Product Information:
All-new digital wind instrument with traditional sax fingering and
flexible onboard sounds
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. Seasoned players
will feel instantly at home with the familiar saxophone fingering
system, responsive SuperNATURAL sounds, and a breath sensor that
reacts like your favorite acoustic horn. The large sound selection
faithfully recreates saxophone models from soprano to baritone, plus
wind instruments like clarinet and trumpet, string instruments, and
even synths. With built-in speakers, battery power capability, and
DAW connectivity, the Roland Aerophone AE-10 is the versatile,
play-anywhere choice that supports you in every musical scenario.
