The Roland AX Edge 49-key synthesizer is a revolutionary keytar that gives artists the freedom to connect with audiences through an unforgettable performance. This sleek, modern keytar has 49 full-sized keys and a curated sound set tailored for keytar players. Thoughtful design features like interchangeable Edge Blades, assignable controls and a modulation bar offer players intuitive control and customization options on stage. Gigging is a breeze thanks to features like a dual display, arpeggiator, song player and nearly four hours of battery life. For keytarists seeking to push creative boundaries, the AX Edge is a bold and versatile instrument for crafting a signature sound and look.

Interchangeable Edge Blades for a Custom Stage Presence

The AX Edge comes with interchangeable Edge Blades that let you match your keytar's look to your personal style. Choose between the included silver and gold Edge Blades, or design your own for a completely unique appearance. Changing Edge Blades is an easy way to keep your performances fresh and complement your band's aesthetic.

A Curated Sound Set Optimized for Keytar

The AX Edge's sound set is tailored specifically for keytar performance. Onboard sounds like edgy leads, fat basses and retro keyboard tones are optimized to cut through live mixes. Dedicated sound selection buttons provide instant access to your favorites. Connect the AX Edge to the editor app via Bluetooth MIDI to customize sounds, and program splits and layers.

Intuitive Controls For Expressive Playing

As a keytarist, you need intuitive controls that translate your inspiration into an emotional performance. The AX Edge delivers with features like a modulation bar, pressure-sensitive pitch ribbon, assignable buttons and an octave switch. Your left hand will love the modulation bar's ability to add subtle nuance or intensity to your playing. The pitch ribbon makes it easy to bend notes and create portamento effects. With so many ways to shape your sound in real time, the AX Edge is an extension of your musical creativity.

Modern Features for Gigging Convenience

The AX Edge has useful tools for seamless gigging, such as a dual display, arpeggiator, song player and USB memory backup. Its lightweight, portable design includes nearly four hours of battery life, freeing you to perform wirelessly. The AX Edge also functions as a master keyboard for controlling rackmount synths and software instruments. With this keytar, you have everything you need to craft an unforgettable show.

    When I play a solo gig I prefer to have a full keyboard with rhythms and split keyboard. This Keytar is great for soloing in a band setting.

    Extremely versatile. Love that there are enough keys to allow me to play bass notes and leads simultaneously. Even allows you to play some classical runs easily which has been really satisfying to pull out in solos. I couldn't be happier with it.

  • Well, this key tar is great, BUT...

    I'm still wondering why I got a USED Keytar when there's no sign of it being used either on the product description, or in my order description. I'm kinda disappointed since it didn't come with the second blade panel and the ferrite core. This is the second time I feel cheated when buying online from Guitar Center. Shame.

  • This is the Keytar to get!

    This is the Keytar to get. Runs on batteries, sounds are awesome, and now with Vocoder! I had the very first generation red MIDI-only AX-1 back in the '90s. I missed my chance to acquire the AX-Synth last decade and had to borrow my friend's AX-Synth many times over the past few years. Now that the AX-Edge comes out, my wait is over and I finally got one!

    Does this AX-Edge Roland Synthesizer output sounds directly from a 1/4" instrument cord to a mixing board /keyboard amp, or does it need to be interfaced thru a computer?

    Will i need a cord and an amp for this? I dont believe it has a speaker on it, so i'm pretty sure i'll have to buy an amp or small speaker to use.

    Yes, you will. You have the option of an amp or powered speakers. Powered speakers would be my suggestion.

    Are there any built in speakers, or would I need an Amp to actually play? If I need an Amp, what's the best one to get?

    This does not have built in speaker and you would need a keyboard or PA speaker to amplify the keytar.
