Anyone buying the AX synth would more than likely be buying it for the starp on controllor side of things anyway and possibly playing external modules/Synths,given the price of the AX1/7 Reaching almost that of the cost of the AX synth,its a good buy,the internal engines simply a bonus even if it sounds shit.
If I didn't already own an AX1 I would be interesting in purchasing the AX Synth,I'm glad that Roland have seen an opening in the market for demand of such types of controllors,even if they've bolted on a less than pro Rompler engine.
