Introduction to the PS60

Main features of the PS60

The PS60 is a lightweight and compact performance

synthesizer that delivers high-quality sound and easy

operation, making it an ideal choice for live use.

High-quality sound for live or band performance

The PS60 features high-quality sounds delivered by

the EDS-i (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-integrated)

sound engine which inherits the sound of Korg’s

professional synthesizers.

Centered on sounds such as acoustic piano, electric

piano, strings, brass and synth. The PS60 contains 440

sounds that will integrate into any live or studio

performance. A total of up to 512 programs can be

saved into the internal memory.

Easy selection of sounds, and layer/split settings

The sounds are organized into six categories ranging

from acoustic piano (A.PIANO) thru to synth

(SYNTH). With dedicated buttons for each group, you

can quickly and easily select sounds, create layers,

splits and layered splits in the upper and lower regions

of the keyboard.

Performances allow instant recall of your favorite

settings

You can use the buttons and knobs of the performance

control section on the center and right side of the

PS60’s front panel to edit the sounds and effects. The

performance section on the left of the front panel

allows you to save twenty of these settings. Your saved

performances are easily recalled using the

performance buttons.

Richly expressive keyboard and controllers

The PS60 features a semi-weighted 61-note natural-

touch keyboard that allows you to play anything from

piano sounds to synthesizer sounds with a natural feel.

The controllers you need for expressive playing are

also provided, including a joystick to modify the

sound, a button that holds the current position of the

joystick, a button that switches the rotary speaker

between slow/fast for organ sounds and buttons that

allow you to shift the octave and transpose settings.

There are also two jacks to which you can connect a

damper pedal, foot switch or foot pedal, allowing you

to adjust the volume, control effect modulation or

switch performances.

Lightweight and compact design

The PS60’s lightweight and compact design make it a

breeze to carry between live gigs and studio practice

sessions.

Editor and plug-in editor

The bundled software “PS60 Editor” and “PS60 Plug-In

Editor” are applications that let you use your computer

to edit the PS60’s performances and programs.

These editors allow more detailed editing than is

possible on the PS60 front panel. It is possible to make

multisample selections and settings, edit the filter type

and routing, make detailed settings for EG, LFO, AMS,

insert effects and even create user scales.

“PS60 Editor” is a standalone editor.

“PS60 Plug-In Editor” supports VST, Audio Units, and

RTAS formats, and allows you to use the PS60 from

within your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) or

other host application just as though it was a plug-in

instrument.

The latest version of the editor, plug-in editor, and

Korg USB-MIDI driver can be downloaded from the

following website.

(Enhanced Definition Synthesis - integrated)

The EDS-i sound engine integrates the main

functionality such as oscillators, filters, amp, LFO/EG

and effects of the “EDS” (Enhanced Definition

Synthesis) sound engine from the M3 and M50.

It delivers the widely acclaimed rich and vivid sound

of EDS.

The oscillator section lets you use a wide variety of

high-quality PCM sources that were sampled at

48 kHz, occupying a total of 49 Mbytes (when

calculated as 16-bit linear PCM data). The filter section

that is so important to creative sound-making provides

two high-quality filters for each oscillator, and allows

you to freely combine four types of filter: low-pass,

high-pass, band-pass and band-reject.

Modulation functionality is indispensible to detailed

sound design, and here too, the PS60 brings you full-

fledged synthesis power with EG (envelope

generator), LFO, key tracking generator, AMS

(alternate modulation sources) and AMS mixer

inherited from the EDS sound engine.

The effect section lets you add the final touches to the

overall sound using one insert effect for each timbre

(except for the STRINGS timbre, making a total of

five), whose effect type can be one of 63 types

including dynamics effects such as compressor or

limiter and amp modeling powered by Korg’s

proprietary “REMS” modeling technology. Effect

dynamic modulation (Dmod) allows you to control the

effects in a wide variety of ways.

You can also use two master effects (modulation and

reverb/delay) and an EQ.

What is ?

Modeling System) is KORG’s proprietary sound

modeling technology which precisely reproduces the

complex character and nature of both acoustic and

electric instruments as well as electronic circuits in real

world environments. emulates a wide variety of

sound generation characteristics including instrument

bodies, speakers & cabinets, acoustic fields,

microphones, vacuum tubes, transistors, etc.
