- The Aerophone AE-20 delivers the expressive playability of the flagship Aerophone Pro in a more compact and streamlined design. Express yourself with over 250 sounds ranging from lifelike SuperNATURAL acoustic instruments to futuristic ZEN-Core synth tones. The reed-constructed mouthpiece contains built-in breath and bite sensors for vibrato and pitch control, creating a natural playing experience. And with a variety of fingering settings-including sax, clarinet, flute, trumpet, recorder, and more-you can pick it up and start playing immediately.
When you play a digital wind instrument, your practice sessions don’t have to be a performance. Just connect headphones to your Aerophone and start silently jamming, day or night. Lightweight, portable, and battery-powered, you won’t be confined to your home or studio. Go play wherever inspiration takes you. And using the Aerophone Lesson app, you can continue to sharpen your skills to get the most out of your instrument.
In this video, Keith McKelley demonstrates and explains the sound, features, and design details that make the Aerophone an ideal choice for everyone from hobbyist wind players to professional producers.

Dude your grove is perfect. Your feel is right on point. You make music. Between you, Alister P & Better Sax guy, we are well informed and keep the grove.
Sound great🔥! We look forward to getting them in!
The best of whom used this instrument on youtube.
Keith, I was so happy in seen you doing this video for Roland. Way to go brother.
Another great instrument, good job Roland! 😉
I just order an AE-20 from Matt at Patchman Music who did many of the factory presets and helped develop this. Very excited!
Just got mine today (an upgrade to my beloved AE10). Lots to delve into, but first impressions are most impressive, despite some minor teething probs getting used to the new keys/layout, which is to be expected anyway. Really looking forward to diving in - and with the apps also. Lots to explore and enjoy, I am sure... 🎷👍 Thank you Roland!
Thank you, Mr Keith McKelley for your superb presentation. Loving and enJoying it. Cheers!
Keith! A true Aerophone hero.
This instrument is AWESOME 👍👍👍 I has to be my Christmasgift to my self 😉 amazing that this digital/analog (with your breath) can give you this musical adventure...I LOVE IT FOR SHURE
I find that the Roland aerophones are fine if you’re only playing them with the synth tones, but the built-in sounds for acoustic instruments such as violin, trumpet, clarinet etc. leave something to be desired. So, instead of using the built-in sounds, I use my AE-10 as a MIDI controller, connecting it to my iPad with a cable (pretty sure you can use Bluetooth for this with the AE-20). Then on my iPad, I use the apps from a company called Audio Modeling to produce the sound of the instrument. As of a few months ago, they now have apps for every instrument in the orchestra. I use this setup (along with a portable amplifier connected to the iPad) to play bassoon in my local community orchestra and cello with a trio I also play in. The french horn app is also great, and I’m planning to play that as well in a concert band I’m hoping to join in the near future.
I dread the day I see someone standing in for a cellist with a wind controller. It's like people never heard Brecker, or Tavaglione or any of the great EWI players.
@@dynoroad I only play my Aerophone as a cello in a casual piano trio I play in. I would never play the cello in an classsical orchestra for reasons too numerous to mention.
@@xbcrcx Fair enough! :)
What is the hard-wired connector to the iPad?
Except that paying for each swam sound is $24 on IOS, very expensive...
Trumpet and Sarangi sounds just like on the Integra-7, I really like the expression range in sound
Amazing 👏
50 years congratulations
Awesome
Could you please let me know when Roland will be releasing the next arranger keyboards...any news because I love Roland ❤️
Very awesome glad to see new EWI products coming out!
Nothing to do with EWI that´s the other company !!
You’re custom AE-lead is that on the AE-20? Is it a patch you created? Thanks… A very good demo you’re doing THANKS
Hey Keith, the "Full Scale Sax" tone sounds great. Are you doing anything special with that cause mine doesn't sound anything close to yours?
Sick
The Roland Aerophone Pro is the most modern wind instrument, the current superior function and timbre. But Roland invented the ultimate product but lacked video clips for users to use and express ... it is really wasteful because when using AE10 is good, but when using AE30, it does not achieve high efficiency because of the lack of advanced installation sample video clips ... I fall into this category and there are many other users.... I hope Roland soon has more advanced video clips to let users be widely used around the world with Aerophone instruments or how great !!! Thank you Roland !!!
Can someone make a tutorial for people that are not too tech savy? It would help to know what wireless system is the best for the price. Also , how to purchase the best DAW equipment / and any Midi controller (s). Same with best headphones, software. I need to make my purchases count, the first time around. thank you
This instrument is very amazing, but I humorously keep wanting him to perform the Star Wars Cantina song lol.
I have the AE-10. So want either this or the AE-30 too!
I want learn but you recomment Ae30 o pay for real sax?
I want oneeeeee
hello. I am an Aerophone AE-20 user. I was setting up CC controls to assign different functions to the banding keys. I released the button halfway through (maybe CC 21 or 22?). Since then, the display has been scanning scenes non-stop. Even if I turn it off and on, it doesn’t stop scanning and I can‘t do anything anymore. The screen keeps changing, so I can’t enter the menu or do a factory reset. So I tried updating the firmware, but it still doesn‘t stop. Please tell me how to solve it.
If the aerophone 20/30 from Roland, the yds-150 from Yamaha and swam instruments from audio-modeling had a baby, we would have the perfect wind synth😊. Seriously, Roland's sophisticated synth engine, a slightly improved key-layout from Yamaha's yds-150, and the stunning realism of software instruments from audio-modeling are the perfect components for a good wind-synth! Admittedly, as of today's standards the price for such an all-in-one solution would probably be too high for any potential wind-synth customer.😢
dommage de ne pas entendre les son de sax, sont-il mieux que le AE10, alto-soprano-tenor-et bary..???
Anyone know what stands being used ?
all theses years and acoustic instrument still sound like something made in the 80s, with all the quality samples that we can have today I really don't understand how it can still happen now
acoustic instruments should sound relatively similar to each other for thousands of years :p digital tone production has basically infinite permutation but by keeping basic tones relatively similar it allows musicians to have similar starting points between synths; if i wanted to run an aerophone and a key synth through the same tone shaping circuit, having them start from similar sounds is an advantage that i can work out later down the line. kind of like buying a steak from the store, the seasoning and how you cook it is what gives it that personal taste even if every cut of steak starts the same.
i feel ya tho, instruments are def one of those things where an unwillingness to innovate can masquerade behind picky customers who want more of the same
Considering the size of the instrument, this is a great accomplishment considering the size/amount of equipment it took to create/play these samples in real time (in the 80's). I'm impressed...
How do I get my AE-20 to just play notes when I play it harder it wants to lip slur
Super demo of this wonderful instrument.
Can anyone tell me what make (probably Roland) and model is the TOP keyboard in the beginning of this shot?
Looks like roland Jupiter x, i could be wrong though
anybody know if the AE20 the sound of all sax are better to AE10
If I could play like this I'd never take this off.
Supermarket... excuse me what's that?
Me: blasts out a killer tune
If you want to be successful in business of wind controller instrument , YOU NEED TO MAINTAIN REPEAT CUSTOMERS. Add more sound and make lesson app for AE10 now!
Hello, i have an Ae-20. There is an update on system program version 1.22. I downloaded the file but i couldn't update the device because there is a connection problem with usb-computer. Computer can not see the device as driver. Is there anyone who can help this?
With the AE-20 selling for $1000 and the AE-10 for $700 (recently reduced from $880), I l think the AE-10 is is still in the sweet spot of features for the price. It's the model I would recommend to someone buying an EWI for the first time.
Bruh ae-20 isn't even out, how can you compare
@@Mendoksen1 Actually, you have a good point
Roland update for Aerophone AE10 don't let AKAI EWI pass...!!!
Did you say onboard midi?
As a very happy owner of an ae-30 aerophone, today I discovered this brand new ae-20 version, apparently a little less advanced than the ae-30 flagship (for example, disappearance of the very useful button to change the tone on the fly). The only question I ask myself is whether on this version Roland has succeeded in completely eliminating the one and true defect of the aerophones, namely the very unpleasant clicking of the keys which spoils the pleasure of being able to play without an amp?
Yeah they fixed that.
It’s a lot quieter
So I'm guessing i won't need my vl70m with this. And then i remembered I've got somewhere a Yamaha MD-BT01 - Midi Over Bluetooth adapter.
Is the fingering really laid out like a clarinet? Maybe they will have one at guitar center.
A clarinet fingering chart is available in the manual if you would like to check it out! www.roland.com/global/products/aerophone_ae-20/support/
kinda, you only have 2 keys on the right hand (i don't if "keys" is the right word, know how they're called in english lol) so you can hit the E/B key and the F#/C# only with the left hand
I want to use the aerophone as a midi controller to perform, is it possible?
Only the AE 30
No dedicated transpose control on this version?
There and several ways to transpose including assigning the knob on the AE-20 to be a transpose knob if that is what you wish.
can I haz?
If I buy AE-20 will I play like Mr McKellay?
Best comment yet. Keith is my cousin and played at my wedding reception as a surprise 20 years ago. Best wedding gift. He is unbelievable.
Roland PLEASE make Aerophone 20/30 UsBC audio compliant with iPad. It’s 2024 cmon Roland!
Omg
I think I’d rather hear an average player review this. My goodness dude -
new fan here but I
Still don’t know if I need this???
I’m a guitar bass keys player who played sax in 6th & 7th grade
Cool. Will there be a 3 month, no, 6 month, no DUNNO wait on these too, like SP404 MK2? Asking for a friend.
And me.
And the 1000's of others who paid to play 'Guess when you're not getting your product!'
Kind regards.
They are available now. I got mine from Patchman Music in the US. They set it up and updated it for me.
The sounds are nice. The duduk, however, does not sound remotely like the real instrument.
Sounds like a 90s synth. The entire presentation took me back 30 years.
Yes, that the problem. The sounds have the same overall quality - tinny and 'disembodied'. Is this due to the music taste of the manufacturer or is it a technological problem that will be overcome in the future?
Nothing will ever compare to the Saxaboom. Nice attempt though
Go play a gig at Mos Eisley cantina bar why dont you
Can you put this device into a real saxophone and hide an usb-powerbank inside it? Would sell my house for one of these
Pity Roland haven't sorted the sticky octave key 😕
How do you know that? Do you have an AE-20?
They have sorted the problem. Trust me. It is no longer an issue.
Tröööt Tröööööt
Sorry guys, but the woodwinds do not sound any realistic, but that is not the purpose of this instrument, i guess. The other thing is, that l don‘t get why this thing is a thousand dollars.
Wait till you hear the new sounds available on the Roland Cloud. Check them out! Really awesome!
Not even a great saxophonist like you can make this thing sound good, not for me I personally hate the sound, is way too electronic I would’ve wanted to hear a realistic sax or trumpet or flute sound
If the sounds are so great, why are they hiding behind the backing tracks in 95% of the demos??? And where you can hear it, the reverb makes it's impossible to tell if the native sound is good or not. Sorry, I'll need to hear something from an independent reviewer after that mess.
Just like playing keyboard sound. Nothing new
Just like playing keyboard sound.... with a breath controller and completely different fingerings that require completely different technique.... Same thing!
Is it possible to fart in it? And do I need to put mouthpiece inside a little to make any sound? (hope not I'm not gay...)
