1. What is a Soundbank?
A Soundbank is a collection of instrument sounds (tones) used by your AeroBand Guitar. By installing or upgrading soundbanks, you can:
- Access a wider variety of instrument tones.
- Improve sound quality and realism.
- Expand your creative possibilities for playing and recording.
2. Why do I need to install or upgrade a Soundbank?
2.1 You may need to install or upgrade a Soundbank if:
- You want to unlock additional tones beyond the default set.
- A new Soundbank version has been released.
- You receive a prompt in the app to upgrade your Soundbank version.
2.2 If your AeroBand Guitar experiences any of the following issues:
- Unusual noise from a specific string (such as buzzing).
- No sound from a single string.
- Volume fluctuates unexpectedly.
- A string sometimes produces sound and sometimes does not when played.
- You may also resolve these by upgrading the Soundbank version.
⚠️Note: Some AeroBand Guitar models manufactured before 2025 do not support Soundbank upgrades and cannot be updated, so they will remain on the current Soundbank version.
3. How do I know if I need to upgrade my Soundbank?
You can usually tell that a new Soundbank version is available in the following ways:
3.1 App Pop-up Notification
Whenever a new Soundbank version is released, you may receive a pop-up notification when opening the guitar app.
3.2 In-app Upgrade Entry
You can also find a Soundbank upgrade entry at the top of the "Guitar" page in the guitar app.
3.3 In-app Upgrade Prompts
Some features require a newer soundbank version. In these cases, you will see in-app prompts guiding you to upgrade.
You can tap the button to copy the upgrade link, then open it on your computer to complete the upgrade.
⚠️Note: The first two types of notifications (app pop-up and in-app upgrade entry) will only appear if your current Soundbank version is lower than version 308.
4. What should I prepare before installation?
Before you begin, please make sure:
- Your AeroBand Guitar has sufficient battery power (recommended above 60% before upgrading).
- Your internet connection is stable.
- Bluetooth or USB connection is properly connected.
- You will not disconnect or power off the device during installation.

6. What if the upgrade fails?
If the Soundbank upgrade fails, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
No. |
Cause |
Solution |
| 1 | The guitar or USB cable was moved during the upgrade process. | Do not move the guitar or disconnect the USB cable while the upgrade is in progress. |
| 2 | The USB cable does not support data transfer. | Use a USB cable that supports data transfer (not a charging-only cable). |
| 3 | The upgrade was interrupted before completion. | The upgrade usually takes about 10–15 minutes, but it may take longer in some cases. Please wait until the app shows either "Upgrade Successful" or "Upgrade Failed." |
| 4 | The guitar firmware version is too low. | Update the guitar firmware to version V30302082 or above through the app before upgrading the Soundbank. |
| 5 | The computer's operating system is outdated. |
For Windows, make sure you are using Windows 10 or above. For Mac, select the file version that matches your operating system according to the on-screen instructions. |
7. What should I do after installation?
After completing the installation:
- Restart your AeroBand Guitar.
- Reconnect it to the guitar app.
- Check the tone list to confirm new soundbanks are available.
You can switch between tones via the guitar app and the guitar's built-in controls.
8. Will installing a Soundbank affect my current settings?
Existing settings are usually not affected. Newly installed soundbanks will be added to your tone library.
We hope this guide helps you complete your soundbank installation successfully.
