Roland announces the first digital flute ever

Roland Aerophone Brisa – Digital Wind Instruments, New Possibilities

Discover the future of wind instruments with the Roland Aerophone Brisa. This innovative digital instrument combines the familiar design and fingering of a traditional flute with the versatility and expressive power of the Aerophone series. Thanks to the built-in speaker, you can play anytime and anywhere—even without external equipment. One of the great advantages of the Aerophone Brisa is the ability to practice in complete silence. With the headphone jack, you can play whenever you like without disturbing others—perfect for home, on the go, or in situations where quiet is essential. This makes the Brisa not only a versatile stage instrument, but also the ideal alternative to an acoustic flute for silent practice sessions.

A World of Sounds at Your Fingertips with the Brisa

The Aerophone Brisa excels at authentically reproducing the sound of traditional flutes. Thanks to its advanced "SuperNATURAL Winds" sound engine, concert flutes, piccolos, and bass flutes sound remarkably realistic and expressive. Whether you're drawn to the warm, rounded tone of a classical flute or the bright, sparkling character of a piccolo, Brisa gives you instant access to these sounds at any time. But it doesn’t stop there—the instrument also offers a wide range of other orchestral voices, including saxophones, clarinets, and trumpets. In total, Brisa features over 100 sounds!

Expression and Control

With a range of effects such as vibrato, harmony, and transposition, you can personalize your playing even further—without having to change your familiar playing style. One of Brisa’s unique features is the built-in motion sensor: by moving the instrument, you can alter the character of the sound, adding an extra layer of expression whether you're on stage or in the studio.

Smart Connectivity and Ease of Use

The Aerophone Brisa supports Bluetooth and USB MIDI, allowing you to wirelessly connect to the free Brisa app, pedals, and mobile sound apps. You can also use it as a MIDI controller for your computer, DAW, or other MIDI-compatible devices. With USB Audio, you can record directly into your DAW in digital quality. And thanks to the headphone jack, you can practice in silence without disturbing others. The built-in speaker lets you play anytime, anywhere—even without external gear.

Intuitive Design for Everyone

The Brisa features a lightweight, elegant design with a clear display and intuitive controls. Its fingering is based on the traditional flute, but you can also choose from alternative modes such as recorder, saxophone, or trumpet style. The advanced dual breath sensor delivers a natural and expressive playing experience—comparable to that of an acoustic instrument.

Who Is the Brisa For?

The Aerophone Brisa is perfect for professional and semi-professional wind players who want to combine the feel of a flute with modern sounds and features. Passionate hobbyists will also appreciate its instant playability and wide range of possibilities.
