Explanation

Adjusting the Volume

You generally adjust the volume by the strength of your breath when performing, but you can also set the volume in the
menu. This changes the volume of the speaker and the PHONES/OUTPUT jack.

Changing the Master Tuning

Changes the tuning of the Aerophone.
The displayed value is the frequency of the A key. With the factory settings, the Aerophone's tuning is set to A=440.0 Hz, but
you can change this to some other tuning such as 442.0 Hz.

Adjusting the Breath Sensitivity

Specifies how the sound responds to the force of your breath.
L2, L1
Fortissimo (ff ) can be produced even by blowing relatively softly.
M
This setting is the closest to the response of an actual wind instrument.
H1, H2
Fortissimo (ff ) is produced only when you blow quite strongly.

Changing the Key (Transpose)

Transposes the pitch range of the tone in semitone steps.
-5
-4
-3
If this is set to "0, " the "C" fingering in the "Fingering Chart" at the end of this manual produces the pitch C.
The alto saxophone whose base key is "E " is set to a transpose setting of "+3, " and the soprano saxophone whose base key is
"B " is set to "-2. "

Octave Shift Setting

Shifts the pitch range of the tone in one-octave steps.
The octave shift value is set appropriately for each tone so that it will have the appropriate pitch range. For example, this is set
to "0" for the soprano saxophone, "-1" for the alto saxophone, and "-2" for the baritone saxophone.

Reverb Setting

Adjusts the depth of reverb (the reverberation that is characteristic of a performance in a concert hall).

Chorus Setting

Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect.
Chorus is an effect that creates a beautiful spaciousness and depth by adding a slightly modulated sound.

Multi-Effect Setting

Specifies the depth of the effect that's assigned to each tone.
* The effect type is set for each tone; it cannot be selected on the Aerophone.

Bite Sensor Control Setting

For each tone, this specifies the parameter that's controlled by the bite sensor (the strength with which you bite the
mouthpiece).
PIT

VIB
Vibrato depth

Thumb Controller Up/Down (Bend Up/Down) Setting

Specifies whether thumb controller up/down (bend up/down) is enabled or disabled.

Bend Range Setting

Specifies the thumb controller up/down (bend up/down) bend range in semitone units.

Thumb Controller Left/Right Assignment Setting

For each tone, this assigns the parameter that is controlled by the thumb controller (left/right).
