Many thanks Stephen.

Sounds like a great setup. 👏

Thank you and good luck

As a follow up, mine arrived yesterday. Since I won't "officially" get it until my birthday in July, I did test it to make sure it worked. Everything seems to work. I tried it with the speakers that I use for my keyboard. The on-board sounds are MUCH better that way than through the small built-in speaker. I think I will enjoy the instrument since I will mainly use it for "fun" and maybe a little playing at church or something. Mine did come with the conical mouthpiece. I think this is standard in the U.S. Would you recommend purchasing the AE-05 mouthpiece?

Hey, that’s great. So glad you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy your aerophone. Welcome to the community.

Thanks very much for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching.

Many thanks for watching.

+Dan Tong Many thanks Dan.

+Tom Marvan You can program some fingerings, yes.

Thanks again for watching. Subscribers are so important to me. All the best.

+Rik P Hi. You can connect a USB cable to the iPad or a computer and send midi directly over USB rather than Bluetooth. I’ve used the Mini and the GO like this.

I guess two things. One is portability the other is Bluetooth.

TooSlowTube The other video will be posted soon. Sorry for the wait.

@@isax.academy Thanks, Alistair. I almost certainly won't buy one, but I'm still interested.

Hi. You can set the instrument so you don't have to blow so hard to make the loudest sound. Yes the volume is controlled by the air flow.

@@isax.academy Thanks Alistair. Sounds ideal for me. I may well invest in the new year.

+Adam Smith Forgove me. What is MPE?

No I'm afraid that wound work at all.

You could watch my series of videos on the Aerophone GO. Theres lots of advice there which pretty much all applies to the AE-01 equally well included using apps like the Moog and Thor synth apps,

+Chestnut Bowl At the moment there are only a dozen or so lessons and I hope that Roland will add more both easier and more difficult. I’d suggest working from a saxophone tutor book in addition to the app lessons would be good. As always there’s no replacing a good teacher. You could save years.

+Chestnut Bowl Not that much really. I’m hoping they’ll augment them over time.

+khargrar n'rhan many thanks. Yes low C can be played with the right little finger.

No, the Roland app is free

Just like a regular usb midi keyboard would work only with greater expression.

Hi there. You can play most Aerophones with one hand. You should double check first but I think they all do. There’s a special fingering system that allows a fully chromatic scale with either left or right hand only.

@@isax.academy would you be willing to walk me through some of this stuff. I have never played a wind instrument but am quite willing to learn it. You mentioned how easy it is to learn. And that the instrument itself helps you to do it. What I need help with would be picking the right one. Of course, when I see the high end instrument, I’m motivated to master it. But I think starting with a simpler instrument would probably be better. So I guess I would like something mid grade. Something that would allow me to tap into garage band on my iPad and such. Price is something I’ll have to figure out. I don’t know how much I would have to invest. But I want to play some thing that will allow me to use synthesized sounds. I have so much music inside of me I can’t get out because my being an amputee has been frustrating. Thank you for your response to me. Hopefully will be able to talk or text or email a little bit. Cheers

There is still work being done to improve the firmware on the AE-10. There is a Facebook group.

@@isax.academy Thanks, I'm a beginner Sax, WW player hoping to augment my show. I have been a musician for over 50 years, but there are clearly some things about the AE 10, that do not have a correlation to a traditional Sax or WW. I could be mistaken, but I've struggling a b it. Hopefully this will shed some light.

+1POODAH POODAH Yes it can.

Unfortunately not possible. The AE-01 does not have a bite sensor. Some sounds will have an automatic vibrato programmed into the sound.

Hi. Yes you could connect the iPad to the Aerophone mini over Bluetooth. Then you could play the sound from the iPad and the internal sound from the aerophone at the same time. Through headphones if you want to. The sounds on the aerophone mini are very similar to the sounds on the aerophone go in terms of quality. Of course if you want the best quality sounds then the aerophone AE10 is the best choice.

@@isax.academy Thank you=)))

+wikichris hi. I’m embarrassed to say I don’t thoroughly know all the fingerings on the recorder but I have been teaching this system on the acoustic saxophone for nearly 40 years.To the best of my knowledge the clarinet in its upper register, the flute and the recorder all use a very similar if not identical system for the main seven notes fingering.Of course the sharps and flats will have variations for each instrument and do not use the same system with the little finger that the aerophone Mini has.

Yes it can play brass fingerings.

Always difficult to give a definitive answer but yes I do think you'd find the Aerophone more straight forward to learn.

+Otrie Barrett Jr To my knowledge not directly. You would need to go via a computer or there is a device made by Kenton I believe that should convert the USB to midi for you.

The AE-01 has a mini Jack out. Just get the right cable to suite the input on the amp.

The one I use in the video is the AE-05MPH. I believe it’s the same mouthpiece for the 01, 05 and the Aerophone Pro.

@@isax.academy Thank you!!

Yes the Mini would work with SWAM but of course you have some limitations in the expression due to no lip control. There are people around who can give lessons but like me they are probably quite full with their teaching schedules. The Aerophone AE-05 would be a great choice for younger player or possibly the Akai SOLO. I don't know of anyone really trying to get these into schools. Generally there is a lack of awareness on these which is a shame.

Essentially it works just like a keyboard so yes you can take the audio out from the Aerophone and connect to a mixer or audio input on a device. As far as midi/usb out I don’t think you can go directly USB out of the Aerophone to usb in on a sound module or other keyboard. You’d need to go via a computer I think. Sorry I have no experience with the Groovbox.

For 707 you can use cme widi master to ae01 via bluetooth

Hi. I'm afraid you can't upload new sounds to the AE-01

@@isax.academy Thanks for the reply!

Yes. You can use any Aerophone as a midi controller.

+Luciano Notarfrancesco He. You need to go through either a computer or some kind of interface which allowed USB in and midi out. There is such a device made by a company called Kenton I believe.

Is there any latency when you use the app ?

@@45zapatero too much Latency

Cme widi master will do the trick connect via Bluetooth

Hi Carlos. Do you mean what is the best Aerophone for a clarinet player?

iSax - Alistair Parnell Hello Alistair! Among all the air midi controllers on the market, which one is better for a clarinet player? No matter the brand, Akai, Roland, Yamaha, Sylphyo ... Thank you very much!

I’m afraid I don’t have any experience with Android stuff and I have heard of some Android devices having latency issues. Those seem to be with all audio apps not just the Aerophone. Perhaps there’s a way you could test your device with another audio app first and see what the delay is like?

@@isax.academy Thanks so much for the reply. That's some good thinking you did there but I intended to buy a tablet for the purpose as my phone is no way good enough. Apple stuff of course is very expensive. I'll give it some more though.

You can connect in three ways. Theres bluetooth to connect to a computer or other device. Theres audio out to go straight to a speaker and theres USB to connect to a computer or device. I do have a video on the AE-05 that covers connections. The AE-01 works in the same way.

I'm not sure about this I'm afraid. Do ragas need specific tunings for individual notes?

@@isax.academy Yeah, there are microtones involved with that

The learning function is new and pretty sound for skill tests!

Unfortunately not.

@@isax.academy shame, thanks for speedy reply

@@isax.academy and please do you know if the app works with Aerophone GO ? thank's a lot.

Yes indeed.

@@isax.academy How does that connect to iMac. Is it via bluetooth

Hi. It works just like a keyboard so you can connect the audio out of the aerophone directly into your interface or use it as a midi controller to control sample instruments within your DAW.

@@isax.academy 🙏👍🤝

Hi. Did you download it from your App Store?

@@isax.academy It's not in the app store. Only the ae10 is there

Try this link for iOS apps.apple.com/gb/app/aerophone-mini-plus/id1460557255

@@isax.academy It's not in the app store to download

Hi. Just checked. Yes there is a bagpipe sound on the app. Not sure how good it is though.

Hi. So most wind instruments have a basic 6 holes then additional keys. For me the AE-01 has 6 basic holes and the 7th is really a little finger key.

So what is the 7th key used for?

Thank you
