I have an older model Aerophone myself, and use it mostly for the trumpet and muted trumpet sounds. I like to record with another instrument jamming with me (jam sessions are hard to come by my way), so improvising with the Aerophone, with my sax and trading 4’s is fun for me. This new Aerophone seems like it’s worth every penny by what I’ve seen and heard, Jay! Hope you enjoy it, and looking forward to hearing your future thoughts on it

If you´d like to jam, try out Jamulus or Jamkazam or Sonobus. I´m using these online jamming platforms for 10 months now and I´ve never played so much music before in my life. You´ll find players of any level there from all around the world. Latency can be an issue sometimes but in general it works fine.

Thanks for all your hard work, Jay. Gotta say that the noise from the key action is noticeable; might be from the proximity of the mike, but it sounds like someone working their PC keyboard.

This is basically just Sonic the Hedgehog: the instrument and I think I'm in love

Cant wait to watch!

This was great. I was wondering whether the keys were touch only, and this is the first video I've seen that talks about that, and the octave keys, in detail. Appreciate that. This looks a lot more intriguing and appealing than the YDS-150 digital sax. I could see using this for recording or maybe on stage. Will be interested in your later video when you've had a chance to play with it and get familiar with it.

Yeah, the synth engine is the real selling point. Plus Bluetooth midi.

I'm with you on the roller situation. I have had an AE10 for 3yrs and whilst the key clacking is annoying I am more p*ssed without the rollers. You'd have thought in this modern era of micro engineering it wouldn't have been too difficult an issue to resolve, especially for the price!!

Thanks for the great content.

I like the sounds as they are usable and onboard, and Roland will probably have an app to go along with the unit. I like the fact that it has a built in speaker, phone jack, speaker out and bluetooth for different connectivity options. $1500 is a little pricey, but do-able. Key noise is a little annoying, but I never really learned to play EWI as the USB version was a poor offering and very limited. This seems like a more mature/evolved product than what I've seen before in this market. Thanks for the review Jay! Looking forward to the next one!

My questions for your full review... is it worth it to upgrade from the AE-10? I'd also like to hear a lot more about the articulations and breath control, judging from the beginning playing examples, it sounds like it is a lot more sensitive. It's definitely still got the clickity clack. Nice job, Jay!

Great video. Can't wait for the follow ups. Lots of comments on reviewing the Yamaha YDS 150, I agree.. I keep getting pop up ads on something called a TravelSax. Could you review that one as well? I'm looking for something that will give me silent practice options and MAYBE a performance instrument someday when there are gigs again. Thanks Jay.

Wow that is awesome. I am seriously thinking of buying one. Thanks again for this and all your videos. I was wondering if you ever did a video on Prez tonguing or muted tonguing ? Can you do one ? I am a little confused as to what part of the reed is best to place the tongue when muting the notes and if this is used on straight eights as well. I play the tenor and I have been working on this type of articulation for a few months. Thanks for your awesome knowledge, and for being so generous : )

I just bought my AE-10G less than a year ago. Looks nice! Makes me think Beskar Steel 🙂.

Thanks Jay best review out there so far!!

Great, thanks for sharing your first impressions! Question: can one practice articulation with any of the Aerophones, or with the Yamaha YDS-150? For example, using the tongue on reed to give accents or to mute the reed (like in the down beats for jazz articulation)? I'd love to hear about this in you full review.

Great video - very interesting! It would be nice if you had a playlist of your wind synths so we can easily find them please 🙏🏾

I have a Yamaha WX11 which has served me well for many years. I find the key spacing to be the most comfortable and sax-like. I love the "WTH is that thing!?" question I get from audiences when I play it out at gigs. My response? "What do you want it to be?" as I gesture to my rack mounted Yamaha Motif.

Do you tend to use the motion tracking function when playing? I'm a tenor player looking for quieter alternative to practice. Motion tracking is the one function that might enhance the experience of the instrument that isn't available in the AE-20. Thank you!

Oh my gosh I am laughing right now after seeing this video. Not only is these good examples but wow as a working pianist myself hahaha i find this funny that a sax can do this and you were so intertaining. This was freaking amazing!!! The things I can do on a digital piano and synthesizer you are doing on an electric sax. Lol!!! This video seriously got me laughing hard. Hahahahaa!!😅❤

Hey, that looks cool!

I can only hope to have this kind of instrument but sadly I can't afford one. You are so lucky sir. MORE POWER TO YOUR Chanel.

Damn Jay I caught that shade thrown at the oboe 😭😂 Still love ya but I won't forget about that

I like the synth sounds that are available and that it is a fully programmable synth, which is awesome. I use my akai ewis ( of which I have 4, lol) primarily for theater work. I am a woodwind doubler that doesn’t play double reeds and I have found acoustic emulations of bassoon, oboe, english horn a godsend for those times when the theater budget doesn’t allow for the full orchestration set to be used. I also use the bass clarinet and Bari sax emulations when space is at a premium. I have been using Audio modeling for those emulations. It would be nice to eventually have excellent acoustic emulations available in the instrument itself rather than hauling around a computer for those emulations. As a soloist in small group jazz settings , all I use are synth sounds. I ask that you don’t short change us pit folk by applauding the company for ignoring the sounds that are my money makers, lol. Love your channel, keep it up!

sorry. I'm not yet sure how good the acoustic emulations are but will demo them soon.

Jay, have you tried the new Yamaha TDS-150 yet? I'm pretty happy with my AE-10, which I use mostly for those times when I need to practice quietly. But while the keywork is reasonably sax-like, it does have some issues. I don't much like the palm keys--they just don't feel right--and the little Bb bis key is too far from the left index-finger key--sometimes it actually pinches! The Yamaha looks like the keys might be much closer to those on a real sax. But I'd be really interested in hearing your take on this. How about doing a comparative video on the AE-10, AE-30, and the TDS-150?

Hi Jay, they will need to reduce the key click sound. I think the click feel is important, but the click sound came through even after you connected directly to the computer.

Fantastic synth sounds but the noisy buttons and high price kills it for me, which is a great shame because I thought Roland would have been far more conscious of this and would have used much higher quality buttons. Roland is synonymous with quality - I have one of their electric pianos which is outstanding - but the ae30 may buck the trend with these controls.

@@identificador1952 if you wanted to learn sax, go for a real one. In the future, if you want you can play the ae30 but you won't be able to play the saxophone at a proper level if you don't practice each day with a real saxophone due to the embouchure and the key activity. Now, between tenor and alto, I would say it's up to you which one you like the most, even though most people prefer to begin with the alto (it's less heavy and more compact for small hands).

Jay I have the Yamaha WX11, and I do love the fingering action better than the Casio DH100 that I had. I'll be honest to say that the DH100 is no where near comparable to the WX11. Coming from a saxophone, like myself, how is the fingering action of the short clicky keys oppose to the longer action keys of a real sax? I have been training myself to keep the fingers on the keys lightly during the scale exercise, to save abuse of the keys and speed up reaction when I need them. I really do love seeing the feature of the Aerophone synth, but have heard that those who love the WX love the fingering action. You played both a real sax and this Aerophone. What are your thoughts?

Actually... Brecker did have a sample of himself that he would pull out occasionally. Saw him play samples of himself in 1989 in the last section of "Original Rays." I might have the bootleg somewhere. :)

As you probably know the previous Aerophone ae-10 had a sustained function where you could play sustained notes and assign it to one of four buttons or all 4. Does this feature exist on the ae-30 I’m very curious I would like to find out.

Great content as always Sir. At 16:06 I thought you were about to start riffing on the Blade Runner theme :) How far away from the stage on a quiet tune do you think you would need to be to not hear they keys?

He said EWI (short for Electronic Wind Instrument). EVI is the (Electronic Valve Instrument). He meant that because EWI fingerings can be logically built and do not require adherence to physical acoustics, they provide very natural flexibility to allow performance of otherwise impossible passages with relative ease by using common sense adjustments to standard saxophone/clarinet/flute styled fingerings. In short, the EWI fingerings take the acoustic trill key and empower it to trill everything, not just F# G# or Bb.

I'm a clarinet player who has also been playing the Akai EWI 4000s. I like the relative simplicity of the Roland Aerophone Pro AE 30, but the key clicking would drive me crazy.

Hi Jay! I’m currently an aspiring 8th grader that plays a student Selmer alto sax. (This could be in your next Q&A video) Do you know when I should switch to an intermediate or even professional sax in the future? Maybe I shouldn’t switch the sax, possibly the mouthpiece? Thanks!

Thanks for the unboxing video. Would ne so interesting to hear the Sax Voices. At ae-10 I only used the Supernatural Alto-Sax, the Violine and the clarinet voices. I think about the ae-30 when the voices are better then ae-10 and yds-150. Hope you make a video about the ae-30 voices.

The new akai solo has a built in speaker. Would like to see your review of that instrument.

looking forward to your nest review

Thank you for your helpful videos! I'd really like to hear something from you about the Yamaha YDS-150, can you make it possible? Thx again!

Thanks, for the detailed demo and unboxing! Love your videos. I was really excited about the prospect of getting the 30, but, the clicking keys and the synth sounds left me cold. Just not applicable to the more standard jazz I play, rather than fusion, The sounds are like they came from 1980s Roland synths, in my humble opinion.

Nice! Wonder if you have ever done a review of the xafoon?

Thumb octave keys look just like the WX5 setup. But maybe they're soft pads that require more pressure. I also wish they would make rollers on these physical keys (C-Eb on the WX5 is nearly impossible) so are there other options for those notes? More of a flexible, not acoustically limited emulated, fingering system? As someone not a sax player I'm more interested in how flexible the fingering system can be. Any thoughts on that now that you've had this for a week?

Thanks, do you have a link for the mouthpiece guard?

I don't really think any company has nailed a good feel on the octave keys. The old Yamaha wind synths had the same design these Rolands now have and I found them manageable but awkward. The Akai rollers took me awhile to get used to and keeping that light touch as I would glide over the top of them. I will still glitch sometimes going over breaks. This thing has some very cool synth sounds. Does this synth have the ability to really edit the sounds or have the capability of loading new sounds entirely? Thank you for the demo and all the great content on your channel, Jay!

Hmmm does it reaaaaally need the bottom tailpiece type thing that extends beyond the right hand keys, I wonder? Would be nice to see some mechanical switches being used in these too, so there is a nice feedback when a key fully engages.

I would love a review of the AE-05 with SWAM Saxophone audio modeling. Just might be the best all around wind synth saxophone sound and value.

Jay, I was considering buying the roland but managed to snag a Yamaha YDS-150 instead. I am a first time sax (wannabe) player. I dont have the wind for a real sax, which is why I bought a synth. Do you think I would benefit in taking some of your courses, seeing as how I will be trying to play the YDS-150? Thanks in advance, I really dig your channel !

Would love to hear your thoughts on the Yamaha YDS 150. I am really enjoying mine.

Do you think this si good for silent practice for alto sax player and I understand the embouchure side of things or is YDS 150 maybe better for sax player

Jay. I looked at the comments and one said you didn't do any sax sounds. But dream with me here. Is it midi where you can possibly get Warren Hill, Everette Harp, Eric Marienthal etc. sounds from keyboard programs? Another one Does it have trumpet keys on the side?

Hi. I'm wondering if it is possible to use this midi sax with any vst plugin? I would like to use it with Serum and other synth plugins and map the controlls to various settings. Is this possible?

Thanks! I understand that in an amplified situation, that would not be a problem (gosh, musicians donʼt hear each other, sometimes...), but I _think_ that the loud clicking keys would drive me mad. Quiet room, open headphones (Grado SR-325, Sennheiser HD600) and low- to medium-level via loudspeakers. But then, thereʼs the word *_Pro_* after _Aerophone_ ...

Do these Wind Synths transition simply from a Acoustic instrument. Or do they require additional practice and learning. I wonder! Because I won't buy one for myself, (maybe for a relative), because attaining more musical skill might not be an option right now. Thank you.

Have you had a chance to compare this to the Yamaha YDS 150? Neither one is available in stores in the USA as of yet.... I'm most interested in the keys - whichever has the most "sax like" is my preference. FWIW, digital pianos make noise (the keys, even with headphones), and people complain about that. Since I would be using this gizmo for silent practice, that is an issue. I have the AE-10 and hate the keys, especially the left hand thumb (too small!), which appears identical. Thanks.

Nice review Jay. I still prefer my Yamaha WX5, even though you have to connect to a voice module. Great Roland sounds though, but it looked like the flow and fluency of a real sax has not really been reproduced here...
