Rich expressiveness in streamlined design.
The new standard for aerophones.

The Aerophone AE -20 is a standard model of an aerophone that retains the playability and expressiveness of the flagship Aerophone Pro while being more compact and casual. This innovative digital wind instrument features a richly expressive sound with attention to detail. This is one that will take you on a musical journey, where you can enjoy wind instruments in a creative way.

■The new standard for aerophones
The Aerophone AE -20 was created with artists working on wind synthesizers. A digital wind instrument that enables uncompromising musical expression. Taking over the sound and expressiveness of the flagship Aerophone Pro, the Aerophone's appeal is compactly condensed. It has realistic sound and high usability, a key touch that reflects the player's opinion, great playability, and a design that can be carried anywhere.

■Variety of instrumental sounds played with fingertips
As soon as you pick it up, the Aerophone AE -20 can play a wide variety of instrument sounds. From woodwind, brass, and string instruments to the latest synthesizer sounds, you can blow through them with a single timbre switch and get real, good sound. It works with all musical styles.

■SuperNATURAL Acoustic
The Aerophone AE -20 brings the world of true acoustic instrument sound to life with your hands. In addition to soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone, you can play woodwind/brass instruments such as flutes, clarinets, and trumpets instantly. It also contains string instruments such as violins and cello, and folk instruments such as erhu, shakuhachi and bagpipes. SuperNATURAL technology controls subtle nuances while recreating realistic dynamics, articulations, and even overtones.

■The World of ZEN-Core
It uses the ZEN-Core Synthesis System, an advanced sound engine found in synthesizers such as FANTOM and JUPITER-X. Its versatility is even greater. From traditional analog synthesizers to modern digital synthesizers, you can take advantage of the articulation and dynamic range of wind instruments to enjoy a curated selection of tones.

■Leave yourself to the music
One of the hallmarks of an aerophone is a bite/breath sensor on a mouthpiece that resembles a woodwind reed. The sensor controls can be customized to delicate sensitivities, so enjoy natural pitch control, vibrato, and more. You can also choose from saxophone, recorder, clarinet, flute, etc., and register your favorite fingering. At the touch of a button, it can be transposed according to the instrument, and can play up to seven octaves above the range of conventional acoustic instruments. Expand your musical range with an aerophone that covers all musical styles.

■Music anytime, anywhere.
Aerophones are musical instruments that can be used in a variety of music scenes. Play with built-in speakers or practice with headphones while being considerate of others. You can even play loud if you connect it to an amplifier or PA device. It also supports USB MIDI, so you can use it as a powerful controller for creating music with your favorite apps.

■Practicing is fun
The original free app, Aerophone Lesson, allows first-timers without wind instrument experience to immediately try playing an aerophone. Watch tutorial videos to learn everything from how to hold an aerophone to how to hold a mouthpiece. There is also content that you can enjoy while improving, such as checking fingering and the ability to score by playing practice songs. The Bluetooth audio feature also lets you play music from your mobile device on an aerophone. You can enjoy playing along with your favorite music, playing along with online lesson videos, and practice with fun.

■Personalize your instrument
Aerophone Pro Editor is also a free original app for the Aerophone AE -20. It allows for deep sound and performance customization, and brings out the full potential of the aerophone. You can create original tones and layered sounds, register them as scenes, and recall them with a single touch. You can assign a variety of parameters for deeper expression, or save groups of tone scenes to your mobile device or favorite storage.

■Go even further with Roland Cloud.
