Keyboard players from another era had a great idea: let\u2019s get out from behind our boards and shine. Thus, the keytar was born. While some remember this instrument as a relic of the eighties, make no mistake, the keytar back, and it’s racking up cool points all over the place! And that’s not just marketing speak. The proof is in the pudding, on stages all over the world.<\/a> So, let\u2019s discuss how some of the features on Roland’s most versatile keytar, the Lucina AX-09,<\/a> can help you become a keytar shredder. And then you, too, can join your front man and guitar player on stage.<\/p>\n

1. The Keytar Must Have Killer\u00a0Sounds…<\/em><\/h2>\n

The sounds on the Lucina AX-09 were hand picked from the AX-Synth<\/a>. We took our favorites and included a few more\u00a0for good measure. You\u2019ll get some aggressive leads and guitar sounds, too. Ed Diaz, our synth ninja, has a good demo playing the national anthem\u00a0\u00e0 la Jimi Hendrix. Well, not quite Hendrix. Check out this video, you\u2019ll get the idea.<\/p>\n
