Roland AE20 Aerophone Digital Wind Instrument (White)

The Roland Aerophone AE-20 brings professional wind synthesis to musicians in a compact, streamlined design that rivals the flagship Aerophone Pro. This sophisticated electronic wind instrument combines the authentic feel of traditional wind playing with cutting-edge sound technology, offering two elegant finishes — the classic pearl white with matte black accents or the striking all-white AE-20W model. Developed alongside leading wind synth artists, the AE-20 features the same acclaimed key touch and refined playability that made the Pro model so popular.

At the heart of the AE-20 lies an impressive sound library powered by Roland’s SuperNATURAL technology and ZEN-Core Synthesis System. Musicians can access stunningly realistic acoustic instruments including soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, clarinet, flute, trumpet, violin, cello, and world instruments like erhu and shakuhachi. The ZEN-Core engine, found in professional Roland keyboards such as FANTOM and JUPITER-X, provides everything from vintage analogue synth tones to modern digital voices, all optimised for wind instrument articulation and dynamics.

The familiar reed-style mouthpiece and customisable breath and bite sensors provide immediate response and natural expression control. Players can configure fingering for saxophone, clarinet, flute, recorder, or create personalised setups, while instant transposition and seven-octave range eliminate the limitations of traditional acoustic instruments. The AE-20 adapts to any performance situation with its built-in speaker for practice, headphone output for silent sessions, and standard audio outputs for amplification.

Comprehensive software support includes the Aerophone Lesson app for beginners, featuring practice songs and accuracy scoring, plus Bluetooth® audio streaming for play-along sessions. The free Aerophone Pro Editor enables deep customisation of sounds and performance parameters, while Roland Cloud provides access to expanding Sound Packs and creative apps like Zenbeats and Zentracker, making the AE-20 a complete musical solution for modern wind players.
