Score Mode
The Score Mode is assigned to TENORI-ON layers 1 — 7.
The Score Mode is selected by default when the power is turned on.
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 "loop indicator" (four lit LED buttons in a vertical column) proceeds from left to right, and
active notes will play when the loop indicator passes over them. Light animation will also
occur for each note played. The loop indicator will loop back to the beginning once the right
edge of the matrix is reached.
Press the [OK] button while the highlighted "STOP" indicator in the lower right corner of the
LCD display is shown to temporarily pause loop playback. The loop indicator will stop at the
position at which the [OK] button is pressed. Press the [OK] button a second time and loop
playback will resume from the point at which it was paused. You can change the point from
which playback will resume by moving the paused loop indicator to the desired position
(press an LED button at the desired start position).

The horizontal axis corresponds to time and the vertical axis corresponds to the pitch of the
notes played. The factory default scale for the vertical axis is an ionian scale, corresponding
to the white keys on a piano.

Selecting a scale other than the ionian scale. (Master Scale Page 44)
Changing octaves. (Octave Page 26)
If a drum voice is selected each note on the vertical axis does not correspond to a different
pitch in the scale, but rather to a different instrument in the drum "kit." See "Voices" on
Page 6.
Press an LED button briefly to play the sound assigned to it. If you hold the LED button a bit
longer it will remain lit and will become an active note. Press and hold an active note to de-
activate it (the LED button will go out).
