About the Parameter Guide
This document (“PS60 Parameter Guide”) explains the
parameters that can be quickly edited from the PS60 itself or
from the PS60 Editor, in addition to the full parameters that
can be edited only by from the PS60 Editor. It also explains
functions that are specific to the editor.
Explanations of the quick parameters in the “PS60 Ownerʹs
Manual” are simplified as much as possible, but this docu‐
ment explains these quick parameters in greater detail,
including MIDI transmission and reception.
* By connecting the PS60 to your computer and using the
PS60 Editor application, youʹll be able to edit all of the
PS60ʹs parameters (the full parameters).

Filter
Filtering can make subtle or dramatic changes to the oscilla‐
tor’s timbre. Each oscillator has two multimode resonant fil‐ Filter1
ters, A and B, as well as a dedicated filter envelope and This page contains all of the basic settings for Oscillator 1’s

Single: This uses only Filter A as a single 2‐pole, 12 dB/
octave filter (6 dB for Band Pass and Band Reject). When this
option is selected, the controls for Filter B will be grayed
out.
Serial: This uses both Filter A and Filter B. The oscillator
first goes through Filter A, and then the output of Filter A is
processed through Filter B.
Parallel: This also uses both Filter A and Filter B. The oscil‐
lator feeds both filters directly, and the outputs of the two
filters are then summed together.
24dB/oct: This merges both filters to create a single 4‐pole,
24 dB/octave filter (12 dB for Band Pass and Band Reject). In
comparison to Single, this option produces a sharper roll‐off
beyond the cutoff frequency, as well as a slightly more deli‐
cate resonance. Many classic analog synths used this general
type of filter.
When 24 dB/oct is selected, only the controls for Filter A are
active; the controls for Filter B will be grayed out.

BPF: This cuts out all parts of the sound, both highs and

Since this filter cuts out both high and low frequencies, its
effect can change dramatically depending on the cutoff set‐
ting and the oscillator’s multisample.
With low resonance settings, you can use the Band Pass fil‐

Keyboard tracking lets you vary the volume as you play up

You can create different rates of change over up to four dif‐
ferent parts of the keyboard. For instance, you can:
• Make the volume increase very quickly over the middle
of the keyboard, and then increase more slowly–or not at
all–in the higher octaves.
• Make the volume increase as you play lower on the
keyboard.
• Create abrupt changes at certain keys, for split‐like
effects.

A+B merges two AMS sources into one. This can be handy
when you need to add one more modulation source to a

For instance, let’s say that you’re using an LFO to modulate
Filter Resonance, and then you decide that it would be inter‐
esting to scale that parameter with an EG as well. Resonance
has only a single AMS input, but you can easily merge the
LFO and the EG together using the A+B AMS Mixer:
1. Assign the LFO to AMS A.
2. Assign the EG to AMS B.
3. Assign the AMS Mixer as the Filter Resonance AMS

This Mixer Type adds curvature to the AMS input. This
applies deformation to the AMS input. You can use this to
customize a controller curve, such as the exponential curve
of the joystick or the logarithmic curve of velocity control. It
can also alter the shape of programmable modulation
sources, such as EGs and LFOs.
Note: Shape only affects AMS signals which already have
some amount of slope, such as EGs, triangle and sine LFOs,
and so on. It does not affect signals which only contain
abrupt transitions, such as square waves.

Output Mode
When Wet Invert is selected, the right channel phase of the
chorus/flanger effect sound is inverted. This creates pseudo‐
stereo effects and adds spread.
However, if a mono‐input type effect is connected after this
effect, the left and right sounds may cancel each other,
eliminating the chorus/flanger effects.
