Roland AX-Synth owner manual Controlling a MIDI-compatible sound source

Using a wireless system to connect the AX-Synth to your amplifier, etc.

Using a commercially available wireless system and bat- teries has the advantage that you are free in your move- ments on stage—with no cables to worry about.

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

(1)Connect the wireless transmitters to the OUTPUT jacks on the AX-Synth’s rear panel.

Wireless transmitters

Note: The shape of the wireless connectors depends on the model you are using.

Note: If your amplifier is monaural, you need only one transmitter. Connect it to the L/MONO socket.

(2)If the wireless receiver is intended for low-level signals (high input sensitivity), set the [ATT] switch to the “ON” position to reduce the AX-Synth’s audio output level.

“ATT” is short for “attenuator”.

(3)Connect the wireless receiver’s audio output(s) to the mixing console, amplifier, etc.

Note: See page 27 for details about the AX-Synth’s MIDI functions.

Controlling the AX-Synth from an external MIDI device

The AX-Synth’s tone generator can also receive MIDI data and play the notes using the currently selected sound. The AX-Synth always receives on the MIDI chan- nel that has the same number as the transmit channel you select (see p. 27).

(1)Connect the AX-Synth’s MIDI IN socket to the MIDI OUT socket of the instrument that should control the AX-Synth.
