Meet Roland Aerophone Brisa, an exciting evolution of the growing Aerophone platform. This elegant instrument combines the design and key layout of a traditional flute with the modern benefits of the Aerophone series, including a diverse selection of onboard sounds and deep customization options. Aerophone Brisa also features a newly developed sound engine tailored for different wind instrument styles with a special focus on the unique articulations and techniques used by flute players.
Creating with Aerophone Brisa is a comfortable and friendly experience for flutists, players of other wind instruments and beginners alike. The stylish, lightweight design offers a straight structure, responsive flute-style keys and intuitive controls, making playing effortless and enjoyable.
Aerophone Brisa features SuperNatural Winds, a bespoke Aerophone sound engine that leverages Roland's latest advancements in natural wind expression. Delivering rich, inspiring tones, it faithfully translates every breath nuance into vibrant sound, mirroring the immediate response and dynamic control of acoustic instruments.
With 100 onboard tones, Aerophone Brisa is ready to fuel limitless creative journeys. Explore a library of flute family instruments, from concert flutes and piccolos to bass and jazz flutes. Expand your range with winds such as saxophone, clarinet and trumpet, and go further with orchestral strings and world sounds like pan flute and shakuhachi. You can even perform contemporary music styles with modern synthesizers and drum sounds.
Equipped with a newly developed dual breath sensor system, Aerophone Brisa provides natural wind control that will be familiar to all types of players. In contrast with a traditional flute, sound is produced by blowing directly into the mouthpiece, simplifying the playing experience. By adjusting the head joint, it's easy to dial in the most comfortable playing angle. In flute mode, you can execute flute octave switching techniques by directing your breath between the two mouthpiece holes as you play.
Aerophone Brisa offers multiple fingering options to meet the needs of a wide range of players. Flute and trumpet modes are available, along with a Brisa mode that's ideal for saxophone and recorder players and anyone new to wind instruments. There are also special fingering modes for playing the instrument with only the right or left hand.
Aerophone Brisa's versatile digital engine allows you to add harmonies and drones to your playing, enriching solo and ensemble sessions with tonalities that typically require multiple musicians. There's also a transposition function that lets you play any musical piece with your most comfortable fingering.
There are numerous ways to control Aerophone Brisa sounds in real time, unlocking novel performance approaches. Use the thumb and S1/S2 buttons to enhance tones with harmonies and unique expressive colors. And with the instrument's integrated motion sensor, you can apply vibrato, pitch bend and other effects with simple body movements.
Aerophone Brisa flows everywhere your creative life takes you. With the onboard speaker, headphone jack and rechargeable battery, you can play anytime and anywhere. The USB-C port provides audio/MIDI communication with music production apps, and the headphone output can also be used to connect with a sound system for live performances. In addition, Bluetooth MIDI is available to send wireless MIDI data to Bluetooth-enabled devices and expand your control options with Boss FS-1-WL Wireless Footswitch and EV-1-WL Wireless MIDI Expression Pedal controllers (sold separately).
This powerful companion app extends the Aerophone Brisa experience with your smartphone or tablet. Adjust internal parameters from your device's touchscreen, save and recall favorite sounds and use the fingering display to study layouts and view notes as you play them. You also get integrated access to many additional sounds on Roland Cloud to expand your creative range.
Yes. However, by default it powers up in Brisa Mode, which uses recorder-style fingerings. In this mode, the mouthpiece does not use breath sensors for octave selection; instead, octaves are selected with the left thumb buttons. This provides an easier playing experience for a wide range of skill levels and instrument backgrounds.
Players who want flute fingerings need to switch the fingering mode to Flute Mode. In this mode, the left thumb buttons function as the B and Bb keys like on an acoustic flute, and octaves are selected using the dual breath sensors in the mouthpiece.
Instead of blowing across the holes like an acoustic flute, place your mouth on the holes and blow directly into the mouthpiece, similar to a recorder. The mouthpiece responds to both blowing and inhaling.
The low octave is triggered by blowing into both holes in the mouthpiece. Blowing only into the top hole activates the middle octave. The high octave is accessed using high-octave fingerings, as on an acoustic flute, while continuing to blow into only the top hole.
Switching airflow between the two breath sensors requires practice. Some players rotate the mouthpiece while performing, while others adjust their embouchure to redirect the air. With regular practice, this becomes easier and more consistent.
The manual air blower helps prevent excess moisture from building up in the mouthpiece. Two holes on the back of the mouthpiece allow the blower to be inserted. Regular use is recommended, as moisture buildup can affect breath sensor sensitivity and octave switching accuracy.
