AX-EDGE 49-Key Keytar Synthesizer + MIDI Controller

KeyboardDigitalPolyphonic

Imagine strapping on a synthesizer that lets you command the stage like a rock legend, with full-sized keys that feel right at home while you prowl the crowd.

Powered by Roland's ZEN-Core engine, it delivers 256-note polyphony across 4 parts plus a vocoder with dedicated mic input, pulling from over 500 curated preset tones optimized for leads, basses, and solos that cut through any mix. The 49 velocity-sensitive keys with channel aftertouch pair with a ribbon controller, modulation bar, assignable knob, and pedal input for fluid expression, while splits, layers, arpeggiator, and Tone Remain ensure seamless live switches. Dual displays make navigation intuitive even mid-performance, and effects like 90 part/program multi-FX, chorus, reverb, compressor, and EQ polish your sound. Battery-powered with up to 5 hours from rechargeable Ni-MH packs, it weighs just over 9 pounds in a sleek keytar body with swappable Edge Blades for custom style, plus Bluetooth app editing, USB song playback, and full MIDI control.

Players love its stage-ready reliability and how the expressive controls spark creativity, though some note the battery life demands spares for long gigs.
