Video

😂 Around £300 quid for this toy, no I don't think so. 🫤

Copy that sound into one of your memory slots 🤥 wait a minute, so how do I do that? watch another video I guess? 🥴😱

Excellent, composed by Alistair I guess? 👏👏👏👏

Do you know if it's possible to turn off the Auto vibrato on sounds which don't turn it off when you set it for manual? Also, some sounds like Qudi do weird effects if you blow harder. Can this be edited out? I just want to use it as a type of flute sound without that stuff happening.

I have an Aerophone ae 10 and play at church with the sounds already on the Aerophone but I’ve been looking for an electric guitar that sounds more natural. Do you know where to get a plugin and how to use it on main stage?

I wish these had 5-pin MIDI. That's the only "pro" feature I need...

Do you think that with this Aerophone, I could use it as my first entry level saxophone learning instrument to help me fingering exercise easier by concentrate and develop my fingers? Then later on I can play the real saxophone to develop my voice and embouchure?

Dear Sir, that is the best explanation of this gear! Your pronunciation is Oxford-English, witch is not often able to hear on CZcams. Thank you!

Beautiful sound!❤

Super Alistair - greets from Germany 🇩🇪

Best overview ever. Thanks so much 👍 great Chanel and you invested a lot of work in it.

Isn't there a delay using the app? with bluetooth.

Where can I find out about that pedal ? Thankyou

Alistair is a born teacher

Hi I’ve had my EWI for many years and never felt I was good enough on the instrument so I am enjoying your lessons on the EWI! One thing though I tried your lesson 6 to try and change the FX on sound #2 and the reverb never worked! The delay worked fine, just the reverb never worked. I followed your tutorial over and over but couldn’t get it to work. I did try the over all reverb and that worked fine. Have any suggestions? Thanks, Noel Catura

Thinking about buying EWI 5000. Just saw this video. Thanks for putting out this content!

I have watched many videos about Digital wind instruments and you have an excellent ability to explain and validate the explanation.please keep it going!!! Thanks

Sounds great, awesome playing!

Hey Alistair, thanks for the videos, i now own an Akai Solo EWI... and I watched a video of someone with a wireless mic Velcro strapped to their Akai Solo and has a 1/4 " jack that plugs into the EWI, any suggestions as to where to find one?

Thanks you Alistair for the great video. Is there a way or place that I can download the Parameter Guide for the AE20 my manual does not seem to be clear on the direction ?

Man, u are the best

I think I need to send mine back to Roland for them to look at. I only sporadically get bend up after calibration.

Played sax in highschool - intermediate at best. Keen to revisit Aebersold with something similar I can play silently & learn. The AE-20 sounds perfect. Once the chops/theory are mastered, onto exploring the next gen pro model. So glad I didn't just drop the $$$ for the AE-30. Exceptional job explaining the differences.

Brilliant. Clear, easy to understand, and packed with really useful information. Are you, or have you been, a teacher by any chance? You've certainly got that gift in bucket loads..

Got this instrument off the used market, and I'm glad this tutorial is here for me 14 years later. It's a little special to see your newest video reccomended at the end, showing what you look like now and 14 years ago next to each other. I hope you're doing well

I play the Oboe. I am wondering what you recommend for a "perfect in your opinion" setting for Oboe?

I note that you have a SWAM instrument in your editor. How do you import that type of file? Thank you

Thank you for the in-depth and clear review. The decision is made.

Never have I seen a shop that would allow testing of an EWI. going back to the YX-7.

Hi Alistair, thanks for this great video. I'm a analogue saxophonist,but after playing with some friends and their loop station (via microphone) I would really like to go to the digital saxophone to have a bigger field of electronic possibilities. You made another video about a Bluetooth looper. Could you tell me if it's possible to connect the aerophone 20 to a loop station without Bluetooth? I'm not sure if I understood the function of the aerophone 30s special midi-output. Thanks for your answer - I'll check out your online course when I have my aerophone (20 or 30, we'll see)

I just got my AE-20 but i miss the flexible EWI fingering mode. The AE-20 has its own E-wind mode but it not nearly as flexible. Is there any way to set this up to work like the EWI-mode? Could you speak to Roland about having this mode added for their next firmware update? This needs an algorithmic programmed solution where the 'pinky' keys can modify any of the selected primary notes, rather than keys/notes additions to a look-up table.

Do you have any tips on how to get fluent with the octave keys on the AE-20? I'm gradually getting there but they're not the easiest things to coordinate. I wish they didn't have to be pressed down so far before they make contact!

Nicely explained Alistair

I must admit that I hadn’t explored that particular setting yet but I certainly will now, thanks for posting 😊

I watched but was disappointed that these settings are only described for the higher end aerophone, the info did not relate to my aerophone AE 10. I presume that this setting is not available on my model.

Bedankt

Hello! I just bought an AE-20 and found out that the bite bar can move if you tilt it. Is this normal? I’ve had an Ae-10 up until now and the bar was designed to stay still so i’m kinda confused and afraid it could be broken !

Thank you!

Can’t agree more with you about the external amp/speaker combo! While I have an EWI5000 - I also have an inexpensive asian model (an Irin S56) that I play more than anything else - and while the sounds are punk from the instrument itself… they sound 10x better when played through my Cube or Orange combos. Alternatively - use the midi function and play some softsynths. Must admit - the key mechanism on the aerophone is quite tempting… but not yet….

Can I load presets from Zenology Pro to the AE-20?

Don‘t you have any latency problems with usb-daw? I really have issues in Cubase…

How did U make ( desert wind)

Great video

You have a video on that middle East desert sound you made on the 30 Sounds great

Thanks for the video! I have two questions I haven't been able to solve. 1. I'm putting the Bite Control option in Pit 1; however, this option turns off not only when I turn off the Aerophone but even when I merely change the tone. How can I get the Aerophone to keep the setting modification? 2. What's the difference between the Tenor Sax tone and the Tenor Sax Plus tone? Thanks!

A wonderful performance.

Hi Alistair, I just got an AE-20, I was wondering how you can "bend" down, a smooth bend say a half step or more, rather than a step down, so bending a guitar string rather than fretting a new fret at the equivalent pitch,Ive found presding the thumb buttons is a staggered step sound not a smooth bend,so my settimg must be off. I'm a guitar plater who plays a bit of Irish whistle. I find your videos very inspiring, so much so I bought one, thank you!

Do you know if its possible to disable the 3 knobs on the back of the instrument for midi cc use?

Hello sir! Can I use Ae-01 mini as a midi controller (via usb cable) for using with any DAW like Logic Pro or Ableton?

Alistair, thank you for such a comprehensive review of this instrument. As a sax player I've been researching 'electronic' alternatives to help me practice quietly and having watched this review several times, I have ruled out the Yamaha YDS-150 as I feel this instrument offers so much more versatility. I'd love to know the tune you play at 5:38? Best wishes!
