(5) Release the [SHIFT] button.
Selecting ‘SuperNATURAL’ and
‘SPECIAL’ Tones
There are four “SuperNATURAL” and four “SPECIAL”
Tones for breathtakingly realistic solo performances.
Selecting ‘SuperNATURAL’ Tones
SuperNATURAL is Roland’s breakthrough
sound-generating technology that
enables a new level of realism and
expression. SuperNATURAL reproduces
the delicate, organic tonal changes and
playing nuances of acoustic and electric
musical instruments.
The AX-Synth contains four SuperNATURAL sounds:
VIOLIN, CELLO, SHAKUHACHI and TROMBONE.
(1) Connect the AX-Synth to your amplifier (page 14)
and switch it on (page 17).
(2) Press the [SuperNATURAL÷SPECIAL¥TONE] button.
(3) Press one of the first four TONE buttons to select
the corresponding SuperNATURAL Tone.
See the blue legends above the buttons.
Note: Switch off the [SuperNATURAL÷SPECIAL¥TONE] but-
ton if you want to select a “regular” Tone again.
Selecting ‘SPECIAL’ Tones
There are four “special” Tones: TRUMPET, SAX, STRINGS
and JAZZ SCAT. These sounds are based on a different
technology than SuperNATURAL Tones.
(1) Connect the AX-Synth to your amplifier (page 14)
and switch it on (page 17).
(2) Press the [SuperNATURAL÷SPECIAL¥TONE] button.
(3) Press one of the last four TONE buttons to select
the corresponding SPECIAL Tone.
Note: Switch off the [SuperNATURAL÷SPECIAL¥TONE] but-
ton if you want to select a “regular” Tone again.
Grouping frequently-used Tones
(FAVORITE)
The AX-Synth provides 16 “FAVORITE” memories where
you can “compile” the Tones you want to select at the
press of two buttons during a live performance.
If you like, you can change the volume and Reverb Send
levels of the Tones before assigning them to the FAVOR-
ITE memories (see p. 26).
Assigning a Tone to a FAVORITE memory
(1) Select the Tone you want to assign to a FAVORITE
memory.
See “Editing the volume and Reverb Send levels” on
p. 26 if you want to change the Tone’s volume and/or
Reverb Send level before saving it.
(2) Press the [WRITE] button (it flashes).
(3) Press the FAVORITE [A] or [B] button to select the
bank.
The FAVORITE button you press lights and the display
shows “A -” (bank “A”) or “b -” (bank “B”).
(4) Press one of the eight TONE buttons to specify the
target memory (see the red numbers below the
buttons).
The button you press lights and the
[WRITE] button
goes dark.
Note: To select a “regular” Tone again, press the [A] or [B]
button that lights to switch it off.
