Thank you and congratulations on your choice of the Roland AX-Synth Shoulder Synthesizer. Fitted with a
powerful sound engine, the AX-Synth represents the next generation of Roland’s legendary AX-series of
shoulder keyboards, with sounds derived from Roland’s latest synthesizers.
With its support for battery and wireless audio use and its stylish design, the AX-Synth allows keyboardists
and other musicians to take center stage with mesmerizing keyboard solos, basslines, etc. In addition, the
AX-Synth can be used to control MIDI sound modules, function as input device for your computer-based
DAW, to control samplers, etc.
To avoid confusion, let’s agree to…
• …use the word “button” for all keys on the front panel, and only use “key” when referring to the AX-Synth’s key-
board.
• …use “sequencer” when referring to both hardware sequencers and computers with sequencer software.
•…talk about “MIDI instruments” to signify both isolated (“monotimbral”) instruments and parts/timbres/voices/multi
channels of a multitimbral module or synth.
The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the dis-
play. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes
newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on p. 4 and “Important notes” on p. 6.
These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured
that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, this owner’s manual should be read in its
entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.
