Roland has greatly upgraded their flagship woodwind-style synth with the Aerophone Pro, a digital wind instrument that allows any sax or clarinet player to perform ZEN-Core SuperNATURAL Acoustic sounds, or trigger MIDI in a manner more commensurate with their chosen instrument. Simply put, the Aerophone Pro fuses a traditional saxophone fingering system with a library of onboard acoustic and synth sounds, allowing the user to create whole tapestries of sound whenever the moment strikes. Use it onstage to add electronic versatility to performances, or use it in the studio as the hub of your production process.The Aerophone Pro boasts numerous upgrades to the original. The design is more sleek and elegant; the breath and bite sensors have been redone to provide more authenticity. The sounds are better, and there are more of them. Bluetooth MIDI and a full MIDI I/O section is provided. You can plug in your headphones, route to a speaker, or use the built in speakers. If you've ever wanted to play synths as you would a saxophone, this is the instrument for you.Enhanced by Experts While developing the Aerophone Pro, Roland reached out to expert wind players around the globe to see how they could enhance the Aerophone experience. This feedback led to many thoughtful improvements that substantially upgrade the instrument's look, feel, sound, and playability.Refined Defined With just one look at the Aerophone Pro, you'll notice the sleek new design and premium materials. The shape is thinner and easier to hold than the previous models, providing a more confident playing experience. Controls are easy to reach, and the streamlined body, complete with aluminum accents, exudes an understated yet classy appearance. The discrete OLED screen can be viewed at any angle, in any kind of lighting.Familiar Fingering Fingering is the same as an acoustic sax and includes a high F# key, so sax players will already know how to play it. 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 before, with low latency and configurable settings to suit your unique playing style.Authentic Acoustic Sounds Aerophone Pro packs an entire brass and woodwind section into a single instrument. Developed closely with professional wind instrument players, the instrument packs newly enhanced soprano, alto, and tenor saxes, as well as vibrant trumpet sounds, and authentic world instruments.

Multiple custom fingerings are supported, while new controller options enable idiomatic performance techniques on a range of instruments from mainstream to exotic.ZEN-Core Synthesis System With Roland's ZEN-Core Synthesis System, Aerophone Pro is an immensely capable wind synthesizer.
