Roland AX-09 Lucina 37-Key Synthesizer Reviews
Just wanted a battery-operated rig that I can take to small parties, gatherings & get-togethers. This more than fits the bill! This, along with the Roland KC-110 keyboard amp and Boss RC-30 looper (all battery powered) give me amazing power at my fingertips!!! As for the Lucina AX-09, it has everything I need in terms of sounds/patches! Some sounds are better than others and downright impressive, while others are just so-so. Piano (my forte') is just so-so on this... but for my type of use its acceptable. I actually plug in a damper pedal for use with piano! And while this is an awesome rig for what I just described, the AX-09 doubles as a controller for my soft-synth's... I put it on my desk at work when there's a break, and via MIDI, fire up the DAW and record my musical ideas right away! The keybed action seems better than my old Roland AX-1 but I'm still waiting for the day they come up with hammer-action on Keytar / Shoulder synth! I originally had my eye on the AX-Synth (the bigger brother version of this), but after playing for an hour or more, you start to feel the weight around your neck... sure glad it wasn't the AX-Synth around my neck for an hour as it weighs a lot more than the Lucina AX-09! For a portable Keytar / shoulder synth, the 3 octaves worth of keys does the job! Having the +/- to shift up/down an octave on the fly works well as its in a location that's easy/natural to get to. The handle area that you hold with your non-playing hand has controls near it that the handle makes a bit difficult to get to... but you get used to it. If you have big hands however, it may be a problem. Overall, I'm very happy with the Lucina AX-09. I can't rate support as I never had to deal with Roland support... so its really not fair that its a "required" rating for this review.
