Roland Aerophone AE-20 Digital Wind Instrument
The Roland Aerophone AE-20 is a digital wind instrument that combines expressive, natural playability with a versatile dual sound engine, making it ideal for both traditional instrumentalists and modern performers. Featuring Roland's SuperNATURAL acoustic engine with over 250 realistic instrument voices — including saxophones, clarinets, flutes, brass, strings, and world instruments — alongside the ZEN-Core synthesis system for electronic and synth tones, the AE-20 covers an extraordinary range of sonic territory. Its reed-style mouthpiece with ultra-responsive breath and bite sensors delivers nuanced control over dynamics, pitch bend, and vibrato, while customizable fingering systems for saxophone, flute, clarinet, recorder, and brass layouts let players use familiar technique right out of the box. With a seven-octave range, built-in stereo speakers, Bluetooth audio and MIDI connectivity, USB-C integration, and battery-powered portability, the Aerophone AE-20 is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or wherever inspiration strikes.
