Roland Aerophone Pro Version 3.0 Update Overview

video upload by RolandChannel

"The Version 3.0 update infuses Aerophone Pro with new harmonic and sampling possibilities. Intelligent Harmony and Scale Tune are added to the instrument, and FANTOM owners can import tones created with the synthesizer, including recorded samples. In this video, learn about the new features within the Version 3.0 update:

0:00 Intro
0:37 Scene Import/Export
01:55 Intelligent Harmony
03:09 Scale Tuning
03:42 New Scenes

Tap into the new Intelligent Harmony feature to turn performances into diatonic arrangements. Set the key, and the harmony will follow your playing, layering up to four notes at a time. And you can connect a footswitch, like the FS-1-WL, to turn the function on and off and set the key. The availability of the foot pedal shown on the screen may vary per region.

The Scale Tune Function allows you to set various scales with the choice of pure temperament, equal temperament, Arabic scales, plus your own temperament. You can use a footswitch to set the temperament key as well.

The Version 3.0 update also gives you the ability to import new sample types several ways. FANTOM owners can create tones within their synth with user samples and transfer them to the AE-30 via USB. You can also connect a mic to FANTOM, sample acoustic instruments or other external sounds, and import those samples into the Aerophone Pro. Then, export the user scene to a USB flash drive and share it with others.

Recently serviced: New battery CR2032/ Front panel completely cleaned/ Ins/ outs cleaned.

This one DOES NOT have 'red glue disease', but it did have the inherent mylar ribbon cable issue."

I have worked on dozens of JDs over the years and I have found no solution. I modified the existing ribbon cable, as I have on many other units and have had no returns ALL KEYS TRIGGER!
