Controller Section
The controller section is what you use for performing.
When you press or release the keyboard or press the modulation lever, the controller section sends performance data to the sound
generator section.
The controller section of the AX-Edge consists of the keyboard, the MODULATION BAR, the RIBBON CONTROLLER, and the panel
buttons and knobs.
Sound Generator Section
The sound generator section creates the sound.
It receives performance data sent from the controller section, and produces sound.
Program
On the AX-Edge, programs” are the units by which you switch sounds.
A program consists of four parts and a vocoder part, and also contains arpeggio and effect settings for that program.
Tone
You can select one tone (sound) for each part.
A tone consists of four elements of sound (partials), and you can specify a multi-effect (MFX) for each tone.
You can also edit tones by using an editor app (AX-Edge Editor) on your smartphone.
Effect
The AX-Edge is equipped with a multi-effect for each tone (MFX), a multi-effect that can be specified for each program (IFX), and reverb,
chorus/delay, compressor, and EQ effects that are applied to the final output (system effects).
Reverb and chorus/delay can also be specified and selected for each program.
System
System memory contains system parameter settings that specify how the AX-Edge is to operate.

For details, refer to Assigning the Function of Each Controller” (p. 12).
Installing the Batteries
Eight AA batteries are required to run the AX-Edge on battery
power. We recommend the use of rechargeable AA-type Ni-MH
batteries. With these batteries you can expect about four hours
of continuous operation, although this depends on how the AX-Edge
is being used.
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons and
knobs from damage. Also, handle the unit carefully; do not drop it.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and fluid leakage.
Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items related to batteries
that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES”
(leaflet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and Owners manual (p. 22)).
1.
Turn off the power of the AX-Edge (p. 8).
2.
While pressing inward on the tabs of the bottom panel
battery compartment cover, remove the cover.
(a) While pressing the tabs
(b) Lift up
3.
Insert the batteries into the battery compartment, taking
care to observe the “+” and “–” polarity.
Be sure that the “+” and “-” markings on the batteries are
oriented correctly.
4.
Close the battery compartment cover.

D Cord hook
If the included AC adaptor is connected to the DC IN jack, secure
the cord to this hook to prevent it from being accidentally
disconnected.
* Use the cord hook to secure the cord of the AC adaptor as shown in the
illustration.
E DC IN jack
Connect the included AC adaptor here.
* Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration)
faces upwards and the side with textual information faces downwards.
The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
* Use only the included AC adaptor. Using any other adaptor may result
in malfunctions or electric shock.
* We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit even
though you’ll be powering it with the AC adaptor. That way, you’ll be
able to continue a performance even if the cord of the AC adaptor gets
accidentally disconnected from the unit.
* If you won’t be using the unit for an extended period of time,
disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC outlet.
F [POWER] switch
This turns the power on/off.
* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down.
Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when
switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate
a malfunction.
G Ground terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you
may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the
surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device,
microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other
objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical
charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are con-
cerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with
an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum
may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If
you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information page.
Unsuitable places for connection
5
Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
5
Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
5
Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the
event of lightning)
H MIDI (IN/OUT) port
Used for connecting external MIDI devices and for transmission
of MIDI messages.
I PEDAL jack
Connect a separately sold Roland DP series or EV-5 pedal.
* Use only the specified expression pedal. By connecting any other
expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the
unit.
J USB MEMORY port
You can connect a USB flash drive here.
Connect or disconnect the USB flash drive while the AX-Edge is
powered-off.
* Use a commercially available USB flash drive or a USB flash drive
sold by Roland. However, we cannot guarantee that all commercially
available USB flash drives will work with this unit.
K USB COMPUTER port
Use a USB cable to connect this port to a USB port of your
computer.
This allows the AX-Edge to operate as a USB MIDI device.
Theres no need to install a driver.
6
Connecting External Equipment
Connecting to an amp or mixer
The AX-Edge does not have an internal amp or speakers. In order
to produce sound, you’ll need to connect it to an audio device
such as a keyboard amp, monitor speakers, or a stereo set, or use
headphones.
1.
Connect the rear panel OUTPUT jacks to the input jacks of
your external device.
Amp or mixer
Make connections using a 1/4” unbalanced (mono) cable. Use a
cable that has the appropriate type of plug for connecting to the
input jack of your device.
* If youre using a mono audio device, connect the cable to the L/MONO
OUTPUT jack.
If you’re using headphones, connect them to the PHONES jack. In
this case theres no need to connect any other audio device.
Connecting via a wireless system to an amp, etc.
If you use a commercially available wireless system and operate
the AX-Edge on batteries, you’ll be able to perform while moving
around on stage free of any cables.
* Be sure to use a wireless transmitter that complies with the wireless
regulations that are applicable in your area.
1.
Connect the wireless transmitter to the rear panel
OUTPUT jacks.
Wireless transmitters
* The shape of the connector depends on the wireless transmitter that
youre using.
* If the amp that you’re using has only a mono channel, connect only one
transmitter to the L/MONO jack of the AX-Edge.
2.
Connect the audio output of the wireless receiver to your
mixer or amp.
Controlling a MIDI sound module
1.
Connect the AX-Edge’s MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN
connector of the sound module or synthesizer that you
want to control.

* As needed, connect the sound module or synthesizer to your amp or
speaker. For details, refer to the owner’s manual of the sound module
or synthesizer that you’re using.
Controlling the AX-Edge from an external MIDI device
The AX-Edge can receive MIDI messages and produce sound using
the program that’s selected on its sound generator.
1.
Connect the MIDI OUT connector of your controlling
device to the AX-Edge’s MIDI IN connector.

MEMO
To specify the MIDI transmit/receive channels, edit the system
parameters Basic Channel and Program Control Channel. If youre
using the master keyboard function, edit the program parameters to
specify the MIDI transmit channel of each part.
For details, refer to “Parameter Guide (PDF).
Connecting a computer or sequencer
If you want to connect the AX-Edge to a computer in which you’ve
installed sequencer software or a software sound module, and
use the AX-Edge as a master keyboard to record or perform, make
connections as follows.

effect. To change the setting, refer to Assigning the Function of Each

change the pitch. Pressure on the controller applies a vibrato-type
effect. To change the setting, refer to Assigning the Function of Each
Controller” (p. 12).

You can disable the AX-Edges RIBBON CONTROLLER operations if
you like. This is convenient when you want to apply an effect only in
