Full Parameters
Theparameterslistedinthepagesthatfollowarethefull
parameters.Theycanbeeditedonlyfromtheeditor.
Basic
ThispagecontainsallofthebasicsettingsfortheProgram.
Amongotherthings,youcan:
•SetuptheProgramtobeaSingle,oraDouble
• Enable/disablethehalf‐damperfunction
•CreatekeyboardsplitsettingsforOSC1,OSC2,and
Hold.
• Selectthebasicscaleoftheprogram.
OSC Mode
Oscillator Mode [Single, Double]
ThisspecifiestheProgram’soscillatorassignment;whether
itwilluseoneortwooscillators.
Single:Theprogramwilluseoneoscillator(Oscillator1,Fil‐
ter1,Amplifier1).Inthiscase,theprogramwillnormally
haveamaximumof120‐notepolyphony.
Double:Theprogramwillusetwoosc illators(Oscillator1/
2,Filter1/2,Am
plifier1/2).Inthiscasetheprogramwill
normallyhaveamaximumof60‐notepolyphony.

Half-Damper Control
Ahalf‐damperpedalisaspecialtypeofcontinuousfoot
pedal,suchastheKorgDS‐1H.Incomparisontoastandard
footswitch,half‐damperpedalsoffermoresubtlecontrolof
sustain,whichcanbeespeciallyusefulforpianosounds.
ThePS60willautomaticallysensewhenahalf‐damperis
connectedtotherear‐panelDA MPER/PEDAL/SWinput.
Forproperoperation,youwillalsoneedtocalibratethe
pedal,usingtheHalfDamperCalibrationcommandinthe
