Using the performance controls to adjust the sound
The PS60 provides a variety of performance controls.
In addition to the timbre selectors that you use to
select sounds, and the split settings that allow you to
play keyboard splits, there are also easy setup settings
that let you adjust the volume, octave and effect send
for each timbre, master effects such as modulation and
reverb/delay, and an EQ (equalizer) that adjusts the
overall brightness or depth of the sound.
You can adjust these settings to create the desired
sound and save those settings as a “performance” for
instant recall.
Easy setup
Let’s try using the easy setup knobs of each timbre to
adjust each timbre’s volume, octave and effect send.
1. Select a program for each timbre you want to
adjust ( “Selecting a timbre (sound),” p. 13).
If you’re using split settings, press the LOWER button
or UPPER button to choose the timbres you’ll be
controlling.
2. Press the EASY SETUP button to select the
function that you want to adjust using the knobs.
Each time you press the EASY SETUP button, a
different indicator will light in the following order.
VOLUME: The knobs will adjust the volume of each
timbre. This is a convenient way to set the volume
balance between the sounds in a layer or split.
OCTAVE: The knobs will switch the pitch of each
timbre in steps of one octave. The range of this setting
is +/–5 octaves.
Note: Unlike the OCTAVE keyboard setting (p. 18),
this OCTAVE setting affects only the timbre for which
you’re editing it.
MOD SEND: The knobs will adjust the amount of
sound that is sent to the modulation effect. Use the
MODULATION section to edit the type of effect and
its settings (p. 20).
REV/DLY SEND: The knobs will adjust the amount of
sound that is sent to the reverb/delay effect. Use the
REVERB/DELAY section to edit the type of effect and
its settings (p. 20).
Off: (all indicators unlit)
3. Turn the knob for each timbre to adjust the
settings.
When you turn a knob, the upper line of the display
shows an abbreviation of the timbre and the name of
the selected easy setup; the lower line shows the value.
