Roland Aerophone AE-01 and BIAB - 09/25/20 03:33 AM
Hi everyone
Please excuse my total beginner ignorance I wish I could say it's due to my extreme youth; sadly, that's not the case. An old clarinetist/saxophonist who has recently returned to the instrument(s) by purchasing a Roland Aerophone AE-01, which I've been puddling around with for 3 mths -- think I've got that, and wanted some accompaniment plus some opportunities for jazz jamming. Not easy in these COVID days.
"Get Band-In-A-Box!" I was told. So I did -- BIAB 2020 for Mac! I think I'm happy I did, but...wow...is it complex on first sight. I'm overwhelmed, to say the least, and have many questions. The first is as simple as connecting my aerophone as a MIDI device, so that I can play via/with BIAB...but that will only lead to more questions.
So, I guess I'm trying to see if there's anyone out there that is using an aerophone (or other wind synth) with BIAB, who might offer a little patient advice. I will warn in advance -- it may be excruciating -- but I will be very grateful.
Cheers, Tim
