USB AC Adaptor Set to the “USB” position
NOTE
If you are using the app on an Android smartphone that’s
connected via a USB cable, set the power select switch to
“BATTERY” so that the unit is powered by batteries.
Using the “USB” position might cause problems, such as the
battery of your smartphone running down.
BATTERY
When using batteries
Insert four rechargeable Ni-MH (AA) batteries. This allows
approximately 10 hours of playing.
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the
buttons and knobs from damage. Also, handle the unit
carefully; do not drop it.
* Battery life can vary depending on the specications of the
batteries, capacity of the batteries, and the conditions of use.
* When the batteries run low, the power LED (orange) blinks.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion uid
leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items
related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY”
(p. 10) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 11).
Turning the Aerophone GO on
Set the [L] switch to “ON.” If you’re using the Aerophone GO with
an app that’s installed on your smartphone, set this to the “ “

* The power to this unit will be turned o automatically after
a predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last
used for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated
(Auto O function). To prevent the power from turning o
automatically, make settings in the app to disable the Auto O
function. To turn the power on again, set the [L] switch to the
“OFF” position, and then move it back to the “ON” position.
* When you turn the power switch “OFF,” the power LED blinks
and the shutdown process occurs. Do not remove the batteries
or disconnect the USB AC adaptor until the LED goes dark.
Wrapping the Band

Before You Play
Selecting the Base Key
The sax is a transposing instrument. The note symbol written
in the musical score diers from the note pitch that is actually
sounded. In the case of an alto sax, the note written as “C” on the
musical score actually sounds the “E ” pitch.
1. Use the [TRANSPOSE] knob to specify the base key
(the pitch that is sounded by the “C” ngering).
For example, if you want to perform using the same ngering
as an alto sax or baritone sax, set this to “E ” (+3). If you want to
perform using the same ngering as a soprano sax or tenor sax,
set this to “B ” (-2).
Selecting a Tone
Use the [TONE] knob select a sound in the range of “1”–”11.”

Other Preparations
Make the following preparations as necessary.
Connecting Your Headphones or External Speakers
Since the Aerophone GO is equipped with a built-in speaker, it can
produce sound by itself. If you want to connect headphones or an
external speaker, connect them to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack.
* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn
down the volume, and turn o all the units before making any
connections.
Headphones
Since sound is not produced by the builtin speaker of the Aerophone GO, this is
convenient for night-time practice.
External speakers
Since this allows high volume to be
produced, it is convenient when you’re
performing live for a large number of people.
Mode Settings
You can specify how the sound is aected by the force of your
breath, the depth of reverberation, and the type of ngering.
& For details on how to make these settings, refer to
“Changing the Settings” (p. 7).

You’re in settings mode.
* When you play in settings mode, you hear the
tone that you were previously playing.
2. Press the side key that corresponds to the item that
you want to set.
A “beep” is heard for a number of times corresponding to the
current value of the setting.
3. Use the octave keys to specify the value of the
setting.
A “beep” is heard for a number of times corresponding to the
specied value.
* The value that you specify is saved automatically. Even if you
turn o the power, the setting is remembered the next time
that you turn on the power.

We recommend these settings if you’re a beginning wind
instrument player, or if you’re not condent of your lung
capacity. Fortissimo () can be produced even by blowing
relatively softly.
This setting is the closest to the response of an actual wind
instrument.
We recommend these settings for sax players. Fortissimo ()
is produced only when you blow quite strongly.
Recorder ngering
This uses standard recorder ngering, with the pitch range expanded by the table key.
With this ngering, the side keys are disabled so that the note does not change even if
you inadvertently press the left or right side key.

Editing the Aerophone GO from your smartphone
In step 4 of the procedure,
could you have tapped a
model name “AE-05“ shown
on the smartphone?
Android users
When you play the sounds of the Aerophone GO through your
smartphone, the sound might be delayed in some cases. If so,
connect the Aerophone GO with your smartphone using the
included USB cable (micro B or type C).
& Refer to “Connect the Included USB Cable” (p. 3).
Set the [L] switch to the “ ”
position.
In your smartphone’s settings, turn
Bluetooth on.
If it is “on” but you still can’t connect,
try turning it “o ” and then “on” again;
this might allow connection to occur.
In step 4 of the connection
procedure, do not tap “AE-05” even
if it is shown on your smartphone.
If you tapped it, temporarily cancel
pairing on your smartphone, turn
the Bluetooth functionality “o,” and
then “on” again. Try the connection
procedure again from step 1.
Maintaining the Mouthpiece
The maintenance needed for a
conventional saxophone is not necessary.
If the mouthpiece becomes soiled from
playing, remove the mouthpiece, wash it
with water, and use a soft cloth to dry o
any water droplets.
As shown in the illustration, insert the
mouthpiece all the way until the concave
and convex portions align.
NOTE
5 If the mouthpiece is not inserted all the way, you won’t be
able to control the tone by the strength with which you bite
the reed.
5 When removing or attaching the
mouthpiece, take care not to bend
the bite bar.
5 Take care not to hurt your hand
on the screw that’s inside the
mouthpiece.
5 When attaching the mouthpiece,
take care not to pinch your nger
between the movable part and the
body of the instrument. Applying
commercially available recorder
cream makes attachment and removal easier.
