Roland Aerophone AE-10 Review

In this Review, I take an in depth look at the Aerophone AE-10. Feel free to comment any questions, and subscribe.

Nice to see a critical review. The other reviewers are so relieved to finally have a wind synth that actually does play like a sax that they don't say much about the negatives. I don't think there'll be an update. Even after 5 years the stores still have plenty of stock and even if they are planning a new one, that stock has to go first or the stores won't order anyway.

I have been playing on mine for years now and I have never encountered any wrist issue. As for the B flat note, I use the side key. No problem.

I'm not sure what this guy is talking about but I love my Aerophone AE-10 and to me it was worth buying it new. Yes, I agree they can make it better but like all new products it will take some time. Until then I'm enjoying all the realistic sounds this instruments creates and I have used it on certain songs doing gigs. I still won't give up my saxophones but this instrument allows me to expand my creativity. It's just a FUN instrument to have and I would recommend this for beginners and professional sax players. Just sayin'

[@mikeellisonhimself]

Tony, have you used yours to send MIDI to a softsynth on a computer? If so, what were the results?

[@jazway27]

That was nice unboxing video. Can’t wait for u to review all its many feature and uses...as a wind controller...Thanks!

[@IsteadAl]

Thanks for the review, I've been thinking about buying one of these for a while. I'll look for a used one.

[@sweetonsax]

I recommend it, then you dont lose any money because you can resell it at pretty much the price you buy it for if you don't like it 😊

Hey, thanks for the review! What was the bluetooth receiver you bought? Would be great to connect wirelessly to my phone. Thanks!

Howdy friend. When you go to tone "P:076" Acoustic Bass...does it sound really low volume or muted compared to the other tones while using the internal speakers? thanks

[@sol19539]

Hey mate, have you played around with any of the other products in this range.. such as the newer version?

[@spaceypirate2055]

Nice

Loo

[@dickcastle]

It actually sounds better than I woulda thought.. still not sure I even see the point.. other than I guess being quiet. But not sure it's worth it.

[@2livenoob]

How long are your fingers cuz it looks like you could palm a regulation size basketball? That's something to consider.

[@googleuser1895]

Can you explain.need more wind compared to acoustic? Or less?

[@pinkypromise111]

I’m trying to learn the sax. Do u recommend this ? Location of keys similar location as on a real sax? Thanks!

[@deirdreryan6147]

He actually starts playing the Aerophone AE-10 very briefly starting at 12:35. You get to hear a few notes from a nice external speaker and then from its little onboard cheeseball speaker.

[@sweetonsax]

I'm guessing you would of preferred this review if I played the aerophone more? Thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated

[@deirdreryan6147]

@@sweetonsax Since you play so very well, it would have been great to feature more of the sounds from the AE-10. Still though, thank you so much taking the time to talk about its features. : )

Hey in the manual, the default master tuning is set to 440.0 Hz. What do you have your Hertz set at?

[@sweetonsax]

I have it set to this Hertz, as this is the standard tuning frequency. My aerophone was 2nd hand and interestingly it was set to another frequency at first.

[@samroller5788]

Sweet On Sax got it! Hey so I went through the whole settings just now to adjust on how I believe Im going to enjoy this thing... I didnt wanna come back here and go back and forth after I went through them all. But there are about 4-5 I have questions about... lol... Octave Key: Im guessing I should just keep that at Octave 1 since those bottom 2 would be more ideal for A and A flat? Or do you have yours on octave 2 or 3. Usertone: do you even use that really? Key Delay: default is 5 but for someone as experienced as you, do you still have it on 5? Finger mode: im going to be primarily playing tenor sax so im guessing SAX1 is ideal as opposed SAX2 (without altissimo) Last question...do you have a simple way of explaining thise multi effects MFX1 and MFX2 issa tad bit confusing.... Hopefully these questions might help others out. Sorry for the amount of ?s as well

[@Mrphilharmonic]

Do you think there will be an update (version 2?) via internet? (or would it have to be physical update as well)

[@sweetonsax]

I cant imagine that there will be an internet update. I don't think Roland will update this for many years, and then it will only be a physical update. I think this is an example of one of Roland's forgotten about products. A product that probably cost a lot of money to make, and one that gives them little financial reward.

[@jerzyboy24music]
