Features
The keytar synthesizer introduces customizable edge blades (a silver Edge Blade for the black model and a gold Edge Blade for the white model), which is a distinction from other keytars.{{Cite web|url=https://www.keyboardmag.com/gear/roland-unveils-ax-edge-keytar|title=Roland Unveils AX-Edge Keytar|last=Magazine|first=Keyboard|website=KeyboardMag|language=en-us|access-date=2019-05-30}} The USB memory function and Bluetooth, along with MIDI are included. The keyboard has 49 full-sized keys with velocity and aftertouch, with 256 notes of polyphony. Vocoder, Mic Input, and 500 preset tones are present - which can be switched seamlessly without unnatural sound cut off. However, the synthesizer does not have the D-Beam controller, which was added to Roland's preceding keytars.{{Cite web|url=https://www.musiciansfriend.com/keyboards-midi/roland-ax-edge-keytar-synthesizer|title=Musician's Friend:Roland AX-Edge Keytar Synthesizer|website=www.musiciansfriend.com}}{{cite web|url=https://www.musictech.net/reviews/roland-ax-edge-keytar-review/|title=Musictech Review:Roland AX-Edge Keytar|website=www.musictech.net|first=Dave|last=Gale|date=January 4, 2019}}
