Thanks so much for this effort. I just sold my EWI USB and WX-11 to fund this (but still hanging on to the WX-7s until I get it.) It'll be nice to have internal sounds like the EWI and not have to lug TOO much equipment around to a gig. Your videos will help us all to get up to speed more quickly out of the box. Very much appreciated.

Great demo!! I think the finger assign function for harmonics/altissimo may have officially sold me on it! I just wish it was slightly less expensive, more like the $599 range haha.

Thanks for the great video. I have an EWI 5000 for a half a year now and I use the EVI fingering. Is it also possible to use the EVI fingering on the Roland Aerophone?

Great video clip, Alistair, thank you very much. Most informative, engaging, and thoroughly convincing! *hits the Subscribe button* As a budding synth enthusiast (synthusiast?), and as someone who had a go at learning the saxophone (Alto) for a few months before shelving the instrument to gather dust for 20 years, the AE-10 looks to be the perfect instrument for me. Finally, I can get back to re-learning the sax without worrying about disturbing my neighbours! :-) I think I'm going to find it somewhat difficult to resist the temptation to buy an AE-10, despite the price tag. Looking forward to watching other videos from you in the future.

Hi Alistair - I have an AE-10, and to get the sax "growl " I need to push the thumb joystick to the left... but this is very clumsy for me to hold it in that position while I play a longer passage... can you tell me if there is a way to get this effect using a footswitch controller, or just change the parameter to have it on all the time (and assign to a specific User voice)? Thank you - I can't seem to find this answer anywhere...

I also meant to ask: How is the AE-10 set up to deal with the build-up of breath moisture inside the instrument, and indeed how straightforward is the removal/dispersal of the same, as compared with a normal saxophone instrument?

another thing i thought of is that it would be nice to have adjustable reed pitchbend curve and center width. i even have some specific curves mapped out in pbcurve by insert piz here software that mimic sax and trumpet behaviors that are pretty fun.

Hi there Alastair. As others have said, your demos are easily the best thus far for the AE-10. Now that the CC02 issue is being sorted, any chance of asking Roland to produce a black model and incorporate standard MIDI Out? USB MIDI really limits the connectivity options.
@45zapatero8 жыл бұрын
Gary Mulholland If this device is class compliant (not needing a driver) there might be already solution. Mode machines have a device that transmits usb midi to din midi (classic midi port) without a pc. So you can connect directly to a midi in pory of a soundmodule.

I am a hobby musician ( guitar player and a little piano) with no experience in wind instruments. But I am tempted to learn in order to make some recordings ( also hobby) with more "credible" wind instrument parts. Can I learn to play this instrument as an instrument as it is ( not as a replacement for a real sax in the late hours). Would this be worth the effort ?If i buy a beginner sax course book/dvd would this be a good start. Or are there too many differences between a sax and this roland device ?

@alphabeets8 жыл бұрын
Alistair, regarding the programmable fingering, if a fingering is already recognized, i.e. It is a standard fingering, is it possible to overwrite it? If all fingering combinations can be overwritten then it would be possible to turn this instrument into a brass controller or flute or oboe etc... This would be an incredible feature which would open up many more possible markets including even keyboard players!

Hi Alistair, I am a student saxophonist and was wondering if you would consider this a useful silent practice tool? Or do you think it might allow a student to "get away" with incorrect technique? I practice as often as I can but am limited by my living arrangements.... A silent alternative would be great! Thank you for taking the time to produce all of these videos (and your older Ewi lessons as well!)

Thanks very much for the reply Alistair! I guess the best course of action for me is to wait a few weeks until they stay arriving in stores. By the sounds of it though, it seems as though I might be best sticking to a real sax until I'm a little more developed. Thanks again for the reply!

Is the AE-10 feel authentic enough for a beginner to learn on? Obviously, a real sax will feel (and sound) different - but is the finger-work and breath resistance close enough, that it wouldn't be a terrible option to learn on ... ?! Thanks. :)

thank you so much for this and all your EWI videos! (i bought the EWI 5000 after listening to them). it seems that the roland is specifically for saxophone players, unlike the EWI, which is a much more generic instrument. unfortunately, the EWI has proved to be very unreliable - i'm onto the 2nd fix and still having problems! (i only played out once & embarrassingly it misbehaved!) the one thing i really like the look of on the roland, is the thumb-rest; i nearly lost the EWI while playing out & standing up, when i had few fingers on! i do love my EWI for playing in the house & on my balcony with headphones! i look forward to future videos of the roland, (which is a bit of an ugly brute!!) and to hearing the sounds!
