The Aerophone Brisa from Roland is a professional wind instrument with transverse flute fingering and state-of-the-art SuperNATURAL Winds sounds. The very light and responsive response of the AE-Brisa ensures an easy and intuitive playing feel. In addition, the fingering can be easily adapted to different instruments such as saxophone, clarinet, flute and even trumpet. On top of this, the instrument scores with high-quality materials, an easy-to-read OLED display and is equipped with professional connections.
With its 100 sounds, the Aerophone Brisa offers an overwhelming selection of different instruments. Whether flute, saxophone, trumpet or string instruments, the large selection sets no limits to creativity. Even the worldly sounds of the pan flute or shakuhachi are available. Synthesizers and drum sounds round off the modern sonority of the AE-brisa.
The dual breath sensor system leaves nothing to be desired. Articulating and blowing the notes feels very natural. Thanks to the sensors, you don't need any previous knowledge of playing the flute. The sound is produced directly by blowing into it.
In addition, different fingerings can be selected.
Unlimited freedom is guaranteed thanks to the integrated speaker, headphone connection and rechargeable battery.
The USB-C port allows audio/midi data to be exchanged using music production software. Furthermore, MIDI data can be sent wirelessly to Bluetooth-enabled devices via
Thanks to the Roland app, additional functions can be used via smartphone or tablet. Using the app gives you access to additional sounds in the Roland Cloud.

Roland Aerophone BrisaI have been asked to review my purchase of the Roland Aerophone Brisa which I am happy to do but please bear in mind my very limited exposure to this instrument. Even though the extensive onboard capabilities of this instrument are numerous, of which I haven't accessed many, it does not negate my views on its initial handling and execution of its basic function to make music.
Being a flute player, but not having prior experience of any kind of DWI, I had hopes that this may prove to be a useful addition to my skillset. I had watched all the available videos prior to purchase but not until I got one in my hands could I properly assess it.
Although it is the first DWI to be built in a transverse manner familiar to flutists, the embouchure is structured differently so it cannot be played precisely like a flute. It comes with a full onboard set of synth sounds from instruments I've not even heard the name of so the menu is extremely extensive. All this I knew, but was not ready for the imprecise nature of generating sound between notes and octaves. Generating a sound is relatively easy, although not rock solid, but articulating it was overly difficult for me, so although I had less than an hour getting to grips with it I knew I was not comfortable with its approach to sound generation.
The cheap feeling of the keys was also not a favourable point and the G# lever is positioned too close to the G key. Overall it looks impressive but doesn't feel a premium product and more importantly I was not happy with the lack of repeatability between deciding when I should be blowing more into the top aperture. Case in point - 2nd octave triplet run (C#, D#, G#) played quietly. It repeatedly played the G# an octave lower and became far too troublesome to nail.
Many people used to this kind of instrument may find its behaviour easy to grasp and master but I do not have the time nor inclination to persevere. It really is nothing like playing a flute - so if you are mildly interested bear that in mind.
Music Store were exemplary in their efficient and professional handling of the return.
