Ju135 « Really not bad ... The guitarists will make us the head! »
Published on 05/14/10 at 12:45~ Keyboard 49 keys (→ 4 octaves) expandable to 10 octaves (121 keys!), Super synth touch, I thought would never love the light touch, this keyboard made me change my mind! (Along with a touch GHS to play standing up, it was hot ^ ^)
~ 8 families of sounds, each with 32 presets + 8 sounds "Supernatural".
... Edit. I say all this in "Sounds"
~ Controllers? Excellent! Just see side by side "modulation bar" and "touch controller" are made with massacres! (With Synths and Lead Guitar, it's killer!). Here you can leave the instinct to work!
Do not forget the wheel called "aftertouch", which will often grind once you put her thumb (left hand) on it ^ ^ Very useful!
We suspect therefore that the keyboard is not responsive to aftertouch because the wheel I'm talking about above replaces this function, that being said let's not forget, here we have a synth at less than 1000 € ... = p
~ The connections? All that is necessary.
Midi IN & OUT: For example, I have a master keyboard (ie with no built-in sounds) 88 key GHS (Yam 'KX8, which suits me). If I want to play with the sounds of AX-Synth 88 keys in my browsing is possible.
-On the headphone jack (stereo);
Output in 2-mono: L (mono) and R;
-The key decision "Foot Pedal" if you want to make the piano "normal"!
-The DC-IN to the power supply sector;
-Finally, the USB to edit the instrument, or work on the sequencer!
UTILIZATION
~ The usage is easy!
I unpacked it, I plugged it (too lazy to fetch / 8 recharge Ni-MH), and the monster immediately showed me what was in the belly ... ownership has been rapid, "instinctive" ^ ^
~ The manual? Nickel also, I've thrown a quick glance to operate the machine as possible, and for the record, the first feature on which I came was the "charging battery" by pressing the both "Shift" + "V-Link", it was the% battery remaining NICKEL ... I say! = D
As I mention, I think that autonomy is at least 6 hours ... personally I'm fine =) ...
/! Choose rechargeable Ni-MH with THE GREATEST mA / H (milliamp hour), the greater the capacity the more you're comfortable = D
I recovered 8 old Ni-MH to my home, but it is important to have a second set of batteries (if extreme), I am taken from 8 to 2700 mAH, there for 40 € and will be quickly damped yet!
SOUNDS
~ 8 families of sounds, each with 32 presets:
Synth Lead 1, Lead 2 Synth, Bass, Lead Guitar, Brass / Poly Synth, Strings / Pad; Organ / Clavinet, Choir / Piano ...
... And 8 sounds SuperNATURAL / Special Tone
It gives us a total of 264, BUT BEWARE, there will be a small package of sounds which I will use it (Except maybe if I take the time to edit them using the software "AX-synth editor" downloadable from the Roland's official website ... I have not tried it yet because right now I do not feel the need to explicitly ...)
/! The sounds are good but VERY good!
Arbitrarily, I Synths site of course, Lead Guitar course, but to my surprise, the sounds of acoustic pianos (yes, really!) And electric (Wurlitzer & Rhodes) (I was expecting sthg of bof '
.
I have a "kiff" on the wah-wah clavinet (No. 26) which I will use a lot!
Some organs are cool, some slicks -Strings/Pad- too, but he lost my taste, including "softer / trippy" ... (maybe I should edit?)
The bass is insane! I immediately thought of Herbie Hancock's Chameleon and discovering the first preset! ^ ^
It also has the superb "Jazz Scat", well known as it is apparently often found in Roland synths (for its sensitivity to velocity) = D ...
Basically: There's something for ALL STYLES! It sounds a funk, jazz, electronica, rock, metal, etc ... but also sounds techno music (I never practice).
Basically I think this is THE versatile synth ... (and you wear it however you want = P)
ps: the effects are glued to the sounds, reverb or delay, we are required by ... (with the wheel of aftertouch can sometimes change the rate effect) BUT if you edited the machine with the software is normally editable / customizable to 100%.
OVERALL OPINION
I have since early May 2010 ...
It's been a year since I needed a keyboard for efficient not to settle for three hours during rehearsals or concerts ...
So I hesitated between a Clavia Nord Stage EX-88 (~ 2800 €), the Korg SV-1 (1800 €), and our little AX-Synth ...
Why did you take him? THREE reasons:
The cheapest (staying versatile!), The lightest / PORTABLE and MORE FUN!
/! I'm Jazz pianist (& Funk / Fusion / Electro Metal Symphony ... and now xD) and I am satisfied with this synth, sounds & its controllers, its effectiveness!
Conclusion:
Normally quite calm temperament on stage with a game that is just as, I might see me change suddenly (I call it musical schizophrenia).
Roland would have warned me: "Emerge from your rack [to blow everything up ...] and fly rock the stage!"
It's a choice I would do without hesitation!
MOUAHHAAHAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!
