Contents • • • • • • Features [ ] The AX-Synth extends the keyboard to 49 keys (from the AX-7's 45) and also adds dedicated V-Link functionality to control audio and video onstage. It runs on 8 or an external power source. It has 264 built in tones, 128-voice polyphony, and a 3-character display. The AX-Synth also has all of the AX-7's stage performance functions such as the -like ribbon, expression bar, switch, and volume control knob, all on the upper neck of the instrument. As with the AX-7, there is also a proprietary 'D-Beam' interface, made up of sensors that detect nearby motion. The AX-Synth also has a wide variety of sounds.

Many are synthesised, however, there are many samples of real sounds, from brass to a 'Jazz Scat' sound; this varies depending on the velocity with which the note is played, as seen in. The AX-Synth has been often criticized for the large size of the keytar (as seen here dwarfing a large framed Roland rep ) which was necessary to contain all of the sound generating hardware vs. The sleek stylings of previous Roland Keytars like the Roland AX-1 and Roland AX-7. MIDI functionality [ ] The AX-Synth has full functionality like the AX-7, but also adds an internal synthesizer with 128 voice polyphony and stereo output.

It has both MIDI in and out ports and as is common with more recent synthesizers, it also has a port which can also be used to communicate MIDI messages, and edit the sounds via Roland's free patch editor/librarian software for PC and Mac. Notable users [ ] French composer used a prototype version of the AX-Synth during the first concerts of his IN>DOORS tour. [ ] Pop star has several customized versions of the AX-Synth, used for various performances. See also [ ] • • • • Roland AX-09 Lucina References [ ].
