My point is that it had value, influenced design, and influenced the grid controller movement as a result of its creation. I don’t see a reason for people to “hate” on it because it’s not as relevant today or because it didn’t live up to Yamaha’s hype. Way too expensive – yes. Too much hype and not enough support from Yamaha – yes.
It seems to me that the forums are dead because once it shipped, Yamaha clearly stopped thinking about it and I’d imagine Yu Nishibori went back to his day job at Yamaha and Toshio Iwai went back to being an artist. It’s kind of sad they didn’t do more with it – like Access does with the Virus with continuous updates.

So did it revolutionize music tech? To keep things in perspective, lets take a look at Tenori-On vs Monome vs another music technology - euphonium. http://bit.ly/ieN6q4
Is Tenori-on "Remarkable"( by Seth Godin's definition "Remarkable = worth making a remark about")? It's an extremely small sample, but this post and the first two comments indicate that this technology - first demonstrated in 2005 and released in 2007 - is in fact still remarkable.

Did the Tenori-on ever make it out of the bedroom and on to the stage with any iconic artist on a major tour? Bjork "Who Is It" (which charted at number 26 in the UK) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFsHuu0ah_g
Did Jonathon Coulton ever use the Tenori-On to play "My Monkey for Wil Wheaton"? Hell yeah - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK-DOY6Iir0

Interesting that they made this move just after reorganizing stock and getting ownership back from investors.
I now only own Absynth now (which was my first VST way back), I love Brian Clevinger's vision and work. I'm hoping they support Absynth in their new strategy, or work out a way for Brian to continue to develop it.
