Reset a Roland Lucina AX-09 Shoulder Synthesizer

The keytar is making a comeback in both ironic and un-ironic contexts. One thing’s for sure, this is a unique looking keyboard. It’s space age and toy-like but professional at the same time, with a good measure of home keyboard feel thrown in too. This amazing 37-key synth lets you play expressively, even when you attach a strap and play it on the move. Build-quality is similar to its more expensive brother (though still pretty plasticky) and the off-white case looks a little uninspiring. However, for a little more outlay, there is a black version available that looks more serious. The Lucina AX-09 can be run on mains or battery power and has plenty onboard in terms of sounds and features.

According to several user reviews, they have praised a Roland Lucina AX-09 for the Compact and easy to use; A good range of usable sounds onboard; USB audio file playback; Cool look and compact size; Many impressive sound presets. Also, some users have complained it for the limited editing; Mod bar gets in the way of the ribbon controller; Black version costs more; Could use more synth sounds.

Amazing to me that the CORRECT method to reset my Roland Ax-09 was found here, although the Roland site and owners Manual gave an INCORRECT procedure. I bought this instrument from SWEETWATER but their service dept. although offering that my problem may be a need of factory reset, they had no idea how to do that.

And so, like all smart internet folks today, I simply googled it and found your answer. THANKS !
