## What is Aerophone Editor?

Customize Your Aerophone for Maximum Expression

The Aerophone Editor is a free iOS app for the Aerophone AE-10 that lets you adjust tones, set various playing parameters, and organize tone lists. You’re able to deeply customize sounds and functions with parameters only available in the app, and easily create tone lists for different performance and practice situations. Via a convenient interface, you have access to four tone layers, various controller assignments, effects settings, and more. The Aerophone Editor is a must-have tool to perfectly tailor your Aerophone AE-10 for your own personal playing style.

•	Create personalized sounds with up to four layered tones
•	Build tone lists to fit various playing situations
•	Extensive tone editing parameters, including many not available on the instrument itself
•	Customize breath, bite, and thumb control assignments
•	Comprehensive effects editing
•	Requires AE-10 System Version 2.10 or later
•	Apple USB camera adapter required (*)

Create Your Own Tones with Up to Four Layers

Most of the preset sounds in the Aerophone AE-10 consist of up to four different tones that are layered together. Now, the Aerophone Editor unlocks the ability to create your own multi-layered tones. You can blend synth leads with acoustic sax sounds, or build many unique combinations for different songs and styles. And by manipulating detailed tone parameters such as key range, panning, and pitch, you can set up the Aerophone AE-10 to realize further expressive possibilities.

Fine-Tune the Aerophone for Your Personal Style and Playing Touch

Using advanced editing features only available in the app, you’re able to personalize your Aerophone AE-10 to a deep level. Detailed breath, bite, and thumb control assignments allow you to dial in the perfect response for your unique musical expressions. In addition, onboard effects such as reverb, chorus, and MFX can be adjusted to help your performances shine. It’s also possible to customize external MIDI control information, making the Aerophone AE-10 even more powerful when triggering external sound modules and software-based instruments.

Build Custom Tone Lists for Different Playing Situations

The Library function in the Aerophone Editor makes it easy to organize both custom and preset sounds into tone lists. This allows you to quickly outfit the Aerophone AE-10 for specific gigs, playing styles, and practice regimens. It’s possible to save nearly unlimited tone lists, giving you the power to reconfigure your instrument for virtually any situation. In addition to local storage on your iPhone or iPad, tone list files can be uploaded to iCloud for backup, remote access, and sharing with other Aerophone players.

* The Aerophone AE-10 communicates with an iOS device via USB. To connect a USB cable to your device, an Apple USB camera adapter is required. Use a cable with a USB Type B connector on one end (for the Aerophone AE-10) and a connector appropriate for the USB camera adapter on the other.

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2023-02-15*

Hasn’t been updated in years and doesn’t work with the latest ae-10 update. Pretty pathetic for a Roland product. Do better.

### 1/5 — App does work properly

*2022-04-05*

Many have written since the upgrade to version 3.0 the app does not work correctly and only imports the user presets (only 100) from the Aerophone. Why has Roland not addressed this issue for a couple of years already. Very disappointed that they seem to have abandoned this model!

### 5/5 — it works

*2021-10-22*

no patch is needed. you load sounds from the user bank.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-04-26*

Cannot import or edit sounds - firmware V3.00 doesn’t import the tones from my AE-10 when connected to either my iPhone or iPad.
When is this going to be fixed?

### 1/5 — No support, no Updates

*2020-04-06*

I’ve bought the Aerophone a year ago. The firmware has had many updates but the app hasn’t updated in more than a year. You can’t import the sounds from your Aerophone anymore, neither use the editor to make layered sounds.

### 1/5 — Hasn’t been updated in 2 years

*2020-03-20*

I don’t see how this app is useful for the ae-10 with firmware v3.0.  It’s a shame because I’m having way too much fun with the aerophone, and having a quicker way to edit onboard sounds would have been nice.

### 3/5 — Please update with new features

*2020-03-18*

Good app for the Aerophone but seems to have been neglected as the last version was two years ago! Please add features to this app that are found for the Aerophone GO app such as Karaoke, etc thanks!

### 1/5 — Update the app

*2020-01-31*

why hasn’t this app been updated with all the internal sounds of the aerophone .... been more than a year for an update.... every other app out there has been updated multiple times over the course..... keep making things better..... we all bought the aerophone because akai did not keep up with the times, and now roland does the same thing

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2019-12-20*

This app will frustrate you for sure, it works intermittently. I have tried it with an iPhone 6, and an android device, no luck.

### 1/5 — This app needs a patch...

*2019-10-01*

I was excited to buy this instrument, but disappointed when I couldn’t layer instruments.  App just doesn’t recognize device.
