Voices Voice Characteristics The voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the voice name. Natural! These rich and luscious voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument sounds and are especially intended for playing piano and other keyboard parts. Since they use a completely independent sound source, you can play full, sustained chords - even along with the accompaniment style - and not have to worry about notes cutting off. They also take full advantage of Yamaha's advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling, Dynamic Sampling, Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling. Live! These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich sound - full of atmosphere and ambience. Cool! These voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments - thanks to a huge amount of memory and some very sophisticated programming. Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha's sophisticated technology - and feature a sound so finely detailed and natural, you'll swear you're playing the real thing! Drum Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. SFX Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. Keyboard Percussion When one of the drum of SFX kits is selected in the PERCUSSION voice group, various drum, percussion, and special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. The various drums and percussion instruments of the Standard Kit are indicated by symbols above the assigned keys. Keep in mind that even though different kits feature different sounds, some same-named sounds in different kits are identical. Refer to the separate Data List (Drum/key Assignment List) for a listing of the sounds in each drum/SFX kit. One-touch Piano Play This convenient, easy-to-use feature completely and automatically reconfigures the entire PF-1000 for optimum piano performance. No matter what settings you've made from the panel, you can instantly call up the piano settings by a single button press. PIANO PIANO button This reconfigures all of the panel settings for playing the PF-1000 as a piano. You can also use the metronome with this function (page 50). Piano Lock function The convenient Piano Lock function lets you "lock" the piano so that you don't inadvertently change the settings by pressing another button on the panel. Once locked, the PF-1000 stays in the piano mode, even if other buttons are pressed - preventing you from accidently starting a song or accompaniment style during a piano concert. Hold down the [PIANO] button for a short time, until a message appears prompting you to enable Piano Lock. To enable Piano Lock, select "OK." To turn Piano Lock off, hold down the [PIANO] button again for a short time. Even if you turn Piano Lock off, the piano settings are still active. PF-1000 55
