Why is it innovative?

Roland first entered the keytar market with the SH-101 in 1983, so the AX-Synth is far from being a new concept. However, releasing a revised version for a young market obsessed with the sounds and fashion of the ’80s is a stroke of genius, and as cutting edge as any other idea we’ve seen this year.

MusicRadar’s verdict:

“The AX-Synth is great fun to use, it looks fantastic and the onboard sounds are a real bonus and are generally very useable. We want one!” (Read the full Roland AX-Synth review)
