Basic TENORI-ON Operation: Score Mode
TENORI-ON "Modes"
The TENORI-ON 16 x 16 LED button matrix is simultaneously a
performance input controller and display. By operating and interacting
with the LED buttons and the light they produce you gain access to the
TENORI-ON's numerous performance capabilities.
The TENORI-ON provides six different performance and sound/light
modes for broad performance versatility, and these modes can
be combined and used simultaneously for rich, complex musical
expression.

The Score Mode
The Score Mode is the basic TENORI-ON performance mode.
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 time axis of the score proceeds
from left to right (the horizontal axis), beginning at the left edge of the
matrix and then looping back to the beginning once the right edge of
the matrix is reached. The vertical axis corresponds to the pitch
of the notes played. If more than one note is entered on the same
vertical line, for example, those notes will be played simultaneously as
an interval or chord. The maximum number of notes or intervals/chords
that can be entered horizontally is 16, but within that range the number
and playback speed can be set as required, allowing the creation of
complex groupings when multiple Score-Mode layers are combined.
