Claim Your Place On Stage!

The Roland AX-7 is what keyboardists need to get out from behind a wall of racks! The AX-7 MIDI controller picks up where the legendary AX-1 left off, letting you strap on an AX-7 and stalk the stage without giving up an ounce of synth control. The AX-7's host of realtime controllers - including a D-Beam - let you experience a brave new world of dynamic performance. The AX-7 has a 45-note keyboard controller with velocity-sensitive keys. The keyboard can be divided into independently controllable upper and lower parts and features an LED display for easier programming and confident performances. Expanded patch memory in the AX-7 holds up to 128 different setups and can be backed up to an external MIDI storage device for safekeeping or to make room for more patches. The AX-7 is also great at controlling modern sound modules, since it's fully compatible with GM2/GS sound sets. What's more, the AX-7 can be powered by battery or AC. Roland AX-7 Features:
  • 45-note velocity-sensitive keyboard-perfect for solos and bass lines
  • Intuitive operation via new 7-segment LED display
  • 5 realtime controllers: Data Entry knob, Touch Controller, Expression Bar, Hold button and light-sensing D-Beam
  • 128 patches with data backup via MIDI
  • 2 MIDI zones for independent control of Upper/Lower parts
  • GM2/GS Compatible
  • Battery or AC powered

I love the AX-7

by Leon Ho from Singapore
December 26, 2006
Music Background: Musician
This delicious piece of equipment rocks my socks. I bought it so I could perform guitar synthesis without having a keyboard in front of me, and it's such a refreshing feeling. Especially considering I... read more [+]'m the vocalist of my band: I can't be up front if there's a keyboard in front of me, there's no mobility. The high velocity keys are superb, the lightweight design is perfect for playing gigs....no complaints from me. close [-]

My Samurai Sword is a Keytar...

by Eric Stetson from Marietta, GA USA

Music Background: Composer/Performer
This is probably the coolest thing I've ever spent too much money on. And I've done that lots of times so that's saying something... Solid, sturdy body with awesome features, the touch controller and ... read more [+]expression bar work wonderfully and I haven't even figured out the d-beam quite yet. I feel like some kinda crazy axe-murdering psycho when I rock this thing out (which is awesome) and bought special sunglasses for use only when playing the keytar (which I have named "Jack the Ripper"). I'd suggest hooking it up to a box like the Roland JV-1010, or pulling out an old keyboard (I resurrected my old Yamaha Porta-Sound
pss 480) and pull the sounds from that via supplied MIDI cable. This goes beyond "midi controller", people will LOVE you for having it. I feel like I have a ferrari or a really big pool because of the popularity this has brought me. Basically it's awesome, and me and Jack will be getting married in September. close [-]

Awesome Stage Keyboard

by Tristan Hightower from
December 5, 2006
Music Background: current pianist in band
This keyboard has great sound effects. You do sometimes have to hit the keys a little harder to get proper sound. It would be awesome for anyone in a band. You can distort sounds on it. If you use the... read more [+] strap you probably need to use one hand to play. I like this keyboard because it has awesome sound, is light, and its great quality. Overall it is an awesome keyboard!!! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

David Klausner
If you are a keyboard player with the soul of a guitarist and you want to escape from the rack of gear in the back of the stage and move to the front, the AX7 is your ticket! Everything from the D-Beam, to the ribbon control, to the expression bar is designed to put you center stage. Enjoy the limelight.
