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.”

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).
