Connection panel (rear)

U V

UOUTPUT R & L/MONO sockets

These 1/4” sockets need to be connected to the inputs of a keyboard amplifier, mixer, etc. To take advantage of the AX-Synth mobility factor, consider using a commercially available wireless system.

Note: If you can/want to use only one channel on your external amplifier, connect the L/MONO socket to its input. For optimum sound quality, we recommend working in ste- reo, though.

Note: Be sure to only use wireless transmitters that comply with local radio regulations.

VATT ON/OFF switch

If you are using 1/4” cables to connect the AX-Synth to an amplifier, etc., slide this switch to the “OFF” position.

If you notice distortion while using a wireless system, slide this switch to the “ON” position to reduce the level of the AX-Synth’s audio output signal.

Note: Be sure to only use wireless transmitters that comply with local radio regulations.

WPHONES socket

This is where you can connect a pair of optional headphones (Roland RH-25, RH-50, RH-200, RH-300, etc.).

XCord hook (1)

This hook is intended to secure the MIDI cable con- nected to the MIDI OUT socket when you are using the AX-Synth as a shoulder keyboard. This is a safe- guard against accidental disconnection.

YMIDI OUT, IN sockets

Connect the MIDI IN socket to the device that should transmit MIDI messages to the AX-Synth. Connect the MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI instrument you wish to control with your AX-Synth.

ZUSB port

Connect this port to a free USB port on your com- puter using an “A—B”-type USB cable.

aFOOT PEDAL socket

This is where you can connect an optional Roland DP-series pedal.

Note: Though you can also connect an expression pedal, any pedal you connect will act as Hold pedal.

cDC IN socket

This is where you can connect the supplied PSB-1U adaptor.

dCord hook (2)

If you connect the supplied adaptor to the DC IN socket, be sure to wind its cable around this hook as a safeguard against accidental disconnection.
