MIDI
Here, you can make MIDI-related settings that affect
the entire PS60.
Channel (Global MIDI Channel)
[01...16]
Sets the global MIDI channel.
The global MIDI channel is used in the following cases.
• When switching performances.
• When controlling a timbre or effect that is set to the
Gch.
• When transmitting and receiving System Exclusive
messages
Regarding MIDI transmission when you operate
the PS60’s keyboard or controllers
For a performance, data is transmitted simultaneously
on the global MIDI channel and on the MIDI channel of
timbres whose “Status” (
p. 30) is set to EXT or EX2.
Local Ctrl (Local Control)
[Off, On]
On: You can use the PS60’s keyboard and joystick etc.
to control the PS60’s tone generator section. Use the On
setting if you’re using the PS60 by itself.
Off: The PS60’s keyboard and joystick etc. will be
internally disconnected from the tone generator
section. This means that operating the keyboard or
joystick will not cause the PS60 to produce sound. Use
the Off setting to prevent duplicate notes from being
sounded by echo-back from an external sequencer.
If Local Control is Off, MIDI transmission/reception
will occur normally. Playing the keyboard will cause
the corresponding note data to be transmitted, and
received note data will play the PS60’s internal sounds.
Convt (Convert Position)
[PreMIDI, PostMIDI]
This specifies the position at which transpose (p. 48)
and velocity curve (p. 48) settings will be applied.
This setting will affect how MIDI data is transmitted
and received.
If you’re playing the PS60’s sound generator from the
keyboard, the transpose and velocity curve settings are
always applied in the same way regardless of this
Convert Position setting.
PreMIDI: The velocity curve and transpose settings
will be applied to the data being sent from the PS60’s
keyboard.
The data affected by the velocity curve and transpose
settings will be the data that is transmitted from MIDI
OUT when you play the PS60’s keyboard.
The MIDI data received from MIDI IN will not be
affected.
PostMIDI: The velocity curve, aftertouch curve and
transpose settings, will be applied to the data before it
enters the tone generator.
The data affected by the velocity curve, aftertouch
curve and transpose settings, will be the data that is
sent to the PS60’s tone generator from the keyboard or
received from MIDI IN.
The data played on the PS60’s keyboard will not be
affected.
Note Recv (Note Receive)
[All, Even, Odd]
This setting specifies whether even-numbered, odd-
numbered, or all note numbers will be sounded when
note data is received from the PS60’s keyboard or from
an external MIDI device. By connecting the PS60 to
another PS60 and setting one instrument to Even and
the other to Odd, you can effectively double the
polyphony by dividing the notes between the two
instruments.
Clock (MIDI Clock Source)
[Internal, Ext.MIDI, Ext.USB, Auto]
This specifies how the PS60’s LFOs or effects when
using MIDI/Tempo Sync. will synchronize with an
external MIDI device (e.g., sequencer or rhythm
machine) or computer.
Internal: The LFOs and effects will synchronize to the
internal clock. Select the Internal setting when using
the PS60 by itself, or when you want the PS60 to be the
master (controlling device) so that connected external
MIDI devices will synchronize to the PS60 MIDI Clock.
Ext.MIDI: The LFOs and effects will synchronize to
MIDI Clock messages from an external MIDI device
connected to the MIDI IN connector.
Ext.USB: The LFOs and effects will synchronize to
MIDI Clock messages from a computer (e.g., DAW
application) connected to the USB connector.
Auto: Normally the operation will be the same as the
Internal setting. If external MIDI Clock messages are
received from the MIDI IN or USB connector, the PS60
will automatically switch to Ext.MIDI and Ext.USB.
