Description

The Aerophone GO Digital Wind Instrument from Roland is a portable, digital wind instrument with eleven expressive onboard instrument sounds such as alto sax, tenor sax, soprano sax, and baritone sax. Other sounds include: flute, clarinet, violin, muted trumpet, saw lead, square lead, and percussion. The Aerophone GO can be used to play or practice anywhere, thanks to rechargeable battery operation and a built-in speaker. A headphone jack allows you to practice and perform privately, without disturbing others.

The Aerophone GO connects to your smartphone wirelessly using Bluetooth ver 4.2 and allows you to access extra sounds, play along with your favorite songs, or start an ensemble performance with up to six friends. If you’ve ever wanted to play the saxophone (or flute, clarinet, and many more), the Aerophone GO is a fun and exciting way to get started and keep on going. A neck strap, carry bag, mouthpiece cap, and USB cable are included.

Various Wind Instrument Sounds

With 11 onboard wind instrument sounds—including soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone sax—Aerophone GO lets you explore a multitude of musical genres. Other sounds include: flute, clarinet, violin, muted trumpet, saw lead, square lead, and percussion. But even if sax is your preferred instrument, playing violin, clarinet, or even synth lead can be fun and inspiring.

Portable, Rechargeable-Battery Powered

The Aerophone GO is portable, powered by four rechargeable NI-MH (AA) batteries (sold separately) so you can play anywhere. The built-in speaker delivers high-quality sound wherever you want to play, without needing external speakers and connections. The headphone jack means you can play any time of the day or night without disturbing family or neighbors; just choose a sound, set the volume, and start playing.

Connect with Bluetooth

When you use Bluetooth to wirelessly connect with your smartphone, things become even more exciting. Downloading the free Aerophone GO Plus app invites you to explore even further, adding 50 additional sounds and letting you customize the onboard settings to suit your personal style.

Aerophone GO Plus App

The Aerophone GO Plus app also lets you play along with your 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.

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, everyone can hear and react to the resulting ensemble—perfect for street performances, jam sessions, or classroom learning.
