Cheapest way to acquire the Axon technology is to find a second hand 
Yamaha G50. Those have the Axon circuitry (and no onboard sounds, just 
midi-conversion).
They work well with the Roland GK pickups.

Does anyone know much about the "new" Axon pickup?
Previously they sold a GK copy which only differed
from the Roland in price.
