Description

It's time to escape the keyboard rig and rock the stage. The stylish AX-Synth represents Roland's new generation of remote keyboards but, for the first time, this one has a sound generator onboard. It's self-contained and equipped with powerful, solo-oriented sounds from Rolands latest, greatest synths. Strap on an AX and steal the show.

- Built-in sound engine with voices from Roland's latest synthesizers
- Ribbon controller, D Beam, modulation bar, knobs and easy to see display for stage
- USB MIDI for easy connection to PC
- Dedicated V-LINK button for video/visual control
- Long battery operation (approx. 6 hours)

All In One
Plug in and play. What could be more convenient? The AX-Synth has everything you need to steal the show. Unlike most remote synths of yesteryear, the AX-Synth is self-contained and loaded with hundreds of Roland's greatest sounds. External MIDI devices are not required. Everything is built-in and ready to rock.

Control Freak
The AX-Synth is packed with cool controllers for expressive live performance. Glide your fingers over the Ribbon Controller for ultra-smooth pitch bends. A Modulation Bar and dedicated control knobs are also provided for real-time sound shaping. Wave your hand over the invisible D Beam for attention-getting effects.

USB MIDI
While the AX-Synth is completely self-contained, it's also capable of driving external instruments via MIDI. Plug into a MIDI device and enjoy an unlimited world of sounds and textures, all controllable from the AX-Synth.

Custom Programming
The AX-Synth has a vault of great solo sounds onboard but if you want to customize your sounds, you can download the dedicated PC software editor/librarian application. The AX-Synths USB/MIDI connector makes communication to and from your computer fast and convenient.

Great for Live Performance

Product Experience I own it Closest Store St. John's Newfoundland and Labrador
I have owned this machine for about 2 years now. It is a hardy machine and is great for live performance! Controls are simple to use and sound changes are only a push button away. The D beam, slide control and vibrato bar make it easy to boost your live performance, rather just standing there and playing the notes. I highly recommend using a wireless guitar system, along with the Ax Synth's battery power......then head to the middle of the dance floor and show your stuff!!
