About the PS60
How the PS60 is organized
In the center of the PS60’s front panel there are six sets
of buttons that allows you select acoustic piano,
electric piano, organ, strings, brass, and synthesizer
sounds and variations of those sounds. You can use
these buttons to instantly select the sound you want to
play. On the PS60, each of these sounds is referred to as
a “timbre.”
These buttons also let you make settings so that two or
more sounds will be heard together as a layer, or in
different regions of the keyboard as a split. You can
use EASY SETUP to adjust the volume balance of the
timbres, or to shift their pitch in one-octave units.
Effects that add movement or spaciousness to the
sound can also be adjusted from the panel, making it
easy for you to get the sounds you desire.
When you’ve adjusted the sounds to your liking, you
can save the settings as a “performance” and recall it
when required.
As already stated above, the PS60 has six timbres that
normally you will use as “main timbres.” If you’ve
made split settings, you’ll be able to use additional
“sub timbres” in the other keyboard region. This
means that when using split settings, you can use a
total of up to twelve timbres: six timbres in the upper
keyboard region and six timbres in the lower keyboard
region.
For each of these timbres you can select and play one
of a wide variety of programs. You can play one timbre
by itself, or combine multiple timbres as layers or
splits.
The timbre used by a program consists of an oscillator
that can trigger up to eight stereo multisamples for
each voice, up to four filters, two amps, five LFOs and
five EGs. The program also has one insert effect. (The
STRINGS timbre does not have an insert effect.)
The output from the insert effect passes through a
three-band EQ and is sent to the L/MONO and R
OUTPUT jacks. At the same time, the output from the
insert effect can also be sent to two master effects (a
modulation effect and a reverb/delay effect) and sent
through the three-band EQ to the L/MONO and R
OUTPUT jacks.
Although it’s easy to use the performance controls on
the PS60’s front panel to adjust the sounds to your
taste, you can also use edit modes (Performance Edit,
Program Edit, and Global) to make more detailed
changes to the sound.
If you want to edit in even greater detail, you can use
the included editor software to edit all of the PS60’s
parameters.
