The Roland Aerophone AE-20 is an ex-demo digital wind instrument that offers the experience of Roland’s flagship wind instrument in a streamlined design. It has been quality checked by repair technicians to ensure high playing standards. However, promotional materials, offers, software, or subscriptions that are available when purchased new may not be available with this ex-demo product.
The Aerophone AE-20 utilizes two sound engines – SuperNATURAL and Zen-Core – to deliver a wide range of acoustic and electronic sounds. It features low-latency breath and bite sensors for excellent playability. The comfortable keywork can be programmed to play with saxophone, clarinet, flute, recorder, or brass fingerings, making it suitable for players of different backgrounds.
You can play the Aerophone anywhere with its built-in speaker and battery-powered operation. It can also be plugged into a PA system for stage performances. Additionally, the instrument has a USB-MIDI connection for use in the studio. There are also mobile apps available to enhance the capabilities of the Aerophone, including an app for sound fine-tuning (Aerophone Pro Editor) and a learning app (Aerophone Lesson) that offers an interactive teaching experience through Bluetooth connectivity.
The Aerophone’s reed-style mouthpiece is familiar to experienced woodwind players and easy for beginners to use. The breath and bite sensors are highly sensitive and customizable, as is the fingering setup. With a seven-octave range and transposition options, it’s easy to play along to any music.
The AE-20 uses Roland’s SuperNATURAL sound engine to deliver realistic acoustic sounds, including saxophones, flute, trumpet, clarinet, and world instruments. It also features the ZEN-Core Synthesis System for classic analog synth sounds and modern digital voices. With over 260 preset voices curated for wind-style dynamics and articulations, the possibilities for creativity are endless.
The instrument is perfect for live performances, as it can be directly plugged into amps or PA systems. It can also be used for private practice with headphones, thanks to its battery power that provides approximately six hours of continuous use. The Aerophone can even be connected to a computer to control software instruments using its MIDI data output.
Roland’s Aerophone Lesson and Aerophone Pro Editor apps are available to help players master their instrument and customize their own tones and layered sounds. Aerophone Lesson offers guidance for beginners, while Aerophone Pro Editor allows for in-depth sound fine-tuning. The AE-20 features various controllers and connectors, including a breath sensor, bite sensor, performance keys, octave keys, and more. It also comes with accessories such as an owner’s manual, AC adapter, mouthpiece cap, and USB cable.
