Step into the Spotlight
Today's audiences crave dynamic performances that stand out. As an artist, you want to connect with your fans and take your moment in the spotlight. The AX-Edge builds on decades of refinement and learning from artists the world over about what makes the ultimate performance synthesizer. The AX-Edge has a sleek, modern design with a customizable look via interchangeable Edge Blades, 49 full-sized keys, and a sound set crafted specifically for keytarists. And throughout the AX-Edge, you'll find thoughtful design features that give you the freedom and confidence to truly express yourself on stage.
Give Your Stage Presence the Edge
Stage presence is everything, and you work hard to develop your image as a solo performer or band. The AX-Edge is designed to not only look stunning on stage, but also to match your own unique style. It's available in black or white, and each color has individual design elements that make it stand out, like the "none-more-black" keys and removable Edge Blades. The AX-Edge comes with an extra Edge Blade in the box (a silver Edge Blade for the black model and a gold Edge Blade for the white) and you can even create your own original designs. Create a look that complements your band's style or swap out Edge Blades to keep things fresh.
From Stage-Ready Classics to Custom-Made Tones
We didn't cram generic preset sounds into the AX-Edge—it has a curated sound set driven by our ZEN-Core Synthesis System. The onboard sounds are optimized for stage performance to produce sounds that cut through, even in a loud band. Dedicated buttons for favorite sounds give you instant access to edgy leads, big fat basses, and all manner of keyboard sounds perfect for the performing keytarist, whether it's taking a solo or sharing the limelight with your bandmates. Customize your sounds wirelessly by connecting to the AX-Edge editor app with Bluetooth MIDI or take advantage of available ZEN-Core Sound Packs and Wave Expansions. Splits and layers utilize the expansive, full-sized keyboard, and a wealth of stunning new effects, including a master compressor and EQ, give you polished, studio-quality tone in any venue. And thanks to the Tone Remain function, you can switch sounds seamlessly without notes or effect tails being cut off prematurely.
AX-Edge Editor
Take Control of Your Performance—with Both Hands
Unlike keyboardists who perform behind a traditional keyboard rig, keytar players know the thrill of tearing it up right in front of their adoring fans. And when your moment comes, the AX-Edge gives you the hands-on control to nail your performance, giving it subtle nuance or over-the-top intensity. The AX-Edge's neck controls, refined over years of development and artist feedback, are highly intuitive and truly take your performance to another level. While your right hand will appreciate the supremely playable keyboard, your left hand will love the modulation bar, pressure sensitive pitch ribbon, and easy-to-reach controls for portamento, hold, octave switch, and program change. If desired, many controls can be reassigned to functions that perfectly suit your performance style.
The Stage-Ready, Performance-Focused Powerhouse
As a gigging keyboard player, a lot can fall on your shoulders. You cover lots of different sounds and parts, often acting as the backbone of a performance and filling in any gaps. With this reality in mind, the AX-Edge has thoughtful performance features that aid you in the heat of battle. An innovative dual display system keeps you in command at all times, while the onboard arpeggiator and song player can handle backing duties while you concentrate on slaying your audience. And the built-in vocoder, which can be layered with internal sounds, is just the thing for unique backing vocals or funky, retro lead parts.
Modern Convenience
While they may not stand out as much as its striking good looks and killer sound set, the AX-Edge has several convenient features that greatly expand its usability for today's keytarist. The USB memory function provides full backup capability, so you're ready if disaster strikes. It's also a capable master controller for rack modules or plug-in synths. And Bluetooth MIDI and nearly four hours of battery life* free you from wires, so you can throw caution to the wind and leave it all on the stage.
*Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries only.
Ever-Expanding
AX-Edge is part of an expandable platform, so it can be updated with new sounds and capabilities. Since it uses our ZEN-Core Synthesis System, you can load ZEN-Core Sound Packs and Wave Expansions for fresh tones across a range of genres via Roland Cloud Manager.

Best customer service, no question too silly, took time to explain and was an enjoyable experience. We travelled a long way after a recommendation and weren’t disappointed.
Yamaha PSRSX920 Keyboard
Excellent service. arrived on time removed my part exchange piano and set up new keyboard ready for use.
Yamaha PSRSX920 Keyboard
Delivered Sx 920 and collected Px. Fair deal and excellent service. I didnt have a box for my px but they were not bothered by that. Keyboard set up on delivery and tested. I didnt need more than that because I was familiar with the way it works. There are differences between the G1 and Sx920 but the basics are the same.
Roland FP30XP-B Piano
The service couldn’t have been better. I told Steve my budget, he gave me his opinion, I tried several pianos within my budget and way above it and was able to make my decision easily. There was only useful help and advice at hand - no pushiness! Thank you.
Korg PA5X61 Keyboard
Excellent service from Steve who showed me what the keyboard would do. The shop is much easier to get to and has a large carpark.
Yamaha Refurbished P525B Piano
Couldn't have been more helpful particularly as I was buying this piano without trying it or seeing it. I was able to part exchange my old keyboard and this too was hassle free - it was collected at the same time as the new piano was delivered. Great service from a great company with very helpful staff.
Yamaha Pre-Owned DGX670-B Piano
The guys at Keysound really have great knowledge. It's obvious they enjoy their work which means I enjoyed being in the store.
Enthusiastic people really do up the level of service.
Roland HP704-DR Piano
The service at Keysound is second to none, and the expertise of Steve, the manager, is outstanding! Although I am a retired piano teacher, I learnt so much about digital pianos in the couple of hours I spent at Keysound. The technology has advanced so far since I bought my last Roland, 20 years ago, that I would have been lost without Steve’s guidance. Every aspect of my purchase at Keysound, including delivery and installation, was made so easy by Steve and his staff. I cannot fault this wonderful company!
