The AX-Synth is equipped with a USB port for MIDI communication with a computer.
General considerations
Possible applications
If you connect the USB port located on the AX-Synth’s
rear panel to a USB port of your computer, you’ll be able
to do the following things.
•Take advantage of the “AX-Synth Editor” and librar-
ian software to edit the internal sounds to your lik-
ing. This software is available for the Mac and PC
platforms and can be downloaded from Roland’s
website: http://www.Roland.com.
Settings you change in this way can be stored inside
the AX-Synth and used even when it is not con-
nected to a computer.
• By transferring MIDI data between the AX-Synth and
your sequencer software, you’ll be able to enjoy a
wide range of possibilities for music production and
editing.
Connection
Caution
•To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or speaker dam-
age, always make sure to turn the volume all the way
down and turn off the power on all equipment
before you make any connections.
• Only MIDI data can be transmitted and received via
USB.
•A USB cable is not included. If you need to obtain
one, ask the dealer where you purchased the
AX-Synth.
• Switch on the AX-Synth before you start up the MIDI
application on your computer. Don’t turn the
AX-Synth’s power on/off while your MIDI application
is running.

Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order
to connect the AX-Synth to your computer. However,
if a problem occurs, or if the performance is poor,
using the Roland original driver may solve the prob-
lem.
