Amazing Music Machine...

This was an ATI technical demonstration for their 3D cards from a wee while back. Kind of cute.. but there was no way of re-programming it with a different midi, so all a bit forced really.
hmph. It's Monday, give me 36 or so hours and I might be able to come up with something positive to respond with.

To be perfectly honest, I was trying to recollect the name of the Yamaha Tenori-On music machine for the 'Ultimate Designer Present' thread and I typed 'Amazing Music Machine' into Google and it threw up this animation. I have to confess I didn't even watch it beyond the first couple of seconds. I thought it looked quite good so I slapped it in here. Having watched it all the way through now I can conclude that its pretty shit and wasn't worth posting. Apologies for wasting anyones time!!!

Ah, yes, I know the one - it's called the 'Yamaha Tenori-On'.
Any time, fella.

I'm pretty sure Yamaha made it.

Yes I think so too. Either Yamaha or Casio, but definitely Yamaha.

It had a matrix of buttons which lit up when you pressed them, didn't it? Inside a silver-finish bevel. I'm pretty sure it was simple enough so a child could use it too.
Christ, this is hard - it's on the tip of my tongue.

From what I recall, you played sounds to it, and it responded with an array of flashing lights in formation. Wait, no... it was the OTHER WAY ROUND... IT played a song to YOU, and YOU lit up in sequence to the notes... or was it... no, wait, its... you... it... wasn't it called a 'Tenori-On'?

hi guys. how is the conversation going?
;)
- detritus0
Perhaps you can help, lvl_13? We're trying to recollect something.
Something IMPORTANT.
So important, I'm not sure it's wise to reveal the nature of it here, publically. Do you have a secure line where you're at?

... or a fax machine? Doesn't need to be colour, an old Black&White one will do.
