Roland Aerophone AE-20 Overview and Sound Examples
Uncompromising musical response and playability.
Roland'sAE-20W Aerophone is a professional wind transducer with saxophone fingering and cutting-edge Zen-Core synthesis. The slimmed-down version of the AE-30 has also been redesigned and developed in collaboration with renowned wind instrumentalists. As a result, sensing and control have been optimized with extremely low latency for uncompromising musical response and playability. In addition, the fingering can be easily adapted to different instruments such as saxophone, clarinet, flute, recorder or a completely individual setup. On top of that, the instrument scores with high-quality materials, an easy-to-read OLED display and is equipped with professional connections.
Roland's leading sound generation
The Roland AE-20W Aerophone's cutting-edge sound generation is based on the ZEN-Core and SuperNATURAL sound engines and allows for deep sound editing. Over 800 acoustic and electronic sounds, ranging from classical to modern to world music, offer something for almost every taste. Wind instruments are covered with soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, clarinet, flute, trumpet shakuhachi flute and bagpipes, among others. Stringed instruments like violin, cello and even an erhu lute can also be found in the sound selection. All sounds can be given delay, chorus, Reverb & multi-effects thanks to the powerful effects processor. Detailed sound changes and the organization of the sounds is conveniently done with the free available Aerophon Pro Editor (iOS & Android) on your smartphone or tablet. The blow converter is playable on up to four parts, which are divided into three parts for instrument sounds and one for percussion. Thus, supported by a DAW, you can record a small arrangement single-handedly and play it back in the AE-20W.
Expressive controller - at home, at Studio and on the road
The AE-20W Aerophone is not only a stand-alone instrument, it also allows you to control external devices via MIDI and USB. Thanks to the blow control, completely new possibilities arise that a keyboard cannot offer. By the way, the AE-20W's audio signal is also transferred losslessly directly to the DAW via USB. Thus, nothing stands in the way of a professional and clean recording. By means of an integrated speaker, headphone jack and battery operation, you can play and practice for yourself and for others at will.
Even better with app!
With the Aerophone Lesson App which is available for iOS and Android, you get access to practice songs and other learning content that is tailored to the handling of the Aerophone and introduces you to the blow transducer both haptically and technically. In addition, Roland offers the equally free Aerophone Pro Editor which gives you access to various menu parameters of the AE-20W, making it even easier to customize the blow transducer to your own needs. Furthermore, sounds and scenes can be conveniently managed and organized with this app.
