Roland AX-Edge 49-Key Keytar, With Velocity And Channel After Touch, Black

Update: I bought a Yamaha Subwoofer for the studio and this sub really brings out the lows this incredible instrument can produce! The keytar has such awesome lows like bass guitar and a sub really allows the sound to shine.

I have used many brands of rechargeable batteries over the years and these are best. They cost a little more than some, but save ton of money because they last for years and recharge so many times. There are a lot cheapo iffy rechargeable batteries out there. They just don’t tend to last long. Eneloop: https://amzn.to/3KbCTz1 First review: I love everything about this instrument. A guitar, keyboard and synth with FX all rolled into an instrument you can play, record in the studio with or perform on stage. Amazing. Some reviewers have had concerns over power and batteries. The Keytar does have a 9 volt power supply adapter but you can trade that out for a portable power bank like these: https://amzn.to/3UN4vRh Get a nice one. You can find them that fit in your back pocket or velcro it to the back of the Keytar. And get yourself a step up cable like this one. https://amzn.to/4dp5iix The cable converts USB power to 9 volts to power the Keytar. You will be jacked in and have power for hours! I hope this review is helpful.

I was looking for an alternative to learn to play keyboard as a bass/guitar player, and this was an excellent choice. It is fairly easy to figure out the innards of the processor and a myriad of sound options. This is an amazing instrument and lots of fun.

Gift recipient was well pleased. Liked the interchangeable plates.

Well, I have had this keytar for 4 months now, and the only drawback (Which is a big one) is the fact that it doesn't have an internal rechargable batteries, so I had to get 16 batteries (8 for the keyboard and 8 as a back up for live situations) plus a charger. Products of this era had to come with built-in batteries... The rest of the keytar is amazing. Good patches, nice options, stereo, the app, the looks, etc.

This thing is AWESOME. I have been playing guitar for almost 15 years, and have been really looking for something to help me take my basic keyboard skills to the next level. This instrument sounds and feels very professional and is insanely fun to play. The touch pad/pressure bar allows you to add a ton of expression to your playing, and the additional neck buttons help you really make your sound your own. I understand they can be remapped too. There are a TON of preset instruments, including guitars, and so far I think they all sound pretty good. I really recommend this to anyone looking to step up their keyboard playing. And one last note, the fact that I can stand up and walk around whole playing this really helps encourage me to practice playing with it.

I love my Keytar, It has so many sound options, my favorite is the vocoder. I have been using it pretty much at every gig to play the melody. Shoulder strap came with it, along with an extra silver blade. This AX Keytar is not as heavy as the earlier models from Roland even with all the batteries in it. It takes quite a few batteries, they do not last long, always have extras near by. I was able to play 1 1/2 shows with a fresh set of batteries. But all in all, I love it! Can't put it down.

This thing is awesome!

I am a Roland fan boy from way back. I've always wanted this keytar since it first came out. I'm sorry Roland but I can't say anything good about it. The is one of the most expensive paper weights I own. It's very awkward to play and the presets sound terrible. Yet another thing that's going to collect dust in my studio.
