Thanks so much for the mention Jay. Wow, you got through those sounds so fast. The AE-20 is the one I’m reaching for all the time. Great job. 👏👏👏

@bettersax 2 года назад

Thanks Alistair!

@jpdj2715 Год назад

Watched/listened to videos from both of you. While you're both here, when you buy an 88 key digital keyboard, it probably has something like Hamburg D and it sounds and plays pretty to really realistic. I listened through Jay's performance because it was musically entertaining, but was hoping somewhere in there to be confronted with, say, Paris Supreme, or US Royalty. Or classical versus cool, or Parker v Webster. What I heard was between plastic and electronic. I know, they call it Aerophone. But still. You're both doing a great job, understand me correctly. Grateful for that.

@45zapatero 5 месяцев назад

@@jpdj2715I politely disagree. I can always hear when someone is playing windinstrument sounds on a keyboard. The phrasing is just different.

@jpdj2715 5 месяцев назад

@@45zapatero - I totally agree, and used the piano sidestep as an example where a synthetic instrument "may" work. The sounds in the video are gimmicky. And it is not clear to me that these "instruments" support e.g. portamento. These devices may help learn fingering and melody but not embouchure, I think.

@petervanveen2664 Год назад

Thanks for the comprehensive review and your unvarnished, honest views Jay. The lack of sales pitch is very refreshing! I am looking for a practice instrument with sax fingering and your reviews of wind-synths have opened my eyes that these have really moved on in the last few years and have become so much more accessible to aspiring musicians!

@vmontijo 2 года назад

Hi Jay - as always, thanks for posting a great video! I have a Roland AE-10 and love it. I am in a cover band and play mostly bass guitar and sing (lead and harmonies). I spent about 5 years as an adult learning to play sax (about 15 years ago). I tried to bring my sax playing to the cover band, but found that a "Real sax" takes too much "maintenance" and by that I mean embouchure strength, reed conditioning, etc. I only play the horn maybe 1-3 times per hour, and the sax doesn't seem to be an instrument you can just grab and blow a sax part then put it down and grab the bass back... the reed dries out, the horn is "cold", etc. and at my skill level, basically sounds terrible. My AE-10 solves much of that and always plays perfectly in tune which I like. The thing is - I don't use my AE-10 for "Synth sounds"... I use it to sound like "real analog instruments"... it does a good job sounding like a "real" flute (California Dreaming, Can't You See) , like a violin (Doobies Black Water) and some brass sounds (trumpet, muted trumpet). But the instrument I mainly bought it for was to play "sax" which, sadly it really doesn't do all that well... Most of your subscribers play "real sax" so probably don't use a wind synth to try to play sax voicings on, but I sure wish it did a little better at this one... I notice you don't spend much time with the AE's and their ability to sound like a sax, seems the AE30 might be better at expressing since you can "growl" just by angling it up... Hmmm...

@magicdaerio3248 2 года назад

Was just playing my ae-10 when this came out. I'm having a really good time with my toy!

@drewismynick 2 года назад

Jay. in the ethnic instruments scene, the xiao 2 with the octave raised up one so the lower octave activates with out the octave down key. that is the jazz flute sound you are looking for, I promise.

@bettersax 2 года назад

Will check it out thanks.

@unclemick-synths 2 года назад

I have the AE-30. I couldn't do without the motion sensors, thumb pad, or MIDI Out socket because I have too much fun using those to play my Behringer Neutron analogue synth (aided by a CC to CV converter). The motion sensors and thumb pad are great for adding expression to the internal sounds too.

@eichisama Год назад

That's exactly why I'm looking at the pro myself! 5-pin MIDI out for HW synths is great, and the Pro also seems to have a transpose function for those of us that haven't learned all our scales yet...

@vmontijo Год назад

Thanks Uncle Mick - I have an AE-10, and the biggest draw for me to step up to the AE-30 is the motion sense... I think all the Roland wind synth have the transpose function - no? My AE-10 does and I LIVE by it!!! I play all my instruments in MY favorite key(s)... I am too whimpy to learn all the scales... OK let me restate that - I "know" all the scales, but I am too whimpy to be "smooth" at all the scales...

@unclemick-synths Год назад

@@vmontijo the 30 has a handy transpose knob. It's very useful when I'm doing a cover of a song which I need to transpose to better fit the range of my alto. The transpose lets me practice along to the original recording using the actual fingering I'll be using on my sax.

@orifox1629 10 месяцев назад

you're liking the motion sensors? I've been debating between the 30 and the 20 cause i'm not sure if I'd like the motion sensors

@unclemick-synths 10 месяцев назад

@@orifox1629 I find the motion controls absolutely essential for my kind of music making. They're great fun to use! I'm into synthetic sounds rather than "realistic" sounds. On a regular synth I tweak controls while I play. That's not possible with a regular wind synth but the extra features on the AE-30 enable me to achieve the same things while I play. I don't have any videos on my channel yet of me using the motion with internal sounds (I'm _supposed_ to be editing a video on that right this moment 🙄) but I have posted videos using the motion sensors to control the cutoff frequency and resonance on my Behringer Neutron. I also like the thumb pad - it's pressure sensitive which gives me a third control and the S1 and S2 are really useful for switching things in and out such as effects. So far I've only just scratched the surface of the possibilities of these controls. If I lost my AE-30, I'd immediately buy another.

@topsymusic3733 Год назад

En tant qu'ancien saxophoniste, j'ai acheté l'AE-20 pour me dégourdir les doigts sans déranger les voisins et j'en suis pleinement satisfait. Je n'utilise que rarement les sons internes -l'un de mes préférés est l'Erhu- car je le branche à mon interface audio et mon ordinateur pour déclencher de luxueux instruments VST de riche, en tous cas je crois bien que je l'étais avant de les acheter. Cela fonctionne parfaitement bien pour moi. Merci l'AE-20.

Hey Jay, I have an aerophone AE-20 and I know this video is a year old now but by chance if you look back at this comment im a wind instrument player in high school and I really want to learn how to play this thing but I can't make it sound anywhere as good as you do, do you think you could tell me how to make it sound so good?

@ronhorton21 6 месяцев назад

I just got mine from UPS today. I was amazed at how easy it was with fingering. I had some other synth years ago and it was such a PIA to try and play because the fingerings didn't match well at all to a sax. From what I can tell so far, the only learning curve will be with the octave keys and setting up which sounds to put in the favorites so it's a quick and easy switch while on a gig. Love it so far!!!

I have both the AE-30 and 20, I love the 30, the extr features make it awesome, you can plug Widi Master in the Din Sockets and Have dual Bluetooth Midi connectiving. this means 1 for DAWand 1 for artist. I use MidiMittr and and Midi Macro for instant changes to scenes and settings

@janeseddon5500 2 года назад

Good video Jay. I have had the AE10 for a couple of years and I have found it a great quiet practice instrument. A few too many onboard sounds IMO. I am also fortunate to have secured a YDS150 which is a superior instrument in all respects and hard to put down. I also have a Tenor and Alto acoustic sax. A lot of critics of these instruments seem to think that they are alternative saxes. They are not. They are electronic wind instruments that are ergonomically based upon saxaphones and should never be compared so criticallly with an acoustic sax. The development of these instruments is a godsend for the ever growing apartment population that would like to enjoy the delights of playing sax but are unable to for fear of annoying the neighbours. My wife is a great fan of these quiet or if preferred, silent, instruments.

@thomaskipfer1008 2 года назад

From Synth k-board background, a breath supported synth is a great invention! My keys creates real, believable sounds. This AE20 has breath instruments down! The world of synths just moved over for this AE20 breath machine.

@rederic2665 Год назад

Fantastic video and I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of all of the sounds but as a brass player who was considering one of these, I think the un muted trumpets and trombones unfortunately deserve the same ratings as the saxes. The muted sounds are awesome and I think the euphonium sound is actually the best of the brass sounds but the trombone is not so great 😂

@Learning2Sax 2 года назад

13:03 That flute sound was nice.

@JOJOSAX56 Год назад

I am a sax player and picked this one for a try. Loved the fact that it opens up to so many sounds (I am a bad keyboard player) Synth sounds are fun and opens up to a lot of new ways of playing imho. I agree Sax sounds are terrible, I loved the muted trumpet or pan flute! Any reed instrument cannot really compete when you know how to play them. This is not a synth sax it is a synth for sax players! Love it I need to buy one soon!

@mikemcwhirter6377 11 месяцев назад

I was also disappointed with the sax sounds for the AE-20. I way preferred the sax in the app for the AE-05. You may have discovered this by now but the AEZ003 Sound Pack has some great sax options. That's become my go-to when I'm needing the sax.

@TheFaithfulVegan 2 года назад

Dear Mr. Metcalf -- First of all, I'd like to say: I very much enjoy your content. As an amateur saxophonist, it is a delight to have a channel to tune into to find so many informative reviews! However, I have a burning desire for content on your channel and that is a review of the Singer's Day (SDAS-2020) alto saxophone. You see I purchased this sax and have been a tad bit disappointed. But I don't know if I should chalk it up to my poor skill or it being a poorly constructed horn. I worry, though because I've heard bad things about the horn. Thank you for your time and consideration! Sincerely, your follower, E.A. Johnson.

@Cysubtor_8vb 2 года назад

If they were cheaper I could see myself getting one for kicks, but, since I already have effect pedals, I run my miked sound through those instead for a synth sound. Typically only use octave pedals to drop my alto sax to bari or soprano clarinet to bass, though.

@jazznutz 2 года назад

Yep love the rotate ones that you liked before I saw you liked them.

@vincentrufino4445 2 года назад

I bought the AE 10 at the beginning of the pandemic. Besides being a college professor I am also a church musician. During the pandemic I was not allowed to use my clarinet or flute because of the air spread of particulates. The AE 10 solved that problem, and I placed a towel on the floor to catch the condensation drips from the bottom. I use approximately 40 of the sounds in addition to SWAM flute sounds from my Ipad. Yes the keys are clunky, and certain fingerings capable on the real instruments cannot be used on the Aerophone because it lacks mechanical couplings.

@DrDaab Год назад

Aerophones have the best built in sounds, but samplemodeling and audiomodeleing (SWAM) is far better than anything else.

Another great video - Jay... and thank you for playing the emulated "acoustic instruments" , because as I said in a message below, I actually use the Roland to perform in a cover band, and I am not about to learn to play a "real" flute, French Horn, harmonica, trumpet, muted trumpet, violin, etc. I hang my head low to you and your typical audience members and admit I am too much of a whimp to even play a "real" sax (for the reasons I mention below (inadequate embouchure, dry reeds = squeaks and shrieks!)... so I just do the best I can with the on-board sax sounds (admittedly not very good)... but I am hoping that - like so many things - these wind synths will continue to improve with time...

@amelia_briscoe 2 года назад

I took my Roland Go with me on a recent trip overseas. It gave me something to do during the 17 hour flight. Though I had to explain what it was when going through security. But it was easy to carry around with me and so handy to have a practice tool when I can't be near my saxophone. At home I use the EMEO for my 'silent practice' and I love it. There are some very funky sounds on that device too. I hope you eventually review it Jay. I use The EMEO when practicing early in the morning before everyone wakes up. I just put my headphones on and can play to my hearts content. Both very handy instruments to have available when it's not convenient to play the real thing.

@saxofunk 2 года назад

Having an AE-30 for a few months now, I feel like this doesn’t do the instrument justice. For instance the Huge patch sounds waaaay better down in the lower octaves, as do many of these patches. Can’t think of it as ‘just a sax substitute’, it’s more of a full synth with wind control and a sax key bed instead of a piano key bed. For me, that makes the synth sounds and patches much more accessible, since I’m primarily a sax player who dabbles in piano. The key differences between 20 and 30 are well documented, but for most players they’re going to be on the same playing field. As a recording engineer, I see the benefits to MIDI din connectors, and extra controls like motion to trigger other synths and FX.

@meldavis7183 Год назад

I’m with you on those woodwinds sounds. But I’ve discovered that this sw package called swam get pretty damn close using an aerophone go. That currently my practice setup. That ae20 and ae30 is too expensive. I’d rather send that on sugal tenor mpc.

@billreed1889 Год назад

just got my AE20 today and love it, had tried the AE10 but the loud key clicks put me off and I got an ewi solo still love it. this new AE20 is whisper quiet with the key clicks, think the voices sound better too than the AE10... so far I can't fault the AE20... well done Roland for sorting out the loud key clicks... sax voices are OK, nice clarinet voice.

@GerardLambot Год назад

It is clear that each person will have their preferences and some are more successful than others. But each sound must be chosen according to the context and must be practiced according to the way it was programmed. For example you don't seem to like "Sentimental Ld" too much but listen to the sound that served as a reference and how it was used by Michael Brecker in his EWI interpretation of "In A Sentimental Mood" on the "Magnetic" disc.

The M Brecker 1 and 2 are not right. Those sounds are supposed to be huge rotating Brecker type chord sounds. Multi notes. Something is out of sync in this video.

@rjones1357 Год назад

There at least a couple of buttons on the instrument, S1 and S2, that the player has to be careful about pressing by accident. These can control whether or not the harmonies sound or not along with other sound features. There are quite a few variables with the AE-20 and AE-30 that can change greatly how a selected patch scene sounds.

@donmilland7606 Год назад

Based on your recommendation and your review of other products, such as EMEO and the Yamaha, I’m going to give this a try. My dog gives me such a hard time when I practice. I have to put in the garage. So let’s see what kind of deal Sweetwater can give.

@donmilland7606 Год назад

Sweetwater had a pretty good deal for a slightly used AE-30 that was selling at only a $120 difference of the AE-20 price. So that's what I opted for.

@DrDaab Год назад

Too bad that you played a lot of the synth sounds first, instead of the virtual wind instruments sounds. As a pro Sax player I think you agree that the complex sound of acoustic instrument, like the Saxophone has a beauty rarely matched by simple synth voices. For example I always prefer the sound of an Acoustic Bass compared to an Electric Bass. Sure it is a matter of personal opinion, but few would deny the rich complex beauty of the Acoustic Bass relative to that of the Electric Bass certainly, if your primary interest is Jazz or Classical music. Another reason for what I am saying, is that a keyboard controller, in my opinion, can probably do as good as, or a better job with Synth sounds, where you easily have more control (e.g. expression pedals, k switches far more easily integrated with keyboards). What wind player would not like to play Trumpet or some other Brass, as well as Oboe, Bassoon, or Strings without having to learn totally a different fingering etc.

Can anyone recommend a good tenor sax mouthpiece for marching band ? And maybe a symphonic band setting?

One more question, what is the point of pushing the instrument away from you between played segments? Coolness?

Hi Jay - I guess you know of Alistair Parnell - if not check out his youTube channel - he does loads on these Roland Aerophones. As both of you are gigging pro musicians you have much in common.

What model of stand is that, Sir? I've been having a hard time finding a stand for my AE-30...

I'm having a hard time justifying moving on from my AE10. In my opinion, the AE10's sounds are better. I do like the Bluetooth option. If they could put the AE10 soundbank on the AE20 then I would seriously consider purchasing one. Plus it's $200 more.
