Got one ordered and on the way. Your video was very helpful, going into detail in the Respiro segment that they don’t on their website. I need to practice silently 50% of the time, so this will really fit for me. Can’t wait to get it
I’ve had mine for over a year now and I play it almost every night when I can’t play my tenor. Great fun and a nice instrument to practice tunes and improvising. And as Donna says, it’s not for your embochure. Maybe a bit pricey but much better than the Roland Aerophone that I hade before getting the Emeo. Feels much more like a real saxophone since it has real saxophone keys. I use mine with the cabel connected to my macbook and it’s very close to zero latency.
Yes I just don’t want to be tied to my laptop with a wire any time I want to practice. So I’m wondering what the user experience is like running through Bluetooth and an iPhone. Nobody ever seems to talk about this.
No, to be clear you only mentioned the latency while using Bluetooth earbuds. I am trying to find out what the latency is like just connecting the Emeo to my iPhone via Bluetooth. But never mind, I’ll find out elsewhere.
Again, contact EMEO directly via their site. When I met with them at NAMM, we spoke about this, and they strongly recommended to NOT use Bluetooth with the phone.
The reason why is because if you want to play the saxophone - the actual saxophone - you need to learn the embouchure. The EMEO is not designed for that. Also, if you are a beginner, you do want to learn all your fingerings. The EMEO can help you with that too, but I think the EMEO is great for people who have been playing for a little while, can't always practice because of where they live or the times they have to practice, and for those who want to explore electronic sounds and possibly add them to the repertoire. For me personally, I'm not thinking about absolute beginners playing this before playing the actual saxophone and developing the embouchure, fingerings, breathing etc
Thanks for this video. Can I ask a couple of questions? 1. How is using it with an iPhone? I know you mentioned not to use it with Bluetooth headphones, but is there any latency with wired headphones and Bluetooth iPhone use? Is that as smooth as wiring it to a laptop? 2. I tried the Travelsax2 and found it very glitchy with the key response. Not so much like my sax. Is the emeo less key glitchy between notes? Between octaves, etc? Thanks!
There shouldn't be latency when you are wired. Not sure what you mean about the keys being glitchy - I didn't have that problem on the Travel Sax 2, and I don't have it on the EWEO.
