Liberate Yourself From Behind That Keyboard Stand!

Someone needs to put guitarists in their place! We love our guitar-playing friends, don't get us wrong. But if you've got the skills on those black-and-white keys, you know that your spotlight has long been infringed upon by your huge piles of gear and equally bulky keyboard stands. And everyone loves a massive keyboard rig, totally true. There's something impressive about it. But sometimes, you've got to step out and enjoy YOUR SHARE of the spotlight. And the Roland Lucina AX-09 is just the synth for the job. Strap on the Roland Lucina AX-09 and you've got 37 keys to control this synth's amazing set of 150 sounds. And you won't believe the diverse set of high-quality sounds packed into this thing. From scorching synth leads to those inspiring smooth pads, the Lucina AX-09 has you covered. And it's 100% performer-ready too. You can quickly find the perfect sound by using the Category buttons. Press the "Preview" button to hear the sound you have currently selected with a pre-programmed riff... it's a great way to audition tunes while you're jamming with the band and don't have a whole lot of time to pick the right one for that newly inspired tune. Once you find the sounds you love, you can program your top 12 to the Favorites bank for 1-button recall. You can even store volume and reverb-level setting with each favorite. Nice!

To ratchet the Roland Lucina AX-09 to another level of awesomeness, it features a built-in audio player. Just load up a USB stick with your favorite songs (in MP3, WAV, or AIFF format), then plug it into the USB port right on the Lucina. Then, choose the song you want, press play, and go on and jam along! It's the best way to practice with your Lucina... or wow the audience with a YOU-ONLY jam in between sets. Be sure to use the invisible D Beam controller for dramatic effects... or get kooky with the Modulation Bar and Touch control to twist and sculpt each and every sound as you play. This thing is fun!

With an included AC adapter, you can use the Lucina AX-09 like a regular synth. But you can also roam free using eight standard AA batteries. There's a battery-strengh indicator, so you always know how long you can roam.

That's the story on the Roland Lucina AX-09... untethered fun and massive synth sounds for the spotlight-loving keyboardist. It's a can't-beat combination.
