Roland Aerophone Brisa

I have been asked to review my purchase of the Roland Aerophone Brisa which I am happy to do but please bear in mind my very limited exposure to this instrument. Even though the extensive onboard capabilities of this instrument are numerous, of which I haven't accessed many, it does not negate my views on its initial handling and execution of its basic function to make music.
Being a flute player, but not having prior experience of any kind of DWI, I had hopes that this may prove to be a useful addition to my skillset. I had watched all the available videos prior to purchase but not until I got one in my hands could I properly assess it.
Although it is the first DWI to be built in a transverse manner familiar to flutists, the embouchure is structured differently so it cannot be played precisely like a flute. It comes with a full onboard set of synth sounds from instruments I've not even heard the name of so the menu is extremely extensive. All this I knew, but was not ready for the imprecise nature of generating sound between notes and octaves. Generating a sound is relatively easy, although not rock solid, but articulating it was overly difficult for me, so although I had less than an hour getting to grips with it I knew I was not comfortable with its approach to sound generation.
The cheap feeling of the keys was also not a favourable point and the G# lever is positioned too close to the G key. Overall it looks impressive but doesn't feel a premium product and more importantly I was not happy with the lack of repeatability between deciding when I should be blowing more into the top aperture. Case in point - 2nd octave triplet run (C#, D#, G#) played quietly. It repeatedly played the G# an octave lower and became far too troublesome to nail.
Many people used to this kind of instrument may find its behaviour easy to grasp and master but I do not have the time nor inclination to persevere. It really is nothing like playing a flute - so if you are mildly interested bear that in mind.
Music Store were exemplary in their efficient and professional handling of the return.
