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.

It's a realy cool Keytar (I own one of them since 1/2 year) and it is capable of extreme things. It's like four times my old Ax-Synth. How ever the Editor is just a joke!Who wants to program such a killer machine on an iPhone? I mean the iPad just magnifyes the iPhone version, but it is a waste of screen area. For just making a few adjustments or swaping sounds while you are on the road, the iOS App is OK and a not so bad idea, but if you are in your studio and want to make new sounds or make more dramatic changes to the original ones it is just useless. Even the AX-Synth had a decent editor for Mac or Windows. So to program that beast on an iPhone is just ridiculous. The app is slow, has always to reload information from the AX-Edge and features no Graphics (absolutely NO grapcics). If i have to adjust an envelope generator it is standard nowadays, that your editing is represented by a graphic, that shows which time or Level you are actually editing. Not so here!! you just get parameter names and numbers and should you really do something wrong... sorry no Undo!! Whilst the AX-Edge is more than four times the AX-Synth (which already was a killer machine) the editor is less than a quarter the quality of the editor of the AX-Synth. Sorry Roland, you can do much better! this editor is not worth to be called that way and does no justice to that otherwise awesome Keytar! So Roland here you didn't do your homework, in no way! Go back and give us a decent editor for Windows and Mac.

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.

@longandmcquade6 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.

If you're not coming from a traditional keys/piano background, and more from a guitar background where you're used to a left-handed guitar, then playing a keytar like this would feel foreign to you anyways so just learn it with your right hand.
