Custom painted Roland AX-7 inspired by Henrik Klingenbergs AX-1. It’s signed by Sonata Arctica. It’s my first keytar and it’s so much fun to play!

    This is a great way to check whether the horrible asshole mods from /r/guitar are moderating here without specifically asking. 😂

    For some reason I cant reply directly to @treczoks@kbinsocial

    So here is this.

    It’s never been an official term, I think back in time they were called “shoulder synths” but someone noticed it’s a keyboard played like a guitar and someone was like "ooh "keytar! "came about and it was just way catchier, thus the keytar moniker was born!

    At least I think that’s how it went. It’s been years since I looked into it, so I coupd be full of shit. Someone correct me if I am wrong tho. Too lazy to active research right now.

            Its like 7 years old, like all things, it was funny at the time, 2.1m views is fair evidence of that. Although steve terry berry is a bit cringe in general.

            But i have to say it’s fairly ironic calling that cringe when you have a keytar, and one signed by Sonata Arctica at that.

            And i say that both as a fan of Sonata Arctica, and an owner of a roland ax synth.

            Djent as a genre isn’t cringe, its metal af. Much like Sonata Arctica

              Like I get the joke, but it’s not my sense of humor. So I kinda winced. Might have been a kond of dickish reply, but that was my genuine reaction to seeing that at the time.

              How did so many wubcubs find me on here so recently?

                Yeah, it is pretty cringe these days. I agree. At the time it was pretty funny. But only because what “funny” is, changes like the wind. We grow up, we evokve, new generations and social media platforms redefine whats funny and what is cringe.

                This had ita moment, but it was fleeting.

          Did you guys look me up after the catastrophe last night?

          3 wubby fans finding me on here after that is surprising to say the least.

            I am looking at buying a roland fa-06 and wanted to see if there were any roland communities on lemmy (since i dont use reddit anymore) to see if anyone had one or had opinions on them. Saw your post with the keytar in the search resulta and just read through the comments. I saw someone else realised you were the talent show wubcub and felt like i needed to post.

            Good to know there are others on lemmy.

              Yeah. I’m done with the wubby community after last night though.

              Got burned for no reason at the talent show, (won the community vote with 2.7k votes no less)

              Then with the film contest. After putting so much work into our submission, and them not airing it at all was very disappointing.

              Tried to share it to the subreddit to ask what we did wrong (met all the criteria and time constraints) and got fucking torn to shreds (the cunts didn’t watch the submission, they were just being assholes.)

              So I’m done. I try to engage, contribute to, and be a part of the community, but there are too many brain rotted shitbags.

              I give up there lol.

              Sorry for the rant.

                  Yeah, nah I’m pissed and done with the community. The good that came out of it is that we had so much fun making it, we are jist gonna keep making more.

    Sick! Great to see another keytar lover. I have the AX-Edge which is a much heavier beast but also fun to play.

      I had one! I just sold it though, because I never used it. And I needed to cover medical bills. It was also way too bulky for my liking.

        Yeah it is just slightly too bulky, but does work better for two handed playing if you don’t mind T-Rex arms.

          Sounds to me like you need a longer strap, or to relocate where you have it attached. I used the two middle points. Was able to use it two handed no worries.

      There are a few out there with mini keys. I think KORG makes one. Look into it! I haven’t played in months at this point, but they are so much fun to play on.

      What if I told you that I play acoustic guitars, electric guitars, synth guitars, keytar, and synths? I appreciate the whole spectrum from end to end.
