Before You Play

Selecting the Base Key

The sax is a transposing instrument. The note symbol written 

in the musical score differs 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” fingering).

For example, if you want to perform using the same fingering 

as an alto sax or baritone sax, set this to “E  ” (+3). If you want to 

perform using the same fingering 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.”

[TONE] knob corresponds to the

names are also listed on the 

battery compartment cover.

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 off all the units before making any 

connections.

Headphones

Since sound is not produced by the built-

in 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 affected by the force of your 

breath, the depth of reverberation, and the type of fingering.

 

&

 For details on how to make these settings, refer to 

“Changing the Settings” (p. 7).
