Roland AE-30 Aerophone Pro Digital Wind Instrument

A new voice for wind players.

Roland’s Aerophone series has opened a new world of creative possibilities for wind instrument players, and Aerophone Pro delivers the most expressive and playable experience yet. With a refined design, premium components, and a vast sonic palette from our most advanced sound engines, Aerophone Pro takes your music where it’s never gone before.

Enhanced by experts.

While developing the Aerophone Pro, we reached out to expert wind players around the globe to see how we could take the Aerophone experience to the next level. Their feedback led to many thoughtful improvements that substantially enhance the instrument’s look, feel, sound, and playability. The result is a revolutionary wind instrument that gives musicians a new and highly expressive voice.



Refined design.

With just one look at the Aerophone Pro, you’ll notice the sleek new design and premium materials. The shape not only looks great, but is thinner and easier to hold for a more confident playing experience. Controls are easy to reach, and the streamlined body with aluminum accents exude an understated-yet-classy appearance. The discrete OLED screen feels like an integral part of the instrument and can be viewed at any angle in any kind of lighting.


Play with passion.

Aerophone Pro makes it easy to channel your creativity and lose yourself in the moment. Fingering is the same as an acoustic sax and includes a high-F# key, so you already know how to play it. And configurable controls for both hands and a MIDI input for footswitches greatly expand your performance options. Through extensive research and development, the breath and bite sensors are more responsive and expressive than ever, with low latency and configurable settings to suit your unique playing style.


Authentic brass, woodwinds, strings, and more.

Aerophone Pro packs an entire brass and woodwind section into a single instrument. Developed closely with professional wind instrument players, there are newly enhanced soprano, alto, and tenor saxes, vibrant new trumpet sounds, and authentic world instruments like the stunning new duduk. Our SuperNATURAL technology translates every nuance of your playing with lifelike dynamics, articulations, and overtones. Multiple custom fingerings are supported, while new controller options enable idiomatic performance techniques on a range of instruments, from mainstream to exotic.

Our best synthesizer sounds.

With Roland’s ZEN-Core Synthesis System, Aerophone Pro is an immensely capable wind synthesizer. ZEN-Core is our latest sound engine that powers flagship synthesizers like FANTOM and JUPITER-X, and Aerophone Pro features presets crafted by the world’s foremost wind synth sound designers. You get everything from vintage analog synth tones to mode

Powerful harmony and tuning features.

Newly expanded tools provide even more options for enhancing performances and playing regional music styles. The Intelligent Harmony function creates real-time harmonies based on the key and scale you set. And with a wireless footswitch like the BOSS FS-1-WL, you can turn the harmonies on/off and switch keys as you perform. There’s also a Scale Tune function for independently tuning each note on the instrument, either with ready-to-go presets or your own custom settings. This enables you to perform with different temperaments or personalize Aerophone Pro for specific music genres around the world.

Explore new sonic territory.

Roland Cloud opens a world of possibilities for expanding your sonic palette with Wave Expansions, Sound Packs, and tones created with other instruments based on the ZEN-Core Synthesis System. There are even Sound Packs designed especially for Aerophone Pro that take full advantage of its unique controls and expressive articulations.

Take the stage. And the studio.

With its robust design and flexible audio/MIDI connections, Aerophone Pro is perfect for live performances or as the centerpiece of a wind controller-based studio setup. Bluetooth MIDI provides wireless access to music production apps and external control options such as the BOSS FS-1-WL and EV-1-WL. And with a headphones jack, built-in speaker, and battery-powered operation, you can pick up and play whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.

Sound management.

Aerophone Pro’s powerful onboard editing tools let you personalize sounds on the spot. Even deeper customization is available through the editor app, where you can manage sound libraries for different playing situations. With easily selectable scene memories and favorites, you can quickly navigate the vast array of tones and mark them for instant recall. Import/export is available via the app or a USB flash drive, allowing you to swap and share scenes with other players in the Aerophone Pro community.
