Sample Modeling Trumpet and Roland Aerophone Set Up

[@KalakutaShow1976]

Mr. Parnell. I just recently bought a Aerophone AE-10 because of your videos (I was inspired). Your level of knowledge and attention to details when explaining how to use this equipment is greatly appreciated. I actually study your videos..you're a great Aerophone instructor. Thank you!:)

[@richardbates2825]

I’ve really come to appreciate what a great musician you are as well as an excellent teacher

[@JCPB1]

"My One And Only Love" - Holy smokes! Up until now I've been so impressed with your teaching skills, your clarity and enunciation but I really marvel at how you have made this trumpet sound so realistic! Bravo!!!

[@isax.academy]

That’s very kind. So glad you enjoyed it. One of my favourite tunes.

[@jabs4real]

Never heard this one before. It's overwhelmingly beautiful. Really good job playing it.

[@anthonywarren729]

Alistair certainly makes it all sound easy but it is not at all. His lessons on the Roland are the best around . Thanks.

[@DrDaab]

Great ! Thanks again for another excellent, detailed description of how to get more, from the Samplemodeling Trumpets

[@paulfairchild3461]

Grabbing all the info i can lay my hands on about the electronic Saxaphone’s as its still in its infancy, much to be learned but making good progress after a week of my new Roland AE10 .time fly’s by .

[@abz124816]

What a superb musician you are on acoustic instruments !!! You also have a very impressive understanding of how to use electronics to mimic acoustics, To do that, Roland basically designed a saxophone and added several physical keys to this new instrument. This enables a good musician to imitate analog instruments. Additionally Roland added a whole new world of sound colors and expressions ... and the ability to play chords on a traditionally single melody instrument... incredible... and this is just the beginning. To the purist, the electronic sounds are somewhat close, but no bananas. However, this Roland instrument was singing in your hands. To the younger, less purist population, these new sounds are just an an addition to, rather than an imitation of, the vast library of acoustic sounds already in existence ... And new electronic sounds are being created as we speak. I think that at some point in the future, electronic instruments will replace the acoustic ones. How many people today have heard of a sackbut (predecessor of the trombone) or Viol da Gamba? (Cello like). Yeah... people still play them ... but... so what? ... Usually in somebody's parlor or basement :) These and many others, were the musical equivalent of a FORD Mode T. Sometimes they still run in parades :) It is hard to for me though, to imagine a saxophone or a trumpet etc. etc. going that route in the future. But, the future is a merciless force. !!! Bravo to Roland and to you !!!

[@danball4410]

Alistair, thank you as always for your great wind controller demos. You got me started on an EWI400S years ago. Your tutorials were so important. In this video your strong recommendation for the Sample Modeling Trumpet 3 has convinced me to buy it. I have their SWAM saxophone packages (now sold by Audio Modeling) and it is fantastic in every way.

[@isax.academy]

+Dan Ball Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know. Glad it’s all going well.

[@harrybuedel2112]

Very helpful and beautiful closing performance!

[@MrDredward]

I thank you good making those videos to enlighten us beginners to appreciate the lovely Down Aerophone ae10G. I hope you can explain and show also how to use the 100 initial tones what they are for and how to use them.

[@isax.academy]

Think of the Initial tones as memory spaces. You can select a Preset sound and save it to the User memory - the initial tones. Also if you make changes to any Preset sound you can save them to the User memory. Select and/or edit a sound. Press and hold the menu key Follow the instructions on the screen to save to a User Memory (Initial tone). Hope that helps.

[@saxartist7]

Another great video. Can't wait to see your video on your Mainstage / Kontakt setup. That's one of the biggest learning curves for windsynth players who want to expand their sound base through a computer setup.

[@rodolfoferreira]

Fantastic video and marvelous performance!! Looking forward to the sax brothers version!

[@edrock26]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you, for the awesome details, explanations, and graphics!

[@grahamcmusic]

Wow I used to play the trumpet in the school orchestra Uncanny likeness o a real trumpet and so skilfully played

[@NiceGalNice]

Beautiful sound. Beautiful playing

[@kickbiker7920]

Just come across your channel Alistair. Just awesome. Patiently explained. Wonderful stuff! Worth a subscription

[@davidkelly1220]

Another excellent video. Well done, you have convinced me to buy one.

[@KingstonTownUb40Show]

Great info again Alistair, thank you , looking forward to the MainStage setup video :-)

[@fredericpariset1246]

Thanks a lot for these videos looking forward to see the video on Mainstage Settings

[@isax.academy]

It’s on the todo list. 😊

[@JamalCorrie]

I'm going to spend all my money with these samples

[@kentvolgamore4977]

Awesome video..loved the trumpet melody...

[@dwightflowers8105]

Hi love your teachings your a real good teacher, do you a saxophone beginners courses?

[@PatchmanMusic]

Well done, Alistair.

[@karenventress6956]

Alistair you are awesome. I wish you could help me set my Aerophone up for me, for getting some of those beautiful sounds. Thank you.

[@isax.academy]

Thanks for watching.

Sounds great coming from computer. Will swam instruments be coming to ipads?

[@saxman3336]

Very helpful, Allistar

[@grmusicnyc]

Great vid! I'm getting it today! You should try to get an affiliate link from them to make a cut if a sale happens after watching this ;) Thanks!

[@pddr.magnusbaumhakel6969]

Great Performance, as you did in the other videos. I own an AE-10 as well as the sample modeling trumpet, but I´m still sticking with the sound of the trumpet. Could you please provide an information about the presets in the kontakt player? Do you use additional EQ or saturation before the reverb?

[@user-sh4tn7iv9f]

Hi Alistair, Love these tutorials. My aerophone pro should be here in about a week! Wondering if it’s possible to combine preset sounds from within the settings on the controller itself, without linking to outboard programming . . . then be able to hit them on the fly? Thanks

[@isax.academy]

Hi. I think you can only combine sounds in the app at this stage. Those combinations along with all setting can of course be saved onto the Aerophone in a USER memory. It works very well.

[@SergeyGorun]

Great Tutor! Amazing Sound!!!

[@isax.academy]

Thanks

[@michellemerchan7252]

If I'm not able to get the sample sounds, how can I get my aerophone to still sound that good? God bless you ❤

[@lillieharris2166]

the AE30 uses a different editor, could you explain the same trumpet setup for the AE30? Thanx

[@alainhalimi3821]

hi, did you try to get the ROLI app to work with the aerophone? It would open a whole new perspective for the device!!! if you do please post a video about that, that would definately convince me to invest...

[@georgechiukaraoke8278]

Dear Mr. Parnell: Could you tell me how you control vibrato ? There are 4 settings for bite control in the latest version : (1) OFF; (2) SAX; (3)EWIND; & (4) AUTO. Which one you select ? Thank you.

[@wtmqwq]

I think it doesn't matter if you are using an external synth. External synths only care about the "BiteOut" setting which affects midi events sent according to the bite sensor

[@georgechiukaraoke8278]

@@wtmqwq Thank you.

[@TheGosteen]

Hi there, could you explain how to configure the plugin ? I managed to make it work but my sound is flat and the vibrato, expressivity is not there. I think I forgot to configure something within the plugin... What are your settings ? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks !

[@danieleeugeniolucchetta9053]

oh oh… it looks Amazing!!! Is there anything similar for saxophones?

[@pmwizard48]

In your opnion, are the supplied Roland patches on the ae-10 good enough to use in a live performance, or do you need to buy additional software for a more realistic sound?

[@tenorone1]

Wonderful videos Alistair but I'm a bit confused. I have the aerophone and the app but i can't source the cable. I need an iPhone cable with a printer connection on the end of it not a usb connection yes?

[@isax.academy]

You really need a lightning to USB camera adapter. Avoid the cheap ones they don’t always work. Apple make the original one. Then you need a usb to printer cable. Lightning to USB Camera Adapter store.apple.com/uk/xc/product/MD821ZM/A

[@tenorone1]

@@isax.academy Thank you Alistair.

[@tperry5839]

Great job

[@musella974]

Well, what do you really think about the Roland Aerophone AE10 ? Is it so precise than the Akai EWI 4000S ? I've heard that AE10 less playable than 4000S ! If I ask this question is because I plan to buy one but I cannot try it before because I live in a little french island lost in the Indian Ocean (Reunion Island). So, the only way is to inform me by taking many and many informations. Thanks a lot for your opinion.

[@glitchgatsby4290]

So, if I'm making samples of my own from scratch, say in FM8, can I play those sounds on the instrument?

[@JurySman]

Hello! I got Aerophone AE-10 version 3.11. When I try to download sounds from instrument to a phone editor, it simply clears the sounds, so I have to load the editor app once and once again. Same thing is with my tablet as well. Editor App version for Android is 1.2.0. Would you please tell me what should I do? Thank you

[@isax.academy]

There is confusion with this. The editor only loads sounds that you have previously saved as USER sounds on the AE not the internal preset sounds.

[@Marcus-ih8fu]

Hi there i'm getting great help from your vids about the aerophone, great work))) i'm trying to save now the kontakt muted trupet on my Ae10 but if i play it sounds like a trumpet in the pc but on my headphones i still have my sax sound...bit confusing haha...could you please help me out?thanks

[@isax.academy]

Hi. You can’t save the Kontakt sound onto the Aerophone! Usually mute the sound of the Aerophone and play the trumpet from Kontakt via midi through Kontakt on the PC

[@isax.academy]

[@THESAMMUSIC]

So nice to hear that , does Aerophone GO still can do the same setting ?

[@isax.academy]

+samian lu Hi. The playing settings like bite control and breath settings can be saved but you can’t edit the onboard sounds.

[@erginyilmaztenor]

can it be used for fingering practise to support acoustic sax? I have many free time in my work and i want to practise scales, arpegious, transcribing etc. does it help? Keyboard is really same with sax? what's bothering you when we compare it to a real saxophone, especially about keys?

[@isax.academy]

For fingering practice I think it’s a very viable tool. Even harmonic fingerings work. Great for playing self contained with headphones and backing tracks too. The saxophone relies not only on lip control but also the oral cavity makes a huge difference as you know and the Aerophone can’t detect those changes.

[@mikemiller9915]

Where can I find a usb cable with those ends? Not at any music store or Best Buy.

[@mariosapienza4187]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jaareda9940]

Hello Alister. I know you don't respond to these messages often, but on a lark, I'm going to ask only one. You said in a previous video that there were a "list of the CC controls and what they do" on the Roland website. I can't find them ANYwhere. You also used them again on the Editor App in this video. Is there ANY chance that you could copy and paste the "direct link" to the list? Great performance, by the way. Very expressive. Hope (and pray) to hear back from you.

[@jaareda9940]

Sorry. Alistair for the misspelling. Apologies.

[@isax.academy]

Jaared A Hi and thanks for the kind comments. If you look here. www.roland.com/us/products/aerophone_ae-10/support/ And download the tone list. You will see a list of internal sounds and the CC controls you can try. For things like the Sample Modeling trumpet you can see the various CC controls on the settings pages and program the Aerophone to send which one you want to address. Hope that helps.

[@jaareda9940]

iSax - Alistair Parnell Wow! Thanks so much for the quick reply! VERY appreciated! Cheers!

[@gilsomarmouramoura8855]

wow i love the sound

[@isax.academy]

Many thanks.

[@THESAMMUSIC]

Hi Alistair, Can Aerophone GO do the same CC control as Arophone AE10 ? Thank you.

[@isax.academy]

+samian lu Hi. So the thumb button is more limited in that it can only send one CC instead of 4 but it looks like the GO can send any CC number from that button.

[@isax.academy]

+samian lu No. it’s limited to just one extra cc control.

[@louisdesilvio2469]

Thanks for the video. Using my Android, I did everything you instructed in this video to a T. But when I play the Trumpet alone (without connecting to midi software) in the new user slot, I get no response from the thumb joystick except for the down position, which was not changed. I set the CC codes exactly as you mentioned but moving the joystick left, right up does nothing. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@isax.academy]

Hi. Maybe I wasn’t clear in the video. Those settings are to control the SM (external) trumpet sound only. Not the internal sound of the AE10. I just did a video on CC controls you can use on the internal sounds.

[@ldesilvi]

Great. Thank you very much for your response.

[@cyrusworldmusic]

here the sound is Good with the sample Modeling Sound+ Roland AE10

[@CrimsonCrackur]

Is it possible to have the Aerophone plug into your ipad or a similar device and also connect to an amp? I am interested in using these sample Modeling sounds while also being able to use them during a live performance. Is there any specific hardware that is needed to achieve this?

[@isax.academy]

+Andrew Hoyt Hi. Yes I’ve played iPad sounds from the Aerophone. You need an Apple Camera connection kit and a USB cable. You then plug the iPad output into your amp or speakers. Be aware that some sounds might need editing to work well on the iPad.

[@isax.academy]

Hi. I think one of them allows to charge the iPad at the same time. Otherwise they work the same way. So if you plan on using the iPad this way for a long session or on stage maybe it’s worth having the powered version?

[@CrimsonCrackur]

HI Alistair. Thank you for the quick reply. Is it possible to use the sounds from Sample Modeling like the the one you demonstrate in this video through an iPad, or can these sounds ONLY be used through a desktop MAC/PC?

[@isax.academy]

+Andrew Hoyt At the moment they don’t work on iPad but I think they might be working on it. There’s a development with the Roli keyboard going on I understand.

[@gravitymakerstheband8567]

What about Kenny G kontact plug-in with this AE-10 can you please make any video over it

[@isax.academy]

Sorry, I don't have that plugin to try out. Maybe someone else has it and could comment?

[@gravitymakerstheband8567]

iSax - Alistair Parnell ok fine

[@kathyzaldivar7172]

cant not find the app for set up For Aerophone AE 30 mainstage is there another app??

[@isax.academy]

Hi. If you have a PC try Camelot Pro which is similar to MainStage but works on Mac or PC. See my video on Zenology Pro and Camelot.

[@kathyzaldivar7172]

Thank you for this I will try. Im having a very difficult time setting music up with my aerophone AE - 30 pro I will try and see if this helps thanks a million for answering me. Where I live in California know one knows anything about this instrument they say they have never heard of it so its hard finding anyone to assist me with the set up.

[@jacquesdeghorain3162]

très belle réalisation de Roland , mais mettons bien les choses au point 1) cet appareil est très compliqué à utiliser au mieux : il demande une étude approfondie et des connaissances bien précises sur la sonorité des instruments devant être imités . Si vous n'êtes pas un musicien confirmé , n'espérez pas réussir un réglage convenable de l'appareil 2) quoi que vous fassiez , la sonorité que vous aurez choisie restera toujours une sonorité électronique et rien de plus : ne soyez donc pas déçus !! Conclusion : excellent travail de Roland , dont le nouvel aerophone pourra , à la limite faire illusion du son d'un véritable instrument si vous choisissez une sonorité de guitare électrique , par exemple , puisque le véritable instrument est déjà sous contrôle d'une amplification électronique . Mais pour imiter un saxophone , une trompette ou n'importe quel autre instrument de musique non amplifié électroniquement à l'origine , ça ne sera jamais satisfaisant.......L'Aerophone AE10 est donc un appareil à imitations multiples très étendues . Il fera un excellent effet et sera très utile et novateur s'il est utilisé pour lui-même et non pas dans le but d'imiter des instruments existants , parce que ça , ce sera trop lui demander .

You can remove the mouthpiece and gently clean around the lip sensor with a cloth. The mouthpiece can be washed with warm water.
