If the PS60 does not function correctly with your  
computer, check the following settings on the PS60 itself.  
Start up the PS60 Editor (standalone version) and verify  
that it works correctly.  
“Local Ctrl” settings  
For details on how to set up and start the PS60 PlugIn  
Editor, refer to the “PS60 Editor/PlugIn Editor Users  
Guide” on page 8.  
The MIDI software on your computer might have an Echo  
Back function where messages that are received at MIDI  
IN/USB are retransmitted without change from MIDI  
OUT/USB.  
If your MIDI softwares Echo Back is turned on when the  
PS60 is bidirectionally connected with your computer,  
the PS60s internal sound generator will receive duplicate  
messages (the internally generated messages as well as  
the messages received via echoback), which will cause  
problems such as each note being sounded twice.  
Setting up the PS60 Editor  
Before you verify that the software is operating correctly,  
make sure that you’ve completed the following steps.  
• The PS60’s USB connector is connected to your  
computer’s USB port.  
In such cases, you can solve the problem by turning the  
PS60s local control setting Off so that the signal route is  
internally disconnected inside the PS60.  
With the factory settings, the PS60s local control setting  
(“Local Ctrl”) is turned On. (“PS60 Owners Manual” on  
page 42)  
Note: When using the PS60 by itself, leave the local control  
setting (“Local Ctrl”) turned On. If this is Off, no sound  
will be produced when you play the PS60s keyboard.  
Note: The PS60 Editor/PlugIn Editor will automatically  
set the PS60s local control setting to the appropriate state  
when the software starts up.  
• The PS60 and your computer are both poweredon.  
• The Korg USBMIDI driver is installed for the USB  
port you’ll be using.  
• The PS60 Editor (standalone version) is installed on  
your computer.  
1. Start up the PS60 Editor.  
Windows  
In the taskbar, click the [Start] button and then [All  
Programs]. From the menu, choose “KORG”– “PS60”–  
“PS60 Editor” to start up the editor.  
Alternatively, you can navigate to the “KORG” folder–  
“PS60” folder, and doubleclick the “PS60 Editor.exe”  
icon located there.

Navigate to the Applications” folder–“KORG” folder–  
“PS60” folder, and double click the “PS60 Editor” icon.  
• When you start up, data will be transmitted and  
received between the PS60 and the PS60 Editor. The  
PS60’s display will indicate “Now transmitting” and  
the PS60 Editor will indicate “Synchronizing...” while  
the synchronization data is exchanged.  
MIDI Filter “SysEx” setting  
With the factory settings, the PS60 is set so that it will not  
transmit or receive system exclusive messages (“SysEx”  
Off). (“PS60 Owners Manual” on page p.43)  
Since the PS60 Editor/PlugIn Editor use numerous MIDI  
system exclusive messages for communicating with the  
PS60, this setting of the PS60 will automatically be turned  
On when the software starts up.  
If you are using a MIDI device or an application other  
than the PS60 Editor/PlugIn Editor and do not want  
system exclusive messages to be transmitted and received  
between it and the PS60, you’ll need to use the PS60 to  
manually turn this setting On.  
2. To simplify the testing process, select performance A‐  
1, which uses Single settings.  
To press the PERFORMANCE BANK button on the left  
side of the PS60s panel to select bank A, and then press  
button 1 to the right.  
3. When you press one of the PS60’s timbre selector ON  
buttons, the corresponding button in the upper  
middle area of the PS60 Editor window and the  
timbre field on the left side will switch accordingly.  
In the same way as if you click the editors ON  
buttons or the fields to the left, the settings on the  
PS60 itself will switch accordingly.  
If you perform any of the following operations on the  
PS60 after the PS60 Editor/PlugIn Editor has finished  
starting up, subsequent communication will not be  
possible.  
• Turn MIDI Filter “SysEx” Off  
• On the PS60, use the “Load Preload” command with  
“All” or “Global,” and load the factoryset Global  
settings  
If the PS60 Editor/PlugIn Editor become unable to  
communicate with the PS60, please use the PS60 itself to  
turn the MIDI Filter “SysEx” setting back On.
