Roland Digital Wind Instrument Ae 10

I bought this for my Roland r-07 fits excellent. Reduces wind noise very well. I live in Florida and I tested this out in local parks, at the beach, and at home to see how much is muffles the overall sound of the recorder. At local parks it works very well under moderate wind. Out on the beach, near the shore and on the jetty’s, it really tamed those strong sea breezes(I went out during the tailed of a storm). Overall great wind reduction and no major degradation of sound.

I use this lab with a Roland R-05 and rycote wind screens during interview taping or weddings on the officiant and groom. The quality of the audio is phenomenal and its small size makes it inconspicuous.

For years I used a Canon AE-1 as my primary camera, then wanted to try some digital, so used a couple of Kodak digitals. I missed the ability to do macro photography, which is my favorite, so I recently purchased an Olympus Evolt E-510 and got this lens to go along with it. I was out shooting all weekend at botanical gardens and out in the desert, and can report that I am VERY pleased with this lens. I really liked the light weight of it, and, since I was shooting mainly outdoor shots in sunlight, the focus and response were perfect. I'm really pleased with this purchase and would heartily recommend it.

I love this adapter. I had an Canon AE-1 with every imaginable lens and filter. Then came the digital age and my lenses were no longer any good until I heard about B&H. I spoke with a very knowledgeable young man. I received my adapter and now my old lenses are very usable and I don't have to spend hundreds/thousands of dollars replacing them. I am now a very happy older person. Thank you B&H. I still have to work on lighting, focusing, etc. with this adapter but what a new challenge to have.

I had all most 2 yrs. of schooling back in 1982. in black & white, now with this new digital camera is like starting all over, my last camera was an AE 1, with a winder, is very heavy, with this new one is like wow so very light, it is going to be great to carry around. I look forward to learning all over again.

I must admit, the first time I unboxed the instrument, I was amazed at the build quality. It has some heft, the keys are properly and ergonomically placed and you know Akai really took their time to perfect this wind controller. But as a long time saxophone player, the first time I actually played some scales, I was quite disappointed - it didn't feel like a saxophone. I was beginning to regret my purchase and thought about exchanging it for the WX5. So I gave it a few more days. Days turned to weeks, and I am beginning to appreciate this instrument. Keep practicing those scales, breathing with the mouthpiece and you realize how this is such an amazing wind controller. I made a mistake thinking that this is a replacement for a saxophone in an apartment situation. In reality, you should think about how this instrument can be an extension to your musical endeavors. The possibilities you can do with the sounds and playability are endless. There are a few usable synths prebuilt, but I suggest using the Akai EWI 5000 Editor to really play and edit your sounds then save it to the user bank. Also there are synths out there that can be used if you plug the EWI as just a midi wind controller; unfortunately you can't upload other synth sounds into the controller. Definitely give it some time to get used to the instrument especially moving from one octave to another. Keep practicing and you'll appreciate that there's hardly any moving parts here. I was opposed at it first since horns have that tactile and key feedback. But with the touch sensitivity, it really felt I was playing an instrument from the future. Again, you just have to get used to it - think about when mobile phones shift from physical keyboards to the modern phones we have today. And here I am today still keeping my purchase and writing a review. I thank Akai for making a top-notch wind controller and continuing the support for the modern electronic wind musician.

I use this on a Roland and Yamaha digital keyboard. It really smooths out the response of the keyboard and helps tame the harshness.

This works perfectly. I use it to power my Roland R-05 digital recorder. I had a USB AC charger hanging around (the kind you can plug a USB cable into, like most phone chargers) and I use the cable with this. It works fine from my computer as well. This is a perfect solution at a bargain price.

I use the Apex AX-48 keyboard stand for a heavier digital piano, on the bottom and a Roland Juno Di on top. Each keyboard is easily accessible and adjustable keyboard heights make playing very comfortable. This stand is very sturdy.

I use this with a Roland M200i digital mixer to provide an audio feed to a livestream PC. Using the LAN saves adding an analog adapter to that PC.
