Great video you explain everything so well Roland are very lucky to have you as are we in Isax 🙏
The scale tuning feature is amazing. This has proven to be the primo wind synth.
Thank you, Alistair, for yet another amazingly thoughtful, insightful, and informative video.
My pleasure!
Another great masterclass in the demonstration of the Aerophone
Very kind of you Michael.
Wonderful news! Thank you for keeping us informed!
Any time!
AWWWE YEEEAAH! This is a great presentation of the update! Thank you so much for this.
Glad you like it!
another great video, Thanks Alistair
Thanks again!
Great video especially the sampling bit. Hopefully Roland will produce another soudfont to svz converter that works with the Aerophone!
Very good video with great depth
Much appreciated!
Excellent video and another great update for the AE-30. 👍
I'm sure I'm not the only person hoping someone figures out how to bypass the Fantom ...or Roland magnanimously enabling common multisample formats so that people can create their own sample packs on the Roland SP-404 or Akai MPC or import their favourite computer multisamples.
A good point you make about sampling saxophones. For me the joy of sampling is creating imaginative sounds. I built a whole song around samples sliced from a recording of me using an electric snow blower to clear my driveway!
You are incredible my friend. THANK YOUUUUUIIII
Thank you.
Just like the iPhone etc. a lot more than the average player would ever need but on saying that I would imagine that you would take whatever you want/need to suit your requirements. Great work Alistair, thank you.
Fantástico!!
Muchas gracias Alistair
Thanks. ✔️
Thanks for sharing! Microtonal scale tuning is a huge improvement for eastern music players 🙂(If I was nitpicking I would say that some oriental scales exceed the octave...)
Good point!
S1/S2 status indicators… ***YAY***!!!!🎉
Yes indeed 😀
Thank you for another great video. These are well done and much appreciated. I am very impressed with the intelligent harmony and would very much like to have it on my AE-20. I am very disappointed that this is not being offered on the AE-20, which I own and love. I would love to share in the excitement of this new update, which is fantastic, but Roland appears to have excluded those of us who own the AE-20. Unfortunately, I sense a trend. It appears that Roland will continue to add new and exciting features to the 30, and allow the 20 to gradually become outdated. I hope that this is not the case. Are there plans to share this update with the 20? I understand the need to continue to support the flagship model to stimulate sales, but will feel somewhat cheated if the 20 is neglected. I do appreciate the new version 1.2 for the 20, but it pales in comparison to the 30 update.
I agree, it’s a shame and I see no reason why the AE-20 should not get intelligent harmony. I understand why it can’t get the sample import, that requires different hardware.
However, perhaps from an AE-30 perspective, they might have been disappointed that the AE-20 was really close to the AE-30 and costs less. Having spent the extra money they are now enjoying those extra benefits of the flagship model, which makes sense.
I’m sure Roland will keep supporting the AE-20. Remember that’s newer hardware than the 30 so they won’t forget it.
This update certainly seems to further differentiate the models.
I've ordered my ae20 yesterday. I agree with Alistair and hope that the feature will come for the Ae20 too. A compromise would be if the AE20 supported only chords with up to 4 chord tones (including the note which is played). Due to the fact that the Ae 30 currently supports intelligent harmony with up to 5 chord tones, this would still somewhat set them apart.
Thanks for another great video Alistair! Your videos going back to the early EWI videos have been hugely helpful and informative. I am wondering if you or someone else in the community could helpl me figure out how to have my Aerophone Pro send aftertouch data to my Korg iM1 app on my iPad Pro. I have watched your soft synth video and I have everything working great with Thor, Moog and the rest of my softsysnths just can't get the aftertouch for the Korg iM1 figured out! I was able to make this work with my EWI 4000s for years...just can't get the AE-30 to communicate with this app!
Hi. I assume you’ve tried setting the breath sensor to send out aftertouch?
Thank you Alistair. Nice possibility, about the intelligent harmony type, but it seems a little complicate..!
A question: the new upgrade of the Roland Pro Editor consent the use of Intelligent Harmony with the old version of Aerophone Pro Ae 30 (the first..)?
So sorry. I don’t quite understand your question.
The Aerophone Pro app has also been updated to allow the new features.
All AE-30 models versions can updated to V3.
I'm the one who apologizes for my English... anyway you gave me the answer I was waiting for. Thank you!
Does anyone know of any communities that have people that share their sampling imports so that we could download on aerophone?
I have a question for anyone, is there a way to add and /or Delete a single tone in the user section or do I have to download the entire pack if I am getting them from the cloud. Like for example can I just add the va simple saw from the Essential saw pack on the Roland cloud?
Hi. Just be careful with terminology here. A scene can be made of up to 4 tones.
If you mean can you import a single scene, yes that’s possible with the USB import option. There’s also an option to import a single tone.
Just follow the onscreen instructions carefully.
Hi Alistair, your Aerophone videos are great! Just going to update my ae30. Do you know if there is a way you can microtune on V3 and link them with conventional saxophone quarter tone fingerings? Hope all's well with you.
Hey Carl.
Flattered that you would watch my videos and pleased you have an Aerophone.
As for your question, not as far as I can work out. You can only use up to 12 semitone steps per tone (as in sound). So you’d be limited.
However you do give me an idea that a scene could be made with two tones that would sit in different octaves but play at the same pitch. So a kind of split scene. The second tone could be then altered with the scale turning. You’d then play the quarter tone by playing a different octave key. The same could be done using the motion sensor or a foot pedal to switch to the quarter tone. Not a great solution but feasible.
This is all thinking aloud but if you’d like to chat further give me a shout.
All the best.
@@isax.academy what a great idea. I guess I'd lose an octave or two of range. I've been messing with using the aerophone with max MSP and also with Kontakt. I wish there was a way to easily program fingerings and then upload/dump fingerings easily. Would you mind if I picked your brains via email? Thanks so much for getting back...
Of course. Andy also has my number.
@Carl Raven. You set me off on this.
Something to try.
On the Aerophone menu go to key function and (in my case) select tc.
Set it to off.
On the app select your sound (with one tone for now) and go to internal.
Scroll to Tc and set it to bend down.
Press value around 30
Curve 5
Now on any note you play, the side c key will lower the pitch by around a 1/4 tone.
Again not ideal but it works.
How do I update my AE20 with this software?
This particular update is for the AE-30 only. That does not mean that these features will never be available for the AE-20. If and when Roland creates an update for the AE-20 it should be posted in the AE-20 Support section on the Roland web site.
Hi Alistair, thank you for your video. I just updated my AE-20 to v1.20. However, there seems to be a firmware change (bug?) in the System Transpose setting. With v1.11, when I set S1 and S2 to system transpose UP and DOWN and Transpose Mode is System, using S1/S2 to set the key, the key will not change even if I change scene, but not with this latest v1.20. Only rotary button will keep the same key even scene change. This creates problem because I cannot keep the same key when I change scene during playing using S1/S2 for quick key change. I am not able to find Roland Support Request Form. Is your AE-20 having the same after updating?
Forgive me. I don’t quite understand this.
Are there some typos?
I wonder if the update changed some settings that you need to check?
Did you do a reset after the update?
@@isax.academy Thank you for your reply. Yes, I did reset after update.
What I mean is I used to use S1 and S2 to set key for a song, when "Transpose Mode" is "System", this key will not change even if I change to different scene. But not after latest update.
Sign me up if any of these gives a good way to add more resistance to the airflow of Aerophones….
I know some people have tied covering the pipe outlet at the bottom of the instrument, either partially or fully.
Argh! error says "website under maintenance, please be patient". OK, I'll try in a few hours then...
Awesome update! Love the intelligent harmony; they WERE listening to us. :)
Hi Alistair. I’m having trouble transferring the download onto the USB stick and then onto the Aerophone,Any advice please
Have you checked if the USB stick has been formated correctly? It has to be FAT32. Had to re-format my NTSC stick.
@@wingmansion brilliant. Sorted it. Thanks 🙏
Hi Alistair
I downloaded version 3 to my Pro, and oh no, I didn't like the new sax sounds. It also removed one of my favourites, which was the tenor sax growl. I also preferred the ild tenor 1. Can I get them back. HELP!!
I’ve never tried to step backwards in firmware. I’ll try to see if it’s possible.
I’m pretty sure you can recreate the tenor growl sound with a little editing. As far as I understand the changes to the sax sounds were only in the speed of the attack. Maybe you could work with the new versions to get used to those very small changes? To be honest I don’t use the sax sounds so I’ve not noticed the changes significantly.
@@isax.academy thank you Alistair. I'll let you know if I find a solution. P
Would you recommend this over the 20 ?
Hi there. Do you mean would I recommend AE-30 over the AE-20?
That entirely depends of your use case.
If you want the best then get the AE-30 but many won’t ever make use of some of the extra features.
Subtitles are required.
No
그런데 유튜브 채널에 자막을 안넣으시다니!!!!!
@@nuttysquirrel8574 Going to the second half, it seems that there are no subtitles.
@@user-zi4he2ck5z That's strange then as subtitles appear throughout the video for me??
I think there may be different RUclips options available based on the platform and/or device you are trying to display the RUclips video on not to mention that there may be different options if you are accessing RUclips via the web site. One possible approach is to turn on Close Captioning(CC). Usually that presents an option to display CC in the native language. There may be an Auto Translate option available that hopefully will allow you to select your native language.
