Introduction Introduction TNR-i is an iPhone/iPad application developed by Yamaha based on its popular TENORI-ON hardware product. This new application lets you enjoy the highly intuitive, “visible” musical world of the TENORI-ON on your iPhone/iPad. This Quick Guide covers the basic operations of the TNR-i. If you want to know more detailed information about this application, please read the TENORI-ON manual, available from the following URL. http://www.global.yamaha.
PAGE 4
Basic Operation: Score Mode Basic Operation: Score Mode TNR-i “Modes” The six modes The TNR-i 16 x 16 LED button matrix is simultaneously a performance input controller and display. By operating and interacting with LED buttons and the light they produce you gain access to the TNR-i’s numerous performance capabilities.
PAGE 5
Basic Operation: Score Mode Master Volume Adjustment To adjust the overall volume of the TNR-i, drag the jog dial while holding the [R4] function button. The volume setting will appear in the Display. Layer volume Master volume Increase volume Drag the dial Touch and hold [R4] button Decrease volume Pausing Loop Playback Current loop indicator Tap the [START/STOP] while the highlighted “STOP” indicator in the lower right corner of the Display is shown to temporarily pause loop playback.
PAGE 6
Function Buttons Function Buttons Functions By holding one of the ten function buttons of the TNR-i and operating the LED buttons you can change voices, change octaves, and apply a variety of effects and variations to your performance. This unique visual/tactile interface has been specifically designed to allow intuitive, instantaneous operation of a variety of functions.  Double-tapping the Function button is equivalent to holding it.
PAGE 7
Function Buttons [L3] + LED buttons Changing Octaves Sets the playback pitch in octave increments. While holding the [L3] button, slide your finger vertically over the matrix to move the lit horizontal line to the desired octave. [L4] + LED buttons Changing Loop Points Sets the loop playback range in the Score Mode.
PAGE 8
Function Buttons [R2] + LED buttons Changing Tempo Sets the playback tempo (BPM). While holding the [R2] button, slide your finger horizontally over the matrix to move the lit vertical line to the desired tempo setting. Moving the line to the right produces faster tempos. Slower [R3] + LED buttons Transposition Faster Higher Adjusts the playback pitch in semitone increments.

Layers and the Performance Modes Layers and the Performance Modes Layers TNR-i layers can be thought of as “performance parts” or “recording tracks.” The TNR-i has a total of 16 layers. Separate notes and voices can be assigned to each layer, and all layers can be played together in synchronization. The 16 layers are divided into six performance mode groups as shown in the illustration below. The six modes have different note entry methods and operation.
PAGE 10
Layers and the Performance Modes The six performance modes are assigned to the 16 layers as shown in the illustration below. Layer number 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 Performance mode Solo mode Push mode Bounce mode Draw mode Random mode Score mode For example, if you tap any LED button in the eighth row from the bottom (any button in this row will do) while holding the [R1] function button as shown in the illustration, you will select the first Random mode layer.
PAGE 11
Random Mode Performance (Layer 8 – 11) Random Mode Performance (Layer 8 – 11) If you touch 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.
PAGE 12
Draw Mode Performance (Layer 12, 13) 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. To stop rotation, touch and hold the LED button or double-tap the LED button while holding the [L4] button.
PAGE 13
Bounce Mode Performance (Layer 14) / Push Mode Performance (Layer 15) Bounce Mode Performance (Layer 14) Tap 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. In the Bounce mode the pitches are arranged horizontally, like a piano, with the lowest pitch on the left and the highest on the right.
PAGE 14
Solo Mode Performance (Layer 16) Solo Mode Performance (Layer 16) Touch an LED button and the corresponding note will repeat until the button is released. In the Solo mode the pitches are arranged horizontally, like a piano. You can change the interval between repeats by touching or sliding your finger to a lower (longer) or higher (shorter) LED button in the column. If you touch the lowest LED button in a column the note will sound once without any repeats.
PAGE 15
Using Blocks Using Blocks Some Ideas for Using Blocks You can leave the current composition in memory while copying it to other blocks where it can be edited to create variations that you can switch between at any time. You could also create totally different compositions in different blocks, and then switch between them in real time for interesting, varied performances.
PAGE 16
Using Blocks Copying from Block to Block You can copy either a single layer to a different block, or all layers from the current block to another block. • Copying via the LED Buttons 1. 2. Select the layer or block you want to copy. Touch and hold the [R5] function button. The currently playing block will be displayed.
