A new voice for wind players.
Roland’s Aerophone series has opened a new world of creative possibilities for wind instrument players, and Aerophone Pro delivers the most expressive and playable experience yet. With a refined design, premium components, and a vast sonic palette from our most advanced sound engines, Aerophone Pro takes your music where it’s never gone before.
Enhanced by experts.
While developing the 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 enhance 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 shape not only looks great, but is thinner and easier to hold for a more confident playing experience. Controls are easy to reach, and the streamlined body with aluminum accents exude 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 kind of 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 new trumpet sounds, and authentic world instruments like the stunning new 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.

Tech Specs
If you play the saxophone, you already know how to play Aerophone Pro.
Aerophone Pro offers the same layout as an acoustic sax, so you can pick it up and play right away. The key positions and fingering were developed by referencing world-famous instruments, and the high-resolution mechanical buttons provide great feel for an instantly familiar and satisfying experience.
Front Side
Aerophone Pro’s top key layout is inspired by the soprano saxophone, with a shorter distance between the left and right hands when compared with alto and tenor saxophones. But even if you haven’t played a soprano sax before, the hand placement and fingering will quickly become second nature. Aerophone Pro also includes a high F# key (not included on the original Aerophone AE-10), providing extended range for professional players.
Rear side
The rear key layout is compatible with the acoustic sax as well, with four octave keys that cover a wide range of pitches. For sax sounds, the default octave key setting is +1 octave, while others have various default settings to suit the sound. You can freely customize these keys for your playing style, and a massive range of +/-3 octaves is possible by playing them in different combinations.
