The Greaten AP 300 Pro elevates the digital wind instrument experience for seasoned players. It boasts an expanded sound library of 108 high-quality voices with 8GB sound samples, including a wider selection of ethnic instruments for global musical exploration. The AP 300 Pro’s refined 7-octave metal roller provides even greater precision when navigating pitches. A new Pro edition is the integrated equalizer, allowing you to sculpt your sound and achieve the perfect sonic signature. While it retains the AP 300’s built-in speaker and Bluetooth connectivity, the AP 300 Pro caters to the needs of professional musicians seeking a more comprehensive digital wind instrument experience. And the good thing is we can update the firmware of AP 300 Pro by connecting it to a computer running Microsoft Windows and using the update tools to install the updated firmware.

You Can Call Me Al – Whistle Solo

Greaten AP200/AP300
There seems to be more Electronic Wind Instruments out there than I know. Here is a company called Greaten, which makes TWO versions of an EWI. The difference between them can be found here.

Roland Aerophone AE-30 Repair
Things break….and usually at the worst time. Case in point…..I had a gig literally 2 days before Christmas. I had a rehearsal for it 5 days before. No problem, packed up the saxophones, the flute, stands, and AE-30. Get to the rehearsal……no sound from the AE-30. Huh. Bad cable? No. It was turning on. Volume…
AE-20 Stand Adapter
Having a 3D printer is a LOT of fun. Yes, you end up printing random shit, but at some point, you decide you want to fix a problem. My problem was getting some sort of stand adapter for an Aerophone AE-20 that would fit on my flute/clarinet peg. There was someone who made one for…
DYI EWI?
Ok, this is rather cool. Someone has some OpenSCAD and STL of an “aspirational” EWI project. This would be rather nice to see finished. Anyone?
Aerophone AE-30 Stand Adapter
If you play the Aerophone solo, ie not in conjunction with like playing saxophone or something, I think the Aerophone stand you should get is the Koldot Digital Wind Instrument Holder. However, if you are playing saxophone, or saxophones, it get’s a little cramped having lots of stands around. And those stands have their own…
