data, make sure that the write-protect switch is
set to the "overwrite" position.
Data Backup
● For maximum data security, Yamaha recommends that
you keep two copies of important data on separate
SD Memory Cards. This gives you a backup if one
card is lost or damaged.

Provides access to Samplings file operations.
The TENORI-ON provides three user voices: <01/16,> <02/16,> and <03/16.> Audio
samples can be loaded into the TENORI-ON and played via these voices.
Audio samples can be converted to the sample format used by the TENORI-ON (.tnw file
extension) using the TENORI-ON User Voice Manager software provided on the supplied
CD-ROM. This menu provides access to a number of functions that can be used to manage
".tnw" files.

■ Creating User Voices (Sampling Files)
Audio files that have been recorded using a computer or downloaded from the Internet
must be converted to the TENORI-ON user voice file format ("sampling" file format with a
".tnw" file name extension) before they can be loaded into the TENORI-ON user voice
numbers and played.
The TENORI-ON User Voice Manager software provided on the supplied CD-ROM can be
used to convert audio files to the appropriate format and assign them to the TENORI-ON
LED buttons. Sampling files thus created can then be transferred to the TENORI-ON using
an SD Memory Card.

1 Prepare the audio files.
Samples can be extracted from commercially obtainable sample CDs, downloaded
from the Internet, or recorded using your own recording equipment or computer. The
sample files must be in either WAV or AIFF format.
The supported file formats are as follows:
22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz sampling rate; 8 or 16 bits; stereo or mono.
● Mono files will be converted to stereo files with the same data in the L and R channels.
Up to 16 samples can be assigned to each user voice (one of each of 16 LED
buttons). For a single instrument voice, for example, those samples can be at 16
different pitches. The audio files assigned to a TENORI-ON user voice can be used
in two different ways:
● Sound effects, drum or percussion sounds, or other types of one-shot samples can be individually
played by the LED buttons to which they are assigned.
● Audio files of the same instrument at different pitches can be assigned to the LED buttons in scale
sequence so they can be played in the same way as the internal MIDI tone generator voices.
It is necessary to prepare the appropriate type of audio files according to way they
are to be used.
