Handheld Synth with Ribbon controller, and Onboard Sound Generator

The new Roland AX-Synth in Black Sparkle gives you the excuse to escape the keyboard rig and rock the stage. With it's new black sparkle gloss particle UV finish that reacts to various lighting conditions, the stylish AX-Synth represents Roland’s new generation of remote keyboards, and like it's Perl White brother, this one has a sound generator onboard. It’s self-contained and equipped with powerful, solo-oriented sounds from Roland’s latest, greatest synths. Strap on an AX and steal the show.

All In One - Plug in and play — what could be more convenient? The Roland 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.

Program your Own Sounds with Dedicated Editor Software - The Roland AX-Synth has a vault of great solo sounds onboard, but if you want to customise your sounds, you can do so easily and conveniently with the dedicated PC software editor/librarian application. The AX-Synth’s USB/MIDI connector makes communication to and from your computer fast and convenient.
