AX-09 (Black Sparkle): Keytar Synthesizer
Freedom of Expression
Who says keyboardists need to hide behind their gear? Liberate yourself and roam free with the AX-09 Keytar Synthesizer. The AX-09 Keytar is compact, lightweight, and loaded with great sounds, all easily selectable with the onboard category buttons. Plug in a USB stick and add backing tracks to your performances with the Audio Player function, or plug in an MP3/CD player and jam along with your favourite songs. This ultra-light Keytar synth is designed to fit all musicians. It’s super easy to use yet it packs a heavyweight musical punch with its stellar sounds and expressive controls.
Great Sounds
The AX-09 Keytar is packed with dozens of high quality sounds spanning a wide stylistic range from scorching synth leads to silk-smooth pads. Find the perfect sound quickly with the category buttons, and press the preview button to hear the currently selected sound with a pre-programmed riff. Assign your top 12 sounds to the favourites bank for instant, one button recall. Volume and reverb level settings can be stored with each Favourite.
Battery Power
Plug into traditional power with an AC adaptor (included) or roam free with batteries. Jam for hours* with eight standard AA batteries installed (Ni-MH AA rechargeable batteries). A battery-strength indicator lets you know when battery power is getting low so you never miss a note onstage.
*Approximately four hours of continuous use per 8-battery load.
Audio Player
The built-in Audio Player feature lets you sound like an entire band. Simply load up a USB stick with your favourite songs in MP3, WAV, or AIFF format, plug it into AX-09's USB port, select the song you want, press Play, and jam along!
Hands-On Control
Put a personal stamp on your performances with the expressive controllers built into AX-09. Wave your hands over the invisible D Beam for dramatic effects, and dig your fingers into the Modulation Bar and Touch control to bend, twist, and sculpt each sound you play.
