Main Timbres

Here you can adjust the settings for the main timbres
A.PIANO–SYNTH.
Timbre
Timbre On
Turn the button on (highlighted) for the timbres that you
want to enable. This setting is linked with Timbre On but‐
tons on the panel.
Program Select
Here you can select the program used by each timbre. Click
ʺProgram Select,ʺ and choose a program (bank number and
name) from the menu that appears.
You can use SUB CATEGORY to categorize the programs.
When you select a Performance on the PS60, a MIDI
program change for the selected performance number
will be transmitted on the global MIDI Channel (page
72).
At the same time, bank select, program change, and
volume (CC#7) messages will be transmitted on the
MIDI channel specified for each timbre whose Status
(page 7) is set to EXT or EX2. However, these messages
will not be transmitted for timbres that are set to the
same MIDI channel as the global MIDI channel.
In this case, EX2 timbres will show the "Program" Bank
as "–", and will transmit the bank number that was
specified in Bank Select (When Status=EX2) (page 7).
When you play on the PS60 keyboard and controllers,
MIDI messages are transmitted on the global MIDI
channel. At the same time, timbres whose Status is set
to EXT or EX2 will transmit the same messages on their
own MIDI channel.
If the received program change has the same MIDI
channel as the global MIDI channel, the performance
will change.
Octave
[On, Off]
This shifts the pitch of the timbre in steps of one octave.
Volume
Adjusts the volume of each timbre 1–16.
Note: You can use Easy Setup Volume to control this param‐
[001...]
eter.
The volume of each timbre is determined by multiply‐
ing this volume value with the MIDI volume (CC#7)
and expression (CC#11).
If Status (page 7) has been set to INT, incoming MIDI
CC#7 or CC#11 messages will control the volume of a
timbre. (However these messages will not affect the set‐
ting of this parameter.)
If Status is EXT or EX2, the value of this parameter will
be transmitted as MIDI CC#7 when the performance is
changed. However this will not be transmitted by a
timbre that is set to the same MIDI channel as the
