Offering a flagship performance, the Roland Aerophone AE-20 provides the essence of Roland's top-of-the-line wind instrument, with more efficient and simplified construction.
It employs two exceptional sound engines, SuperNATURAL and Zen-Core, which enable the Aerophone to produce an extensive variety of acoustic and electronic sounds at the user's disposal. Offering superior play ability courtesy of the breath and bite sensors with minimal delay, the AE-20 has the user-friendly keywork that can be customized to match saxophone, clarinet, flute, recorder, or brass fingerings, ensuring that it is suitable for players with diverse backgrounds.
Enabling users to perform wherever they desire, the built-in speaker and battery-powered operation open up a vast array of choices when it comes to where to perform next. Alternatively, the AE-20W can be easily plugged straight into PA Systems for effortless stage performances, making it the perfect choice for any avid woodwind player.
Key Features:
Suitable for Everyone - Featuring a reed-style mouthpiece, experienced woodwind players will feel familiar instantly, whereas its rapid response and natural vibrato control also makes it incredibly accessible for beginners too.
Vast Array of Sounds - By utilizing Roland's SuperNATURAL sound engine, the AE-20 is able to produce remarkable acoustic sounds including Alto, Tenor, and Baritone saxophones, as well as flute, trumpet, and clarinet, and even world instruments such as the shakuhachi or bagpipes. The SuperNATURAL technology creates an ultra-realistic sound with precise overtones, articulations, and dynamics, which are carefully derived from the input provided.
Ideal for Live Music - The AE-20 is well-suited for live performances and can be directly connected to amps or PA systems. For private practice, you can easily plug in headphones and take the Aerophone anywhere as it has a battery life of approximately six hours of continuous use. Additionally, you can connect the Aerophone to a computer and use its MIDI data output to control various software instruments, providing limitless creative possibilities.
Compose and Learn - Roland's Aerophone Lesson and Aerophone Pro Editor apps help you master your instrument. Aerophone Lesson is perfect for beginners and provides Bluetooth audio streaming for lesson play-alongs. Meanwhile, Aerophone Pro Editor lets you fine-tune your unique tones and layered sounds.
