Thread Name: Using a Roland AX7 keytar help required
Subject: Using a Roland AX7 keytar help required
This is a new thread, following my old thread in '05, asking what the Roland AX7 was. For those who don't know, as I found out, then, it is a keyboard you can wear like a guitar and use to play another keyboard through, or other sound source. It is portable and you can walk about with it on stage, like a guitar... ;-)
(! :-)For those who think it is a daft instrument and a gimmick, yep, you are probably right but I got chance of this one mint condition one second-hand and want to have some fun playing it but don't want to spend a lot more money, or get bogged down with technical stuff about it! ) Currently, I play it by connecting through a keyboard. I would like to have another source of sounds for it, so that I can take it along to local jam nights, or similar and play without having to cart laptop or another keyboard with me. Perhaps a small sound module or similar. I know very little about them so am wondering if anyone can advise me. I already have a Casio keyboard and a privia stage piano but would like something smaller than them to give me an alternative option for sound sources. I will try to post a link after this, so you can see the beast in photographic glory! Thanks for any useful help you can give.
