The discrete OLED screen provides clear information at any angle, and the aluminium accents add a touch of elegance.
Expressive Playability
Playing the Aerophone Pro is a natural transition for wind players, as it features the same fingering as an acoustic saxophone, complete with a high-F# key.
The enhanced breath and bite sensors deliver exceptional responsiveness and expressiveness, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your performance. Enjoy low latency, configurable settings, and a range of configurable controls for an unparalleled playing experience.
Authentic Acoustic and Synth Sounds
Explore a vast sonic palette with the Aerophone Pro’s two sound engines. The SuperNATURAL acoustic engine offers ultra-realistic and expressive tones, faithfully capturing the nuances of brass, woodwinds, strings, and more.
The Zen-Core Synthesizer engine provides vintage analog synth tones to modern hybrids, ensuring limitless creative possibilities. Enjoy lifelike dynamics, articulations, and overtones that only a wind instrument can deliver.
Seamless Connectivity and Performance Options

The USB-C connection enables direct MIDI recording into your computer and easy sound exchange with other Zen-Core devices. MIDI In/Out connections facilitate communication with other synthesizers.
Portability and Accessories
The Aerophone Pro is designed for on-the-go musicians. Weighing in at just 4.2KG, it is lightweight and easy to transport. Choose between the included power supply or use rechargeable AA batteries for wireless operation.
