• Polyphony/multitimbral capabilities
Maximum polyphony: 64 voices. Multitimbricity: 16
parts (Style/RealTime modes) or 32 parts (Song
mode). Each part is assigned to a track. In Style/
RealTime mode 8 tracks are assigned to the key-
board and the other 8 to the auto-accompaniment
section.
• Sound generation
Based on sampled waveforms (Wave), modified by
programmable digital filters (DCF, Digitally Control-
led Filters). Waves are assigned singularly or in
pairs to up to a maximum of 3 Layers, to obtain
Sounds consisting of a maximum of 6 Waves per
voice.
• ROM-Sounds
ROM (permanent memory) contains up to 24 meg-
abytes of samples which are the source of over
1,000 ROM-Sounds.
• RAM-Sounds
You can load disk-based RAM-Sounds based on
samples contained in ROM. RAM Sounds can be
supplied by Generalmusic, by third parties, or can
be created by the user with the sound editor pro-
gram. Sounds can be loaded from PS/GPS Series
disks including WK, SK and WX/SX Series disks.
• Preset-Sounds
The "Sound/Sound Patch" function permits quick
modification of Sounds and Drumkits to produce
"Preset-Sounds". The modifications are stored in
Preset tracks to allow Songs, Styles or Presets to
load the correct sounds.
• Drawbars
A unique set of Drawbar Presets for instant access
to vintage electronic organ sounds using the 8 pan-
el sliders as drawbars, with key-click, percussion,
etc..
• Sound Edit
PS/GPS features and advanced, powerful and highly
flexible Sound Edit section that takes you deep into
the heart of sound synthesis at its very best. You
can shape envelopes, control Waveforms and open
and close filters with the help of high definition graph-
ical representations projected on the display. The
Sound Edit also features the Sample Translator, an
incoporated Waveform creating program which al-
lows you to create new Sounds starting from disk-
based samples or data received via MIDI.

• Sample-RAM
PS/GPS is fitted with 8 megabytes of RAM memory
to allow the loading of disk-based samples to cre-
ate RAM
by a Ni-Cd battery to retain data after turning off the
instrument.
• Volatile Sample RAM (optional)
It is possible to install up to 32 megabytes of addi-
tional Sample-RAM via standard 72 pin computer
SIMMs (single in-line Memory Modules) obtainable
from most computer outlets.
• Digital Effects Processor
Four Digital Effects Processors, controlled in real
time, enrich the sound with effects (reverbs and
modulations). A flexible matrix allows different ef-
fects to be assigned to every track.
• 32 Track Recording Studio
The 32 track, 250 event/16 Song sequencer has a
Microscope function (microscopic edit) and Score
facility (to display Score, chords and Lyrics). The
QuickRec recording method allows the rapid record-
ing of Songs by using existing Styles.
• Midi File player

pable of reading any MIDI File available on the
market and world wide web.
• Play all Songs, Jukebox, Preload
The Play All Songs feature allows you to play all the
Songs or MidiFiles contained in a disk or Hard Disk
block without loading the data into memory. The
Songs or MidiFiles play as a medley which you can
stop at any time with the Stop button. The Jukebox
function allows you to chain the Songs in memory
and play them one after the other with a single com-
mand. The Preload function allows you to create a
list of disk-based Songs or MIDI Files and play them
all by means of a single command, without first load-
ing all data in memory.

The internal ROM Styles provide automatic musi-
cal accompaniments, consisting of 8 tracks. Every
Style has 4 Variations. Up to 32 disk based Styles
(User programmable) can be loaded and automati-
cally stored in the battery backed system memory.
Each Style can also be automatically reconfigured
by means of up to 8 associated Style Presets.
