The Roland AX-Edge in white is a 49-key keytar synthesizer built for musicians who perform at the front of the stage. Featuring full-size velocity-sensitive keys with channel aftertouch, 256-voice polyphony, and the ZEN-Core sound engine, the AX-Edge delivers serious synthesis power in a performance-first instrument designed to be worn and played standing up.

Sound Engine & Stage Performance

The AX-Edge features customizable Edge Blades (gold on the white model) that let you personalize its striking stage presence. A ribbon controller and modulation bar provide expressive real-time control, while seven assignable buttons put your most-used parameters within thumb's reach. The built-in vocoder with XLR mic input enables live vocal processing. Over 500 preset tones cover everything from screaming leads to lush pads, and you can edit sounds wirelessly via the Bluetooth-connected AX-Edge Editor app on your phone. Battery operation (8x AA NiMH) provides approximately four hours of cable-free performance.
