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.
