Brilliant and yes please - more videos as the manuals are so complicated!

The AE-30 can export/Import user created scenes and the AE-20 can Import user created scenes. The AE-30 Ver.3.00 has ~77 more scenes than the AE-20. Can you export these scenes the AE-30 has into the AE-20?

@unclemick-synths 7 сағат бұрын

The AE-30 can export user scenes so the extra factory scenes would all need to be saved to user scenes to make them exportable. They should be importable but obviously any scenes depending on AE-30 functionality would not fully work on the AE-20.

I’m finding zero straightforward answers to hook up my sq-1 to my korg odyssey and it’s very frustrating. I’m obviously a noob with synths and midi, so it’s mostly on me.

@unclemick-synths 13 күн бұрын

Everyone was a noob at some time. Looking at the Korg manual, I would think that you would connect the SQ-1 CV and Gate outputs to the CV In and the Gate In sockets. I wouldn't connect using MIDI because the SQ-1 MIDI output isn't very flexible. I see Korg also recommend connecting the Gate Out to the Trig In, that could be something to experiment with.

@ I read the manual, go figure. 😆 Yeah it’s making sense now. Voltage controls pitch and gate controls release of pitch. Thanks for the help either way. I just need to make a trip to guitar center and grab some more cables. Thanks again.

I've updated my firmware to version 3.10. I'm currently trying to find a way to reverse that. The breath control is gone. The bite calibration lasts about five minutes before disappearing.

@unclemick-synths 2 ай бұрын

Hi Robert, Some manufacturers keep old versions available so I looked on Roland's website and tried a Google search in case they'd just unlinked the page, but it seems that they take down old versions of the firmware. All I can suggest is to try reinstalling and double-check that you followed all the steps.

Hi Mick, I just subscribed to your KZbin channel. I'm thinking of buying a Roland AE30, but I want to know if you think the AE30 could successfully control my Behringer DeepMind 12 Analog Synth without any latency or mistriggerred notes. What do you think? Also, I'd like to record ideas onto my Zoom R4 MultiTrak Recorder using its Line Level Inputs. Does the Roland AE30 have a Line level output socket? I'd really appreciate your advice regarding these issues. Regards, John Scarratt

@unclemick-synths 3 ай бұрын

Hi John, Yes, there's a 1/4" stereo jack socket for line out. For the DM12, I don't know for certain myself but looking at the DM manual it says it accepts channel aftertouch and CC#2 (breath) so those are positive signs that it should work. On one synth I even used CC#29 (VCF frequency) to give me breath control. I've not had issues with latency or mistriggering with 5-pin MIDI (I don't use the Bluetooth for anything except the app).

does it only tune in semitones?? I was hoping for something closer to the 960 sequencer.

@unclemick-synths 4 ай бұрын

You can set quantization to linear (quantization off), major, minor, or chromatic. The setting of Channel A and Channel B is separate.

@popcycles 4 ай бұрын

@@unclemick-synths But the quantization set to linear does that work for analog synths and midi synths? Or just analog synths?

@unclemick-synths 4 ай бұрын

I don't know whether linear works for MIDI, my gut feeling is it probably quantizes to semitones because MIDI is based on semitones. I only use the SQ-1 for analogue sequencing.

@popcycles 4 ай бұрын

@@unclemick-synths Good to know. It's just when I heard you move the knobs, it sounded like it was stepping through notes, like it was quantized to a semitone.

@unclemick-synths 4 ай бұрын

Yes, I generally have quantize set to chromatic when I'm controlling pitch. If I was controlling a continuous parameter such as filter cutoff, I would switch it to linear.

Something i should have tried instead of resting my thumb on the pickup. But I am too and set in my ways - I'd played root notes with a plectrum until i was mid-forties, before trying the root to fifth country style and the R-3-5-R walk and using fingers a few years later.

I just got the AE30 and there is a spring-loaded cable keeper on the far end. It works perfectly for straight cables, yet perhaps not as effective for the coiled variety. I had already devised measures similar to your helpful suggestion here, before reading the manual and discovering the keeper feature. Just the same, I still employ an elastic or hook-and-loop strap, especially when I’m in DC power mode AND using headphones. Thank you! 🎷😎👍

Great Video!!!!!!!! For traveling: Can you please explain how to use an AE-05 (or AE-30) best with a tablet or pc as a controller? I have failed at this. What if any advantages and what short commings will it have? Do you think I can do bend by lip bite on the AE-05?

@unclemick-synths 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching and commenting. I've never used my AE-30 to control a tablet/pc. Have you checked out Alistair Parnell's iSax channel? He is more likely to have the information you are looking for. There is also an iSax group on Facebook and there's likely to be AE-05 users there who would know more about its capabilities. I'd hate to give you wrong information.

How about a video on how it works as the instructions are useless, I understand what it should be doing but I get no midii response whatsoever, assume folk have never owned a sequencer. I was recommended this and so far it's best use would be strapped to a Christmas tree, cos zero signal flow

@unclemick-synths 5 ай бұрын

I'm a bit confused by your description - are you having problems getting it to respond to MIDI coming into the SQ-1 via the USB connection, or getting it to send MIDI to a synth via it's TRS MIDI out? (It uses TRS MIDI type A)

@GullySyde28 5 ай бұрын

Are you running the out into the midi of the synth? If so the common problem is the midi on the synth is not matching Sq1 midi. Try setting the synth midi to channel 1,Its the problem i had when i first used it about a week ago

@lanphanh 5 ай бұрын

Is there an option to set the midi instruction for the Aerophone to control the other devices? Like I want to setup the AE to send instruction to my Yamaha PSR to play chords or change the registers. Thanks,

@unclemick-synths 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. Yes, it can be set up though the app. I create a custom Scene for each hardware synth. One of my videos covers setting up to control another synth - Playing my Neutron from my wind synth. The AE-30 is monophonic so it doesn't send chords. It does send patch change commands. Other possible MIDI commands are given in the Parameter Guide.

After cleaning the mouthpiece of a Roland Aerophone Pro, it is generally recommended to recalibrate the instrument. This is because cleaning the mouthpiece can slightly alter its position or the pressure sensors' sensitivity, which can affect the instrument's response.

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. A good reminder for those who use the calibration.

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

@unclemick-synths 8 ай бұрын

Hi there, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Unfortunately the only thing I know about the oboe is that it's a double-reed instrument. The AE has alternative fingerings that you could customize. Which would be closest to the oboe; recorder, flute, or clarinet? If you're not already a member, I thoroughly recommend joining the iSax group on Facebook because there are some very knowledgeable people there (including classical musicians) who might be able to give you better guidance because I've always stayed with sax fingering.

Please make more videos, you make it so easy to understand this wonderful but uncharted instrument. Roland should have hired you from day one of the release of the AE-30. All the best!!!

Really appreciate the deep dives on both vibrato and motion controls. This gives me lots on new ideas to try out. Please keep these videos coming. There is no one else I know that is making content like this: slow, detailed examinations of the finer details of the Aerophone.

@unclemick-synths 11 ай бұрын

Thanks again! I'm researching the next video - next up is on the Parts "layer". I thought it would be an easy one but there are many possibilities for layering, cross-fading etc.

@adamofathens 11 ай бұрын

Wow yeah that's what I'm working on now: trying to use the 4 different "partials" or layers and crossfading between them to emulate guitar techniques like palm muting and pinch harmonics. Hopefully the end result is that I can play a regular note on my AE-30 and hit the palm keys to quickly crossfade to sounds that will emulate these guitar techniques. @@unclemick-synths

Thanks! Your explanation of the effects is really helpful. I have not ever thought of using them in this way. This will really help me as I am designing a number of sounds on my AE-30 too. I will definitely give these effects a try as they seem to add something I've been missing in my own sound designs.

Thanks for making this. The pacing is slower than the usual KZbin video, and that's a refreshing change. I liked being able to slow down and hear about your thought processes on sound design. Cheers! AE-30 player/synthesist from Georgia, USA.

There are a lot of things that get forgotten. I found Lewisohn's book on the Beatles sessions eye-opening because to them a four track recorder was four times as good as a mono tape deck so they applied "direct to mono" recording techniques to each tape track. However, me being influenced by over-dubbers like Mike-Oldfield and Jean-Michel Jarre, I viewed my four track recorder as a mere quarter of a 16 track recorder. A very different perspective!

Thanks for the detailed look at this accompanying app! Do you need to plug the aerophone to you phone in order to make scenes and change things so you can test in real time? Or are you doing all of this with Bluetooth connection?
