General installation instructions

Each release is provided as a zipped “.tup” file, to be loaded into the Tenori-On in the same way as you loaded v2.10.

That is :

  1. Unpack the .zip file and copy the .tup to the TENORI-ON folder on your SD card.
  2. Insert the SD card into your TENORI-ON. Turn the TENORI-ON while pressing [OK] and [CANCEL] simultaneously.
    • After a short time, the firmware data list is displayed.
  3. Use the jog dial to select the firmware data to install, and then push the OK button.
  4. Press the OK button again when the “Start Update ?” query appears.
    • The update will start after about 20 seconds. The update process takes about 90 seconds in total.
    • Depending on SD card type, more time may be required.
  5. When installation is complete, switch the TENORI-ON off, then on again.

    The following then differs from the standard approach, because expected locations for things have moved around a bit.

  6. If the system hangs on startup (i.e. never moves on from the title screen), then you will need to do a TEST MODE Factory reset. This will remove any loaded samples and reset back to “normal” rather than “advanced” mode, but it is easy to put these back.

    • Turn off, then turn on while holding [L1] and [CLEAR]. The text “Test Mode” and “TEST” will appear
    • Use the rotary dial to change “TEST” to “047 Factory Set”. Press OK
    • Wait until the “–” has changed to “End”. Then turn off and turn on.
  7. If the system didn’t hang on startup, it is recommended to perform the “normal” factory reset, which is the same, but retains the user loaded samples. Use the System Menu to perform a Factory Reset. After this you will need to restore the normal Tenori-on advance mode ([L1] + [L5] on startup).

Note that, while I try to retain as much backward compatibility as possible, some releases will not play songs/layers/blocks from earlier releases (or the 2.10 release) correctly, since certain settings have changed.

Liability Waiver !

Please note that while these images work on my Tenori-on, I hold no liability for any damage they may cause to yours!


Contributors

Several people have contributed ideas for new features; ideas are always welcome. The queue for implementation is quite long, so please be patient!

The barrier to contributing code is quite high - you need a good working knowledge of assembly language - nevertheless, some users are managing to contibute code! Many thanks!

List of closed bugs

ID Issue Appears in Fix status
001 Save As (Save as default, save as alarm, save as time signal) fails for settings - saved settings are not used. A008-A013 Fixed in A014 and later
002 In score modes, changing blocks to block N results in notes playing that are a mixture of blocks N and N+1 A015-A016 Fixed in A017
003 Using the block change meta controller, the LED display of the loop points doesn’t update, so that L4 shows loop points that are “off screen” A017-A018 Fixed in A019
004 Using the rotary dial to modify the loop points while [L4] is pressed causes the TNR to reboot A013-A024 Fixed in A025
005 Saving + loading blocks and songs with the new layer settings does not preserve the new settings A013-A018 Fixed in A019
006 Release A019 broke the recorder from A018 ! A019 Fixed in A021
007 Midi recorder timing (i.e. grid position) in score mode incorrect A018, A021-A024 Fixed in A025
008 Similar to 003, off-screen loop display in score-256 “leaks” into current display when function keys are used A021 Fixed in A022
009 Layer 16 has “ghost” notes in block 1 when block is playing off-screen A013-A021 Fixed in A022
010 Setting layer volume with [R4] results in some LEDs dimly lit incorrectly (visual effect only) A016-A023 Closed in A024
011 Master Scale menu range does not include all user defined scales A022 Closed in A024
012 Launching master loop point from score256 when loop points are offscreen leaks LED state (similar to 003, 008) A022 Closed in A027
013 Score256: If loop end is block 16, position16, loop start is ignored A026 Fixed in A027
014 Score256: Block copy confuses off-screen display of loop points A026 Fixed in A028
015 Score256: Splits are not correctly timed for off-screen blocks A026 Fixed in A027
016 Quick copy: type not forced when all blocks chosen. A027 Fixed in A028
017 Reset loop position (L1+R4) leads to timing error with meta controllers A026 Fixed in A028
018 Clear with a Send meta clears all layers rather than just the target A030 Fixed in A031

020 Setting splits broken in A031 A031 Fixed in A032
021 Start/stop MIDI transport not working A028 Fixed in A033
