Roland AE-30 Aerophone Pro Digital Wind Instrument

Professional wind players get a true flagship in the Roland Aerophone Pro AE-30, pairing saxophone-compatible keywork (including a high F# key) with the ZEN-Core and SuperNATURAL acoustic sound engines behind more than 300 preset scenes and 600 user scenes across four parts. Breath and bite sensors capture authentic wind articulation, while a thumb lever, thumb pad, motion sensor, and assignable S1/S2 buttons open deep real-time expression for acoustic and synth voices alike.

Studio and stage integration is comprehensive: dedicated MIDI IN/OUT jacks, USB Type-C for audio/MIDI, and Bluetooth 4.2 with A2DP audio and MIDI over BLE make the AE-30 a serious controller for hardware and software instruments. A graphic OLED display, multi-effects with chorus, delay, and reverb, stereo 1/4-inch output, headphone jack, and twin built-in 1.5 W speakers cover everything from silent practice to live performance.

Roughly six hours of playing time on six AA Ni-MH batteries (or the included AC adaptor) keeps the 1,140 g instrument gig-ready, and Roland includes a dedicated carrying bag, USB cable, mouthpiece cap, moisture band, thumb hook covers, and water basin in the box.
