Pitch Bend; Control Change - Korg PS60 Parameter Manual

on/off for each timbre.

Switching performances
You can use program change messages to switch perfor‐
mances.
• Performances 000–019 in bank A‐1–D‐5 correspond to
program changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 13].
Program changes are received on the global MIDI channel.
Program changes cannot be transmitted or received while in
Performance Edit mode.
All program changes can be turned off in MIDI Filter (page
73)
As needed, you can independently turn all program
changes on/off, specify whether or not incoming messages
will be able to change performances, and turn reception/
transmission of bank select messages on/off.
• If Bank Change (page 73) is off, bank select messages will
not be transmitted or received.
The programs selected for each timbre cannot be switched
by receiving MIDI program change.
Aftertouch
Channel aftertouch [Dn, vv]
(n: channel, vv: value)
When this message is received, the aftertouch effect will be
applied. The assigned alternate modulation or dynamic
modulation effect will also be applied.
The keyboard of the PS60 itself cannot transmit after‐
touch. If you want to use this message to control the
PS60, it must be received from an external device.
Aftertouch reception for the entire instrument can be turned
on/off in After Touch (page 73).
Polyphonic aftertouch [An, kk, vv]
(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: value)
There is another type of aftertouch called Polyphonic Key
Pressure, which allows aftertouch to be applied indepen‐
dently for individual keys. This message can be used as an
alternate modulation source, but cannot be transmitted by
the PS60's keyboard. In order to use this message, it will
have to be received from an external device.
The aftertouch mentioned in this manual refers to Channel
After Touch.

Pitch bend

Pitch bend change [En, bb, mm]
(n: channel, bb: lower byte of the value, mm: upper byte of
the value, together expressing a value of 16,384 steps where
8,192 [bb, mm = 00H, 40H] is the center value)
When the PS60's joystick is moved in the X axis (left/right), a
pitch bend effect will be applied, and pitch bender messages
will also be transmitted. When these messages are received,
a pitch bend effect will be applied.
The range of pitch change that is produced by pitch bend
messages can also be adjusted via MIDI. (Please see
"Changing the pitch bend range" on page 138.)

Control change

[Bn, cc, vv]
Transmitted and received as (n: channel, cc: control change
no., vv: value)
For more information, please see "MIDI transmission when
the PS60's controllers are used" on page 130, and "PS60 and
MIDI CCs" on page 131.
• Control changes can be turned on/off as a whole in
"Enable Control Change" (page 73).
• In a performance, reception of various control change
messages can be turned on/off for each timbre. ʺOther
CCʺ (page 10) applies to the control change messages not
included in the other settings.
Selecting program/performance banks
Bank select (CC#00, CC#32)
Technically, Bank Select is a controller. In practice, however,
it is a component of Program Change.
For more information, please see "Program changes / Bank
select" on page 134.
Using the joystick to apply modulation
Modulation 1 depth (CC#01) [Bn, 01, vv]
When you move the PS60's joystick in the +Y direction (Ver‐
tical upward), Modulation 1 Depth messages will be trans‐
mitted. When these messages are received, the same effect
will be applied as when the PS60's joystick is used. Nor‐
mally this will apply a vibrato effect (pitch LFO).
• In Performanc, transmission/reception can be turned on/
off for each timbre. ("JS+Y" on page 10)
Modulation 2 depth (CC#02) [Bn, 02, vv]
When you move the PS60's joystick in the –Y direction (Ver‐
tical downward), Modulation 2 Depth messages will be
transmitted. When these messages are received, the same
effect will be applied as when the PS60's joystick is used.
Normally this will apply a wah effect (filter LFO).
• In Performance, transmission/reception can be turned
on/off for each timbre. ("JS‐Y" on page 10)
Other manufacturers use this message for other purposes
(e.g., breath controller, etc.)
