Roland AX-Edge Keytar Portable 49-Key ZEN-Core Synthesizer with Vocoder, Ribbon Controller & Battery Power
The Roland AX-Edge is a sleek, modern keytar designed for stage performers who want expressive, cutting-edge sounds without being tied to a keyboard stand. Featuring a 49-note velocity-sensitive keyboard with channel aftertouch, the AX-Edge delivers fast, dynamic playability perfect for solos, leads, and live improvisation. Powered by Roland’s flagship ZEN-Core sound engine, it provides over 500 premium preset tones plus 256 user tones, all organized into 320 user programs for instant recall during performances.
Shape your sound on the fly with a dedicated ribbon controller for pitch bends and expressive gestures, a modulation bar, assignable knobs and buttons, plus aftertouch for deep sonic control. Built-in vocoder lets you add robotic or harmony vocals using any dynamic microphone, while extensive effects including 90 types of part multi-effects, program IFX, chorus, reverb, master compressor, and EQ give your performances professional polish. The AX-Edge also functions as a powerful MIDI master keyboard, complete with arpeggiator and song player for backing tracks.
Ultra-portable and lightweight at just 9 lbs 5 oz, the AX-Edge runs on rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries for up to 4 hours of wireless play or via the included AC adaptor. Bluetooth MIDI (Ver 4.1) enables wireless connection to smartphones and tablets for sound editing with the free AX-Edge Editor app. With its striking blade-style design, shoulder strap, and road-ready construction, the AX-Edge is the ultimate instrument for keyboardists, synth players, and live electronic artists who demand freedom of movement combined with pro-level sound and control.
