Roland Aerophone GO Digital Wind Instrument
Wind instruments can impart powerful emotions to music, especially within the genres of classical, pop, rock, and jazz. The sound of the saxophone, for example, has captivated music lovers of all ages, and many people would love to play one—although it’s not always easy. There are many wind instruments, so choosing one can be tough, especially when you like several. Noise levels make it difficult to practice at home, particularly at night. And staying motivated is hard when your practice time is limited, or you can’t find a place to play. Roland’s Aerophone GO is a digital wind instrument that solves all these problems. First, there are 11 expressive instruments on board, including various sax sounds. Thanks to battery operation and a built-in speaker, you can play them anywhere. And you can practice whenever you like by connecting a set of headphones. Wirelessly connect your smartphone, and you can access extra sounds, play along with your favourite songs or start an ensemble performance with up to six friends. If you’ve always wanted to play the saxophone (or flute, clarinet, and many more), Aerophone GO gives you everything you need to start…and keep on going.
Find an Inspiring Sound, Think Of Your Favorite Tune, and Start Playing

The built-in speaker ensures high-quality sound without the need for external speakers or connections. And with the option to use headphones, you can play day or night without disturbing others. Weighing just 1 lb. 9 oz./695 g, the Aerophone GO is your perfect travel companion, complete with a soft case for your musical adventures.
Smartphone Apps Make It Quicker To Learn Your Favorite Song
As a standalone instrument, Aerophone GO offers inspiring sounds, portability and the option of playing with headphones. And when you use Bluetooth® to connect with your smartphone wirelessly, things become even more exciting. Aerophone GO Plus is a free app that lets you play along with your favourite songs from your smartphone, offering several ways to learn specific songs, including slowing the tempo of the playback song or looping a section of the song so you can study it in detail. Using the app gives access to an additional 50 sounds, covering an even wider range of musical genres, and you can adjust various performance settings, including the sensitivity of breath control and the bite sensor, as well as the customisation of fingering type.
*Available for iOS and Android devices
Ensemble, Assemble!
The Aerophone GO Ensemble app lets up to seven players perform wirelessly together. Once connected to this free app, each group member can access 19 sounds on the smartphone, and each musician can choose a different sound. The sound from the group is mixed in the smartphone, and by connecting a small monitor speaker (such as the battery-powered Roland Cube Street EX), everyone can hear and react to the resulting ensemble – perfect for street performances, jam sessions or classroom learning.
