Full Description

The Roland AX-Edge Keytar, Black is the perfect performance synth, with 49 full-sized keys providing fluid playability. It features a specially-crafted sound library designed specifically for keytarists. Unlike a traditional synth, the keytar allows you to use your synth in the same way you would a guitar. The integrated performance controls on the neck of the instrument provide added flare.

The AX-Edge is also highly portable, featuring a built-in rechargeable battery. It provides up to 4 hours of operation, ensuring it will last until the finish line during your performance. The keytar includes a wide range of premium-grade effects for added versatility. This allows you to take the preset sounds to the next level, adding your own spin. The effects range from high-quality reverbs to compressors and EQ.

Wide range of premium-grade sounds

Using Roland’s latest technology, the AX-Edge provides you with a wide range of studio-grade sounds. The sound library includes curated sounds that have been meticulously selected with keytarists in mind. It also includes dedicated buttons for accessing your favourite sounds. The sound library spans from cutting-edge leads to classic, fat basses.

You can even customise your sounds using the AX-edge editor app. The integrated Bluetooth connectivity allows you to customise your sound set wirelessly. The keytar also features splits and layers allows you to combine different sounds and use two sounds simultaneously. The unique Tone Remain function allows you to switch between sounds without notes or effect tails being affected.

Integrated modulation bar, ribbon controller and more

In addition to the dedicated buttons for sounds, the AX-Edge includes integrated performance controls. The performance controls allow you to take your playing to the next level, providing even more ways to interact and affect sounds. The neck of the keytar featuring a modulation bar and a pitch ribbon controller, allowing you to slide the sound like an electric guitar.

The ergonomic design provides easy-to-reach controls for portamento, hold, octave switch and program change. You can even reassign the controls and functions to customise your performance style.

Incorporate your own style with the Edge Blade

Solidify your stage presence with the customise Edge Blade. The customisable edge allows you to leave your imprint on the instrument, incorporating your personality and image. The AX-Edge comes complete with an extra Edge Blade in the box (gold Edge Blade), allowing you to customise the design to make it stand out more.

Boss' Wireless Technology

For the WL-20L, Boss used the high-performance wireless technology that debuted in the Katana-Air, providing players with incredible sound quality and a wide dynamic range. The system runs at a 2.4 GHz frequency band and automatically selects the optimum channel, delivering a rock-solid audio performance with absolutely no chance for the signal to drop out. The Boss WL-20L also features an ultra-low latency of 2.4ms, ensuring players receive no lag between playing a note and hearing it.

Eliminates Cable Tone Simulation

While the WL-20L is identical to the WL-20, this model is designed with no cable tone simulation. This is ideal for instruments which aren’t affected by cable capacitance in any significant way, like electric/acoustic guitars with onboard preamps, instruments with active pickups, or line-level devices like a keytar or the Roland Aerophone. The WL-20L can also be used with passive pickups if you don’t require the natural treble roll-off.

Quick & Easy Setup

Unlike other wireless systems which have you fiddling with channels, frequencies, and other requirements, the WL-20L only requires you to dock the transmitter in the receiver for 10 seconds. This automatically sets the system up with the optimum connection and lets you simply plug in and start rocking out. This Wireless system also charges via a micro USB cable, letting you charge the transmitter and receiver anywhere in the world.
