Roland Aerophone AE-10 Digital Wind Instrument creates a Realistic Playing Experience
In the studio and on stage, your trusty acoustic sax is always by your side. But if you work across a
range of musical genres, imagine how useful it would be to own a single wind instrument that
delivers every sound that’s required. The Roland Aerophone AE-10 is a trailblazing digital wind
instrument that fuses traditional sax fingering with the flexible onboard tones you need.
Its responsive SuperNATURAL sounds and a sensitive mouthpiece-mounted breath sensor replicates the
acoustic playing experience and enables complete control over nuance and dynamics along with
expressive elements like vibrato and pitch.
It provides a variety of additional acoustic instrument sounds like clarinet, flute, oboe, trumpet
and violin along with others and efficiently matches the behavior of the originals. After trying the
individual sounds, it also gives an option to create one-man ensembles by layering multiple wind
instrument sounds with the Brass Section setting.
The AE-10 is versatile with built-in speakers, battery power and DAW connectivity. The six AA batteries
provide mobile power and its onboard monitor speakers deliver comfortable sound for intimate
performing situations. It can be directly connected to a PA or an amplifier for broader coverage
eliminating the need to use a mic.
When there is a need to cover larger instruments like tuba and bassoon, the battery-powered Roland
CUBE Street EX is a great option that delivers massive sound in a portable package. It can also be
connected to smartphone via the Aerophone AE-10’s stereo mini jack and jam; also provides an option
to perform anywhere with the headphones option.
