Before You Play
Power Supply Settings
The Aerophone GO can be powered by batteries or by a USB
AC adaptor. Set the power select switch according to the power
supply that you want to use.
Power Supply Power Select Switch
Battery Set to the “BATTERY” position
USB AC Adaptor Set to the “USB” position
NOTE
If you are using the app on an Android smartphone that’s
connected via a USB cable, set the power select switch to
“BATTERY” so that the unit is powered by batteries.
Using the “USB” position might cause problems, such as the
battery of your smartphone running down.
BATTERY
When using batteries
Insert four rechargeable Ni-MH (AA) batteries. This allows
approximately 10 hours of playing.
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons
and knobs from damage. Also, handle the unit carefully; do not
drop it.
* Battery life can vary depending on the specifications of the
batteries, capacity of the batteries, and the conditions of use.
* When the batteries run low, the power LED (orange) blinks.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion fluid
leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items
related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p.
13) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 15).
When supplying power from a USB AC adaptor
Connect the included power supply USB cable (USB A) and USB
AC adaptor to the USB port of the Aerophone GO.
You can play without being concerned about how much battery
power you have left.

When connecting or disconnecting the cable, grasp the plug
itself; do not pull the cable.
Turning the Aerophone GO on

* The power to this unit will be turned off automatically after a
predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used
for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto
Off function). To prevent the power from turning off automatically,
make settings in the app to disable the Auto Off function. To turn
the power on again, set the [
Ā
] switch to the “OFF” position, and
then move it back to the “ON” position.
* When you turn the power switch “OFF”, the power LED blinks and
the shutdown process occurs. Do not remove the batteries or
disconnect the USB AC adaptor until the LED goes dark.
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
³
” 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
” (+3). If you want to
perform using the same fingering as a soprano sax or tenor sax,
set this to “B
³
” (-2).
