Using the AE-20 with a Smartphone
Use Bluetooth to connect the AE-20 to a mobile device such as a
smartphone or tablet (subsequently referred to as “smartphone”).
This lets you do the following.
Playing along with a song from your smartphone
You can play this instrument along with a song that’s playing back
on your smartphone, with the sound being routed through the
AE-20’s built-in speakers (or headphones).
Using the smartphone app
You can use the dedicated app (Aerophone Pro Editor) on your
smartphone to edit the scenes.
Pairing
In order to wirelessly connect the AE-20 to the smartphone via
Bluetooth, you need to “pair” the unit with the smartphone so that
the two devices can authenticate with each other.
The pairing process
Separate pairing is required for “Performing Along with a Song from
Your Smartphone” and for “Using the AE-20 with an App.” Note that
these processes are different.
