Synchronizing LFOs
Most effects with LFOs, such as S11: St.Wah, can be synchro‐
nized to tempo. This applies to the individual effects LFOs.
To set up LFOs to synchronize to tempo:
1. Set "MIDI Sync" to On.
2. Set the BPM as desired.
To synchronize to the system clock, set BPM to MIDI.
To set the LFO to a specific tempo, separate from the sys‐
tem clock, set BPM to the desired tempo (between 40.00
and 300.00 BPM).
3. Use the "Base Note" and "Times" (x) parameters to set
the rhythmic value of the LFO.
For instance, if you set "Base Note" to 1/8 and "Times"
(x) to 2, each cycle of the LFO will last for a quarter‐note
(two eighth‐notes).
LFO
Dynamic modulation to control an effect parame-
ter in realtime
Use the PS60 Editor / Plug‐In Editor to make these settings.
1. Select any desired program from other than the Strings
timbre, and then enter Program Edit mode.
2. Access the IFX page.
3. In IFX Select, set ʺIFXʺ to 029: Stereo Phaser. Notice that
the sound now has a twisting character.
Now, we can set the Dmod to change the delay level via
the Joystick
4. Set the LFO Freq [Hz] ʺAmountʺ to +5.0.
5. Set ʺSourceʺ to JS+Y: #01.
Now you can use the joystick to control the LFO speed.
When you move the joystick away from you, the modu‐
lation produced by the LFO will gradually become faster.
Using a foot switch connected to the DAMPER/PEDAL/SW
jack to vary the feedback level via Dmod
6. Connect a foot switch to the rear panel DAMPER/
PEDAL/SW jack.
7. Enter GLOBAL mode, and in Basic/MIDI Controllers ‐
Controller, set the Foot Switch/Pedal/Damper "Type Sw/
Pedal" to Switch, and set "Foot Switch Function" to Foot
Switch.
8. In Prog Edit, access the IFX page, and then set Depth
ʺSourceʺ to Foot SW: #82 and ʺAmountʺ to +30.
Move the joystick away from yourself, and then press the
foot switch; the depth of modulation will change. The
ʺAmountʺ setting determines the change in modulation
depth modulation that will occur when you press the
foot switch. If ʺAmountʺ is set to ‐30, pressing the foot
switch will result in a modulation depth of 0.

Effect I/O

To achieve the best tonal quality, signals sent to the effects
should be at the maximum level below clipping. Also, use
the Wet/Dry parameter for the Insert Effects, Total Effect
and the "Wet/Dry" or "Return 1, 2" parameter for the Mas‐
ter Effects to adjust the effect output level.
If the input level is too low, the SN ratio may decrease.
On the other hand, if the input level is too high, clip‐
ping may occur.
The following table shows the parameters related to the
level settings:

*1 Some effects may not have these parameters.
*2 These are quick parameters that can be edited from the
PS60 itself. The PS60 Editor allows you to edit parameters
such as Multisample Level, Filter Input Trim, and Amp
Level.

Insert Effects (IFX)

In/Out

Insert Effects have a stereo input and a stereo output. If you
set the Wet/Dry parameter to Dry (no effect), the input sig‐
nal will be passed through, in stereo, without being pro‐
cessed by the effect. If you select Wet (effect applied), the
processed signal will be output in one of the following
ways:
Wet
Input/output variations for each effect are shown in upper
left of the block diagrams starting on page 83.
If you select 000: No Effect, stereo input signals are output
in stereo without being processed.
IFX ʺOn/Offʺ turns the effect on/off. If an effect is off, it will
be bypassed. Just as when 000: No Effect is selected, the ste‐
reo input sound will be sent through as a stereo output.
The PS60 can also turn IFX off separately from the set‐
ting of the On/Off button by receiving MIDI control
change message CC#92. Value 0 will turn them off, and
value 1–127 will turn them on.
