Perfect For Ensemble Performances With the free Aerophone Go Ensemble App, you can connect up to seven Aerophone Go players to perform together wirelessly. Each performer can choose from 19 sounds on the smartphone, with each musician having a different sound. When performing, the sound is mixed within the smartphone, and by connecting a monitor speaker, everyone can hear the ensemble. The Roland Aerophone Go Ensemble app is perfect for street performances, practice sessions, or classroom learning.
Accurate Breath Control With compatible traditional sax and recorder fingerings, the Aerophone Go is a good way to learn a woodwind instrument.
