High-quality Internal sound source
A “shoulder synthesizer”, the AX-Synth comes with
256 high-quality sounds specially selected for solo
performances, 4 SuperNATURAL™ sounds (Violin,
Cello, Shakuhachi, Trombone) and 4 SPECIAL sounds
(Trumpet, Sax, Strings and Jazz Scat).
Cable-free live operation possible
The AX-Synth can be powered by 8 rechargeable AA-
type Ni-MH batteries with a battery life of about 6
hours. If combined with a commercially available
wireless system, it allows you to play wherever you
like, to follow the singer or any other musician on
stage, etc., with no cables to pay attention to.
It even provides an attenuator switch to adapt its
output level to the input sensitivity of the wireless
system you are using.
Convenient studio operation
An AC adaptor and the USB port allow the AX-Synth
to be used with a computer. Dedicated editor and
librarian software is also available. The “AX-Synth
Editor” software, which includes librarian software,
can be downloaded free of charge from Roland’s
website: http://www.Roland.com.
All performance controls within reach
The AX-Synth provides control functions that are
conveniently and ergonomically built into its neck.
The AX-Synth puts you in control of your sound: key
velocity sensitivity, a D Beam controller, an AFTER-
TOUCH knob, a modulation bar, a TOUCH CONTROL-
LER ribbon, a PORTAMENTO button, a HOLD button
and a BENDER MODE button are built in.
The D Beam controller can be set to transmit almost
any control change message (CC) you may ever need.
Finally, the AX-Synth sports a FOOT PEDAL socket to
which you can connect a DP-series hold pedal.
In-depth programming with the ‘AX-Synth editor’
The AX-Synth comes with dedicated editor and
librarian software that allows you to modify (and
save) all aspects of the internal sounds. Combined
with this intuitive software, the AX-Synth becomes a
fully-fledged synthesizer.
