It’s Time to Rock the Stage – Again!

Escape the keyboard rig once again with the new black sparkle AX-Synth. Representing Roland’s new generation of remote keyboards, the AX-Synth is the first of the legendary AX-Series to offer an onboard sound engine featuring a collection of the best of Roland’s cutting-edge synth sounds.

• Equipped with powerful, solo-oriented sounds from Roland’s latest synths
• Ribbon controller, D BEAM, modulation bar, knobs, and easy-to-see display for the stage
• USB MIDI for easy connection to a PC
• Long battery operation (approx. 6 hours)
• Dedicated V-LINK button for video/visual control
• Gorgeous glass-particle UV finish which reacts to various lighting conditions

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-Synth’s USB/MIDI connector makes communication to and from your computer fast and convenient.
