Yamaha LED Music Drawing Tool
This futuristic LED panel from Yamaha is called TENORI-ON and is designed by Japanese media artist Toshio Iwai. The company describes it as a “16×16 LED button matrix performance instrument with a stunning visual display”.

Here’s a video demonstration:
Yamaha TENORI-ON will be available in the UK some time this month.
