what's the price??!!

[PauloF]

According to Roland's Ed Diaz at Namm09, street price will be USD $1095,00

- price is okay

- It is (looks) to big

- Audio & MIDI is nice but, I don't like to walk on stage with 3 cables

- I wish it had a standard wireless connection to a "AX-module".

- I'd like to have normal aftertouch (and not with a knob)

conclusion: I'll keep my AX-1

Hi everyone.. this is my first post on this site..
Im a keytar player (I have the Roland AX-7 with custom wireless midi inside of the unit)..I tried the roland AX Synth on NAMM 09...

-Its a little bit heavy but its fine

-looks and feels more "profesional" like a musical instrument, very well built
(I think that my AX-7 feels like a toy compared to a keyboard)

-I REALLY LOVE THE KEY ACTION OF THE NEW AX SYNTH!
The keys feels like my Fantom G.

-The sounds are fine... I just tested the acordeon sounds.
The distortion guitar sounds very nice.

I apologize for my bad english.

Teknoss, thank you very much for your review! It's nice to hear you liked the AX Synth, all sounds like it's a promising new product.

Hopefully no one will ever buy an ol' AX-1 or AX-7 so I can get one 5th hand for cheap.

Sammy is eating his words...

That AX-Synth is actually the bomb. I liked what I saw on that SonicState video. The only problem that I have with it is that at ten pounds, I might personally have some problems holding it up for long periods. But hey -- who cares? I don't play live anymore anyway...

But seriously -- I do like it. I think that they did some nice things, especially with the control section. I'm thrilled that they put the octave buttons back where they belong -- right on the headstock. And you can program your own sounds, and this is what the USB for -- not for using on stage. Makes much more sense now.

Thanks.

Someday, I hope they include a wireless MIDI and audio interface option. M-Audio had the MidAir for a short while, but it is no longer in production. buyin wireless midi and audio interfaces to roam free is more expensive than the AX itself!
