One-Touch Piano Play - Yamaha PF-1000 Owner's Manual

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.
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.
Voices
You can also use the metro-
nome with this function
(page 50).
Even if you turn Piano Lock
off, the piano settings are
still active.
