Roland Aerophone Brisa Digital Wind Instrument

The Aerophone Brisa is a digital wind instrument that adopts the design and fingerings of the flute while maintaining various benefits unique to the Aerophone series: varied sound options, high-sensitivity sensors, ease of use, and customization.

It comes equipped with a newly developed sound engine tailored for the unique articulations of wind instruments and a series of tone options, from acoustic winds to modern synths, which allow users to explore the possibility of musical performance.

Brisa means "light wind" or "breeze" in Spanish and other languages. It offers a unique variety of wind instruments, allowing you to enjoy a robust performance experience. All the while, it makes playing a breeze.

Equipped with two advanced breath sensors, Aerophone Brisa enables octave switching when in "Flute Mode." This allows for more expressive, natural wind control, bringing your performance closer to the feel of an acoustic instrument.

Designed to meet the needs of a wide range of players, Aerophone Brisa offers multiple fingering modes. These include the newly developed beginner-friendly "Brisa Mode," as well as "Flute Mode" and "Trumpet Mode" for those with experience playing acoustic wind instruments. Whether you're just starting or an experienced player, you'll find a mode to suit your style.
