Great keyboard. But instead of buying an AX, I had saved me about 1,000 dollars by taking one of my regular lighter horizontal keyboards, attached a guitar strap to it, and held it and played it like an AX. Same thing. I even created an upright stand for it, and mounted it on the stand vertically, like an upright base or cello while sitting. The AX is super, but a novelty way of playing a regular horizontal keyboard like a guitar.

@longandmcquade5 жыл бұрын
Check out 4:56 where Dustin talks about the dual displays. The large display in the corner is angled to face the player. It's not tilted up like the AX7 was, more like the bottom of it is recessed into the unit, which still makes it easy to see while standing and playing with a strap. That screen is just a simple LCD display to show the bank/patch numbers, just like the AX7 had. The screen that is flat is an additional screen that the AX7 didn't have, and it is meant for deep editing which you would typically do while the unit is horizontal.

It cannot accept MP3 or WAVs as samples to perform with, but it does accept MP3 and WAVs to playback and play along to using the internal sounds. On Page 13 of the AX-Edge manual: You can copy an audio file (MP3 or WAV) from your computer to a USB flash drive, and perform on the AX-Edge while that audio file plays back. Audio files that can be played: MP3 Format: MPEG-1 audio layer 3 Sampling Frequency: 48 kHz Bit rate: 32/40/48/56/64/80/96/112/128/160/192/224/ 256/320 kbps, VBR (Variable Bit Rate) WAV Sampling Frequency: 48 kHz Bit Depth: 16/24-bit * For both MP3 and WAV, the only sampling frequency supported is 48 kHz. If your file has a sampling frequency of other than 48 kHz, use software on your computer to convert it to 48 kHz beforehand.
