Last night was the first gig I took my Aerophone AE-30 on. It was pretty solid. I used a duduk patch and a synth patch for a cover of "Easy Lover”. Switching is simple using the iOS app I had running on an iPad mini. Also used a slightly modified 60s String patch for background parts for a couple of songs. And two harmonica patches for two harmonica solos (Reggae Woman was one of them).

Generally worked really well.

I'm wondering if there is some sort of site/forum where people are trading Roland AE-20/AE-30 custom patches. Like there are the 5 volumes you can buy on Roland cloud (I have 3 of them), and supposedly all the OTHER things listed for the AE-30 don’t really work with it.

But I have done mods to some of the patches to make them, I think, better. Like the 60’s String patch I added a little Cello to it to give it some depth.

Writing out (transcribing) my part to the Teena Maria "I Need Your Lovin" song. Using the AE30 for strings, and then switching to sax to do the solo.....and then back to strings.
