KEYTAR-mageddon | NEW Roland AX-Edge!

[@jazzmystic23]

I have a lot of musical instruments, but this one is by far the most fun! It never fails to get attention at gigs, not just ‘cause it looks so cool, but the seemingly infinite number of things you can do with it. If you play keys, you gotta have one of these!

[@joebirthday3390]

I just took up the keyboard this year, and bit the bullet on a red Ax-Edge. I'm BEYOND thrilled. I can't wait to practice every damned day on this thing. It sounds amazing just with its built-in patches, and the customization ability is killer. Roland knocked it out of the park with this puppy.

[@leonardokremer4493]

Just bought it and I am SO satisfied! Cannot recommend it enough!

[@Gwenalltapowain]

Waiting for mine to come👍🏻🙏🏻

[@leonardokremer4493]

@@Gwenalltapowain nice!

[@webbc99]

This looks amazing. Might learn to play keyboard just so I can own this one day haha

[@Elektr0FenyxMusic]

Exactly my intentions

[@jonathankessler4684]

Honestly this is one of the coolest thing's I've seen released this year. If I had the money Id totally buy one, it'd be great for overall composition also in the studio. Change the way you write a little bit

[@Ashes2Ashes_Blush2Blush]

Hey! I saw you on another comment section too.🤣

[@analogsystem8015]

So 80's, i love, and this is a great demo !

[@Ronno4691]

Love the Metal Gear Solid sounds at 1:25

[@OfficialRainsynth]

I definitely love this thing. I wish I could have one. Especially the white model.

[@Gwenalltapowain]

Go to be black 😂👍🏻

[@OfficialRainsynth]

@@Gwenalltapowain Nah, I want the white one with custom panels.

[@andrewalbertson1]

Can't wait 2 spend my whole winter playing this bad boy 🎹🎸

[@rickygarcia7400]

Andrew Albertson yep winter is my synth time too. to dam cold to do anything out side I doint care about winter hobbys like snowmobiling sking I used to snow board back in the day but I have bad knees so I abandoned that but now my hobby is synths nice and warm(:

[@andrewalbertson1]

RICARDO GARCIA same! I used to snowboard and all that. But now I'm Content just playing music, drinking tea and hanging at home with my animals lol. I've grown to enjoy my time alone better and this all helps

[@rickygarcia7400]

Andrew Albertson yep I'm same way.

[@xenobiigaming]

Sounds great even in 2022! I gotta support all of my fellow AX-Edge users!

[@Tonguendchic]

Love the Tron Legacy demo in the middle

[@rjs1215]

I love it. Just got one and now I need to learn all the cool stuff it can do. You should make tutorials videos on it. Just saying.

[@Gwenalltapowain]

Can’t wait till mine arrives - I’m a professional musician but never tried a keytar👍🏻always been a retro music fan👍🏻

[@AAdave88]

Do these synths have a decent piano sound and Hammond-like organ sounds so I can use it for playing blues and jazz?

[@tgregorywoodley3871]

Yes, they do

[@kauairalph108]

Sounds like a whole orchestra on stage can create deep moods. I play ancient devotional Bajans and mantra usually played on ancient stringed instruments but would be great. You are great at this ax edge

[@atomfiresign]

Can you just do a whole video of you playing for like an hour or two? i've just been working to you playing for the last 20 minutes lol Super helpful!

[@eaacowboys]

hi, I own the Ax Synth, and I am still waiting for a keytar that would give us options like Korg PS60. The tones will be the guitars, strings, piano, organ, sax and other tones- that you can play simultaneouly and layer and adjust the volume of the sounds. Shape it like a guitar 34 inches lenght and with a separate 1 octave left hand bass notes and modulation bars.

[@mepenguin]

Awesome demo. I now neeeed one of these!

[@Jorge.O85]

Dang !!! 12:17 That Synthwave 🤩 Nice toy ! 🎶🎶

[@PepperDeVillle]

Do the all black keys throw you off? I wish I could try it out before ordering one because the all black keys look dope but I'm worried I will struggle without the visual aid of white/black keys.

[@GakCoUk]

Thelonia No. Itakes practice but that’s like anything. It’s fun! and you always get noticed. Maybe try the Alesis Vortex 2 also. It’s smaller and therefore a little easier to use although it is only a controller so doesn’t have its own built in sounds. This does :) either way....Keytars are awesome

[@tgregorywoodley3871]

You can get one with white keys

[@rickygarcia7400]

Just orderd this baby now waiting for my Berhinger vc340 arp odyssey and I will be set(:

[@KBarna-zb6hk]

awesome demonstration :) is the backtrack at 11:27 selfmade? i loved to try this on my on keytar :D

[@mvoproject]

Some of the sounds like inside the JP-8000. Cool and also me very like this design.P.S. Nice demos.

[@elmeromero6559]

great video but just one doubt ..do I need passive speakers or active speakers to conect and play my Roland?? I'll appreciate someone reply me .. t-you =)

[@ruqeshqumarsharda8950]

Where how can i get this and at what price❤

[@haraldreinke6794]

I like this thing! In your Hand if looks so easy to play it. The question is what do you use as other equipment for the rythm and so when you play in this video? I think if you want to use the Keytar like you in your Video you have not only to buy the Keytar. In the most Videos on Tube the Poeple play with rythm and sound and no one writes something about the other equipment they have to buy to play like shown in the videos.

[@tgregorywoodley3871]

You can import or create drums using the Roland Librarian app, but it's cumbersome. It's easier to a drum machine or another keyboard that has drums. Also, you will need an Amp, just as you would for any professional level keyboard.

[@ZephyrusAsmodeus]

Man you sound great on that thing, ordering my own soon

[@scottweber2413]

How are the lead sounds, namely the guitar leads?

[@emericklamontagne3652]

Excellent demo, excellent product. However, took one of my keyboards, attacked a guitar strap to it, and made my low budget keytar. Or, place it vertically upon low rise stool, sit down, and play it like and oversized harmonium......without blowing of course. Easy to access the pit h bend wheel too.

[@giancarlobrunello1]

Does someone knows will they make new keytar soon?

[@arkman117]

Finally someone that’s not just trying to ripoff the 80’s with one of these!! Thank you. Sry just found the channel and subbed, so you have any projects where you’ve used this?

[@BalkanKeytar]

Foarte bune tonurile! Au fost modificate si tonurile interne? Eu sunt fascinat de sunetul tau.

[@DontPanic4422]

Great video. I have a much more positive view of keytars now.

[@carolynbrown4783]

Quick question does this guy play live if so where can I get tickets

[@RedHeadChansons]

If I wanna play the Hammond Sounds of my "Crumar Mojo Desktop" on this Keytar, has it to be connected via Midi cable or is there a wireless solution?

[@mrsjackson3889]

What is the song called? ❤

[@ChamrsDeluxe]

Loosen that strap man! Looks so uncomfortable playing all crushed up like that. also for playing with two hands move the strap down from the neck one peg. Trust me. much more comfortable way of playing.

[@ChamrsDeluxe]

@Jack you'll have better range of motion is all I am saying, relax my guy. If he losens it up he will be able to hit the lower keys with his right hand.

[@majewskimusic]

Super, thanks, 1:25 divine sound!!!, ;-)

[@ecdegavj7hv]

Здравствуйте. Можно ли настроить силу нажатия на клавишу touch?

[@Frug4l]

Anyone know a good amp/speaker setup for it? I've been looking for a year and I can't seem to find a good one.

[@12345678906588]

Muy buenas Mi pregunta es la siguiente Recién adquirí un keytar Roland AX-EDGE pero en algunos instrumentos como por ej: trompeta, saxo etc. Al presionar varias teclas al tiempo solo suena una tecla mi pregunta porque ? Si vienen así de fábrica, o es configuración Agradezco su ayuda gracias

[@speelbergo]

Some of the voices are polyphonic and others are monophonic. And they're actually configurable as well so if you use the editor and go into the settings you should be able to switch between the two. You want to set it to polyphonic to be able to hit more than one key at a time.

[@timli383]

Does it have acoustic guitar sounds?

[@Reppen555]

"Simply amazing"

[@alexroy5775]

Is this better than Ax Synth the old one

[@zmanpianoman]

I think I will get one. Never played standing up before. Sounds are great but. could you do a demo with blues, classic and electric guitar. I play piano but I want to also play guitar with my buddies blues band.

[@OjGarz]

Im planning on buying one thing only does it have orchestra/string sound or can you add sounds... I have the roland fa it has a orchestra button and on roland site you can download sound packs..just wondering if this keytar does the same

[@speelbergo]

Yes yes and yes

[@Haztagz]

where do you get the drum sounds from?

[@ghostdestroyer]

So do you need a speaker for it or does it have one built in? And you also mentioned Bluetooth so if it doesn't have a natural speaker built in can you set it up to a Bluetooth speaker?

[@rickygarcia7400]

Ghost Destroyer you need a amp pa ec. Most of your pro synths doint have built in speakers like those cheap casio yamaha arrangers keyboards that you get at kmart(:

[@martysmagicalmusicmancave]

Just bought one ! Great Demo guys!!!

[@Swanlord05]

[@jas7949]

going to ask my jazz band director tonight if "hypothetically" speaking i get a keytar if i could play it instead of the keyboard. the keytar looks so sick. what brand would you recommend is the best for a beginner? I play a bit of guitar and I've played piano for 9 years.

[@speelbergo]

Alesis vortex is a much cheaper alternative but one less scale of keys

[@paorauniformes2546]

Seria show de bola tocar com teclado desse

[@Hardy-One]

Like it very much - the keytar and also your video! Thanks for one of the best AX-Edge-videos so far! I think, the AX-Edge would be a great christmas-gift for myself... You told about the "assignable knobs", and i have a question depending on the assignability of the ribbon controller: When playin' guitar-sounds it is helpful, if you can bend the tones only two halfsteps up, but twelve halfsteps down. (And this behaviour would be nearly like what the tremolo-arm at a real guitar does...) - So, please, can you tell me if it's possible to assign different intervals for "moving up" an "moving down"? Thanx a lot!

[@AnythingEvil78]

Why do all the demos of this instrument go straight to 80's style of synth music? Im sure it could do more modern styles or even be used for progressive music.

It has a fair amount of outputs I think. And it works with amps.

[@tgregorywoodley3871]

Yes, you can plug into an Amp or use a wireless system, as it is Bluetooth

[@thephoenixchant]

​​@@tgregorywoodley3871But the bluetooth is only for the phone sound editor right? Or does it have Audio/MIDI bluetooth too?

@@thephoenixchant as far as I know, it’s only to connect with phones, iPads…..not with Bluetooth speakers. I didn’t see anything in the manual that would indicate that capability.

[@DIYMusic]

yes--we need a Lucina of this new generation with more conservative styling--I tweeted at them about it. Here's hoping!

[@Russtopia]

Can't make it much smaller unless one compromises the keybed size. I love my Korg RK-100s, but the mini-keys take some getting used to. (Same engine as Micro-X) www.korg.com/us/products/synthesizers/rk_100s/page_1.php

Too bad they didn't offer it in reverse key color models. All one color keys does not make it easy to find your starting point on a dark stage between songs.

@@speelbergo Are you related to Henry Ford? When he first started manufacturing cars someone asked him about colors. He replied " You can get it in any color you want as long as it's black." And that's why you never see old model T cars that are not black.
