With its streamlined design, new
controllers, and an advanced
dual-core sound engine, the
Aerophone Pro is Roland's most
expressive and inspiring wind
instrument yet.
First off, it has a sleek new
design with metallic accents.
It also has the familiar key layout
of an acoustic sax, complete
with palm keys and even a high-F#
key.
It's also outfitted with an OLED
screen for easy navigation.
It has a super-responsive breath
and bite sensor with assignable
buttons, which can be customized
for harmony, vibrato, growl,
and more.
The Aerophone Pro has two of
Roland's most advanced sound
engines. The SuperNATURAL engine
makes it possible for lifelike
acoustic wind, brass, and string
instruments with control of subtle
dynamics, articulations,
and overtones.
The second engine is the ZEN-Core
Synthesis System that
powers our flagship synths like
FANTOM and JUPITER-X
for classic and modern synthesizer
tones that are second to none.
The ZEN-Core sound engine now found
in the Aerophone Pro features our
world-class synthesizer sounds
from great leads, ethnic instruments
to percussion.
There are over three hundred sounds
in the AE-30, making it versatile
for any kind of music.
You can also get polyphonic or
ensemble sounds with new drone
and harmony features. What
you're about to hear is not
playback.
I've assigned the back buttons to
sustain, portamento, and harmony
while layering a lead over top of
it.
Editing and managing your sounds has
never been easier with the Aerophone
editor app that wirelessly connects
via Bluetooth. You can create
an endless variety of custom tones,
effects, and settings.
The Aerophone Pro includes all
the needed audio connections for
stage performances, studio
recordings, casual playing,
or practicing.
It has a quarter-inch stereo audio
output to connect to professional
gear, including wireless packs,
mixers, audio interfaces,
and full-sized MIDI ports
to connect to external synth
modules.
The convenient USB audio/MIDI
easily integrates with your computer
for recording or for software
synthesizers.
Bluetooth MIDI wirelessly connects
to computer, iPad, and
other mobile devices.
You can also stream your favorite
music or videos into the AE-30
via Bluetooth audio.
It's got a headphone jack, built-in
speakers, and is battery-powered
so you can play any time you want.
It also comes with a durable and
portable custom soft case
for easy traveling and staging.
The Aerophone Pro, with its light,
portable, and sleek design featuring
Roland's most advanced sound engines
like the SuperNATURAL and ZEN-Core,
is Roland's most expressive and
inspiring wind instrument yet.
