Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Korg PS60 Performance Synthesizer. To help you get the most out
of your new instrument, please read this manual carefully.
Main features
The PS60 Editor and the PS60 Plug-In Editor are applications for Macintosh or Windows that
allow you to edit the PS60’s programs, performance, effects, and global settings.
The PS60 Editor is a stand-alone editor.
The PS60 Plug-In Editor is an editor that is compatible with the VST, Audio Units, or RTAS
formats. It lets you use the PS60 just like a plug-in instrument from within your DAW (Digital
Audio Workstation) software or other host application.
