As far as trippy, strobby, just plain kooky music making gear goes, there are few as out there as the Tenori-On. But nonetheless we’d love to own one. Flaming Mitten Studios in the UK must feel the same way, as they’ve released an iPad-based homage to the Tenori-On, in TonePad HD.

Anyone can make beautiful music on your iPad with Tone Pads – HD

Simply run your fingers across the screen to turn the pads on or off, and listen to the sounds you have just created.

The simple and cool, Tenori-On style interface, allows anyone to make music in seconds.

There are 5 different instruments to choose from by taping the numbered buttons at the bottom of the screen.

We hope you enjoy making sweet music with Tone Pads – HD
