Sustaining notes

The AX-Synth provides two controls for holding the notes you are currently playing.

HOLD button

This button allows you to hold the notes you play on the keyboard in much the same way as on an acoustic piano.

Play a note or chord and press [HOLD] to sustain the note(s).

FOOT PEDAL socket

Also called “sustain” or “damper”, an optional footswitch you connect to the FOOT PEDAL socket allows you to hold the notes you play on the keyboard in much the same way as on an acoustic piano.

Optional footswitch (Roland DP-series, BOSS FS-5U)

For obvious reasons, connecting a footswitch to the AX-Synth while using it to move around on stage seems

impractical. In such cases, we recommend using the [HOLD] button.

Note: Please use a Roland DP-series or a BOSS FS-5U foot- switch to ensure that it uses the correct polarity (on when pressed, off when released).

Note: The AX-Synth does not support expression pedals.
