The latest update to Yamaha’s TNR-i – initially released to some territories in mid-December – is now available worldwide. Version 1.3 includes the ability to record and edit (trim, normalize) samples for use in TNR-i, AudioCopy, SoundCloud sharing, and support for Wireless Sync-Start Technology (WIST).

The iOS version of the world-renowned TENORI-ON brings you a completely new musical interface. Even if you don’t know much about music, you can create music intuitively as if you were arranging sounds in space. The music that you see on the 16 × 16 grid of buttons is the music that is performed.

While I must admit it’s cool to see this become a more useful app with the addition of recording, AudioCopy and WIST (albeit 2 weeks behind the rest of the world), the thought that came to mind as my finger was finally hovering over the buy button was: is this really worth $20? For the same price, I could buy Brainwave Sequencer or FL Studio. If I’m willing to move beyond the $10 price point, why not throw in $10 more and get the TC-11? Or I could save $5 and pick up Electrify, even more if I “settle” for StepPolyArp.
I’m not playing favorites, just reading from my wish list. Some of the apps I mentioned may not serve the same function as the TNR-i, but they’re all high quality apps. So, if any other readers do buy it or already own it, I’d value your opinions on whether it’s worth the price, compared to other apps in the same price range.
