Give your stage presence the edge
Stage presence is everything and you work hard to develop your image as a solo performer or band. AX-Edge is designed not only to look stunning on stage, but also to match your own unique style. It's available in black or white and each color has individual design elements that make it stand out, like the 'none-more-black' keys and removable Edge Blades. AX-Edge comes with an extra Edge Blade in the box (silver for the black model, gold for the white) and you can even create your own original designs. Create a look that complements your band's style or swap out Edge Blades to keep things fresh.
From stage-ready classics to custom-made tones
Roland didn't cram generic preset sounds into the AX-Edge, instead carefully curating a sound set driven by their latest technology. The onboard sounds are optimized for stage performance to produce sounds that cut through, even in a loud band. Dedicated buttons for favorite sounds give you instant access to edgy leads, big fat basses and all manner of keyboard sounds perfect for the performing keytarist, whether it's taking a solo or sharing the limelight with your bandmates. If you like to customize your sounds, you can connect to the AX-Edge editor app with Bluetooth MIDI and tweak your sounds wirelessly. Splits and layers let you take full advantage of the expansive, full-sized keyboard. A wealth of stunning new effects, including a master compressor and EQ, give you polished, studio-quality tone in any venue. And thanks to the Tone Remain function, you can switch sounds seamlessly on stage without notes or effect tails being cut off prematurely.
Take control of your performance – with both hands
Unlike keyboardists who perform behind a traditional keyboard rig, keytar players know the thrill of tearing it up right in front of their adoring fans. And when your moment comes, AX-Edge gives you the hands-on control to nail your performance, giving it subtle nuance or over-the-top intensity. AX-Edge's neck controls, refined over years of development and artist feedback, are highly intuitive and truly take your performance to another level. While your right hand will appreciate the supremely playable keyboard, your left hand will love the modulation bar, pressure sensitive pitch ribbon and easy-to-reach controls for portamento, hold, octave switch and program change. If desired, many controls can be reassigned to functions that perfectly suit your performance style.
The stage-ready, performance-focused powerhouse
As a gigging keyboard player, a lot can fall on your shoulders. You cover lots of different sounds and parts, often acting as the backbone of a performance and filling in any gaps. With this reality in mind, AX-Edge has thoughtful performance features that aid you in the heat of battle. An innovative dual display system keeps you in command at all times, while the onboard arpeggiator and song player can handle backing duties while you concentrate on slaying your audience. And the built-in vocoder, which can be layered with internal sounds, is just the thing for unique backing vocals or funky, retro lead parts.
Modern convenience
While they may not stand out as much as its striking good looks and killer sound set, AX-Edge has several convenient features that greatly expand its usability for today's keytarist. The USB memory function provides full backup capability, so you're ready if disaster strikes. It's also a capable master controller for rack modules or plug-in synths. Bluetooth MIDI and nearly four hours of battery life (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries only) free you from wires, so you can throw caution to the wind and leave it all on the stage.
