Roland Aerophone Pro AE-30 Digital Wind Instrument

Enhanced by experts.

While developing Aerophone Pro, we reached out to expert wind players around the globe to see how we could take the Aerophone experience to the next level. Their feedback led to many thoughtful improvements that substantially enhanced the instrument’s look, feel, sound, and playability. The result is a revolutionary wind instrument that gives musicians a new and highly expressive voice.

Refined design.

With just one look at the Aerophone Pro, you’ll notice the sleek new design and premium materials. The attractive shape is thinner and easier to hold, allowing for a more confident playing experience. Controls are easy to reach, and the streamlined body with aluminium accents exudes an understated yet classy appearance. The discrete OLED screen feels like an integral part of the instrument and can be viewed at any angle in any lighting.

Play with passion.

Aerophone Pro makes it easy to channel your creativity and lose yourself in the moment. Adjustable fingering is the same as a flute, clarinet, or saxophone (complete with a high-F# key), so you already know how to play it. And the new motion sensor, configurable controls for both hands, and a MIDI input for footswitches greatly expand your performance options. Through extensive research and development, the breath and bite sensors are more responsive and expressive than ever, with low latency and configurable settings to suit your unique playing style.

Authentic brass, woodwinds, strings, and more.

Aerophone Pro packs an entire brass and woodwind section into a single instrument. Developed closely with professional wind instrument players, there are newly enhanced soprano, alto, and tenor saxes, vibrant trumpet sounds, and authentic world instruments like the stunning duduk. Our SuperNATURAL technology translates every nuance of your playing with lifelike dynamics, articulations, and overtones. Multiple custom fingerings are supported, while new controller options enable idiomatic performance techniques on a range of instruments, from mainstream to exotic.

Powerful harmony and tuning features.

Newly expanded tools provide even more options for enhancing performances and playing regional music styles. The Intelligent Harmony function creates real-time harmonies based on your set key and scale. With a wireless footswitch like the BOSS FS-1-WL, you can turn the harmonies on/off and switch keys as you perform. There’s also a Scale Tune function for independently tuning each note on the instrument, either with ready-to-go presets or your own custom settings. This enables you to perform with different temperaments or personalise Aerophone Pro for specific music genres worldwide.

Our best synthesizer sounds.

Aerophone Pro is an immensely capable wind synthesiser backed by the same ZEN-Core sound engine that powers flagship synthesisers like FANTOM and JUPITER-X. Presets crafted by the world’s foremost wind synth sound designers offer everything from vintage analogue synth tones to modern hybrid sounds—with the expression and articulation only a wind instrument can provide. Importing ZEN-Core tone data and custom samples created on a FANTOM keyboard into Aerophone Pro via a USB flash drive is possible.

Explore new sonic territory.

Roland Cloud opens a world of possibilities for expanding your sonic palette with Wave Expansions, Sound Packs, and tones created with other instruments based on the ZEN-Core Synthesis System. There are even Sound Packs designed especially for Aerophone Pro that take full advantage of its unique controls and expressive articulations.
