Explore the Inspirational World of Wind Instruments
Wind instruments can impart powerful
emotions upon music, especially within the genres of classical, pop,
rock, and jazz. The sound of the saxophone, for example, has captivated
music lovers of all ages, and many people would love to play one –
although it’s not always easy. For instance, there are many types of
wind instrument so choosing one can be tough, especially when you like
several of them. Noise levels make it difficult to practice at home,
particularly at night. And staying motivated is hard when your practice
time is limited or you can’t find a place to play. Roland’s Aerophone GO

there are 11 expressive instruments on board including a variety of sax
sounds. You can play them anywhere, thanks to battery operation and a

exciting. Aerophone GO Plus is a free app that lets you play along with
favorite songs from your smartphone, offering several ways to learn
specific songs including slowing the tempo of the playback song, or
looping a section of the song so you can study it in detail. Using the
app gives access to an additional 50 sounds, covering an even wider
range of musical genres and you can even adjust various performance
settings including the sensitivity of breath control and the bite
sensor, as well as the customization of fingering type.
*Available for iOS and Android devices Ensemble, Assemble!
The Aerophone GO Ensemble app
lets up to seven Aerophone GO players perform together wirelessly. Once
connected to this free app, each group member can access 19 sounds on
the smartphone , and each musician can choose a different sound. The
sound from the group is mixed in the smartphone, and by connecting a
small monitor speaker (such as the battery-powered Roland Cube Street
EX) everyone can hear and react to the resulting ensemble – perfect for
street performances, jam sessions or classroom learning.
*Available for iOS and Android devices
*11 onboard sounds on the Aerophone GO are not available when you use this app
Supports Traditional Sax Fingering and Authentic Breath Control
Aerophone GO is a great choice
for anyone learning a wind instrument, but it’s also compatible with
traditional sax and recorder fingering, so experienced players can use
familiar playing techniques. A sensitive mouthpiece-mounted breath
sensor also functions as a bite sensor, supporting expressive techniques
like vibrato and pitch. Beginners can enjoy playing the onboard sounds
right away, while more experienced performers will appreciate that they
can play Aerophone GO without having to learn a new fingering system or
adapt their existing technique.
Get To Grips with Note Transposition
If you want to play the
saxophone, understanding transposition is essential. The sax is a
transposing instrument, which means that the key in which you play
sounds different to what’s written on the music score. For example, if a
guitarist, pianist and a saxophonist are jamming in the key of C, the
sax will be playing the key of A for an alto sax, or D for a tenor sax.
The Aerophone GO’s Transpose function makes it easier to transpose
between what you’re reading, what you’re playing and what you’re
hearing.
