All user reviews for the Roland Lucina AX-09

keyboard style guitar synth touch 3 octaves (typical keyboards roland master of the moment ...). 150 sounds (a bit of everything). no effect / no editing. pitch and modulation wave filter accessible by DBEAM. MIDI connectors (only Out) - USB (MIDI In & Out - No Audio) - Audio In (mini jack) and Out (x2 = mono jack stereo). MP3 player built-in USB key.

UTILIZATION

It's simple ... perhaps too simple. Clear manual. no editing so easy ... but frustrating! This is the time of the discovery that we say that this is perhaps a toy ...

SOUNDS

The sounds are very typical Roland (you must love to enjoy the Lucina ...). This style synth is geared to the scene and to get noticed, to move. In the panoply of sounds, there, suddenly, perhaps too soft cloths and pads that are not consistent with the shape of the synth that lends itself more to lead ... The realistic sounds are realistic and all are playable. There is no waste of the 150 still sounds happy because it is an insufficient number to me for a recent synth ...

OVERALL OPINION

I week. this is my first keytar. I bought it to see if the guitar position gave me a different expression ... At first, I struggled and then it came gradually. I also had a feeling of regret buying but soon passed. It is a simple or extremely simple instrument and we very quickly around.
In a second step, we discover that the keytar position can make sounds and are especially nice. Then it also takes its rightful place by becoming a master keyboard ...
Used for 200 €, if you want to get up from behind your keyboard stool is an excellent choice. I remake this choice tomorrow without worry.

3 octave synth with a "Pitch" button (+3 octave or -3) and "Tune" (Ascent or Descent tone).
This in&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1em;">direct access (dedicated button).</span>

UTILIZATION

This is a&nbsp;very intuitive&nbsp;Keytar (Keyboard / guitar).
I did not even read the manual because it's that simple.

SOUNDS

OVERALL OPINION

6 months that I have it and still not disappointed.
On stage it makes one hell of an impression!
I even see myself as Steve Lukather sometimes! lol
Operates on 8 batteries (4 hours) and can used with a wireless cable for the audio.

Real sounds at the price of a toy!
SonoVente € 499 has aligned on Thomann € 299

You can get the Roland Lucina AX-09 in White or in Black with both units being exactly the same except the color. This handled synthesizer is very portable and compact. Though it only has 37 notes, you can still reach all of your octaves easily. You can run this by a battery or with an AC adapter that comes with it. The battery life last a good amount of time. You will not get a a lot of sounds with the Lucina but you will get some really good once. There are also some small effects like the reverb. You can store all of your favorite sounds and presets together in your “favorites” section bank. There is an built in audio player on the AX-09, you load put audio into it via USB as long as the audio is in MP3 or WAV format. Pick a song and let it play, then you can play along with it. It will be like having a whole band behind you.

UTILIZATION

Understanding how to use the AX-09 and all of its basic functions is very easy. It will take you less than 25 minutes and you will understand how to use this keyboard synth fully. It comes at a great price, though the keys are not the best made keys. They feel very cheap and plastic like but for 350 USD you just cannot beat what you get with this AX-09. It is a great value for your money and you will have a great unit that will bring you lots of fun.

SOUNDS

The built in sounds and presets are ok, nothing to making you want to run out and buy it right way though.

OVERALL OPINION

I think the fun factor of this unit is what the selling point is, there really is not using if for your personal music. It is more of an entertainment piece and a way to have fun and jam out with your friends and family. But you can connect it to your computer via USB and use it as a MIDI controller if you want to.
