PF-1000

HARMONY/ECHO
This control adds Harmony or Echo effects to the voices played on the right hand section
of the keyboard (page 132).
MONO
This control determines whether the voice is played monophonically (only one note at a
time) or polyphonically for each part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT). This is set to MONO when the
lamp is lit, and set to polyphonic when the lamp is off. When set to MONO, only the last
note played will sound. This lets you play wind instrument voices more realistically.
Depending on the selected voice, the MONO setting also lets you effectively use the
Portamento effect, when playing in legato.
LEFT HOLD
This function causes the left part voice to be held even when the keys are released — the
same effect as when the damper (sustain) pedal is pressed. This function is especially
effective when used with the auto accompaniment. For example, if you play and release a
chord in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard (with the left part on and the
Left voice set to Strings), the strings part sustains, adding a natural richness to the overall
accompaniment sound.
Damper Pedal (Right)
Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
Left Pedal
When the Piano voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly
changes the timbre of the notes you play.
The settings assigned to this pedal may differ depending on the selected voice.
Foot Controller/Footswitch
An optional Yamaha foot controller (FC7) or footswitch (FC4 or FC5) can be connected to
the AUX PEDAL jack and used to control various functions assigned in the FUNCTION page (page 128).
You can add special empha-
sis to melody lines you play
over chords by using the
Layer function with a mono-
phonic voice. Set the Main
voice to play polyphonically
and set the Layer voice to
play monophonically
(MONO). In this case, the
melody you play including
the top notes of any chords
sounds monophonically.
Try this using the following
voices.
MAIN voice
: Brass Section
(polyphonic) +
LAYER voice
:
Sweet Trump (monophonic)
The Portamento effect creates
a smooth pitch glide between
successively played notes.
Using the Pedals
You can also assign one of
many other functions to
these pedals (as well as the
optional foot controller or
footswitch). For example, you
can use it to start/stop the
accompaniment style, or use
it to play Fill-ins (page 128).
Damper Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal
Left Pedal
Included with the PF-1000 is
a special pedal unit that
features the following pedals.
Some voices may sound
continuously or have a
long decay after the notes
have been released while
the damper pedal is held.
Certain voices in the [PER-
CUSSION] and [XG]
groups may not be affected
by use of the damper pedal.
When you press the damper pedal here,
the notes you play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
The damper pedal performs the same function as the
damper pedal on an actual acoustic piano, letting you
sustain the sound of the voices even after releasing the
keys.
Certain voices, such as
[STRINGS] or [BRASS],
sustain continuously when
the sostenuto pedal is
pressed.
Certain voices in the
[PERCUSSION] and [XG]
groups may not be
affected by use of the sos-
tenuto pedal.
When you press the sostenuto pedal
here while holding the note, the note will
sustain as long as you hold the pedal.
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will
be sustained as long as the pedal is held, but all
subsequently played notes will not be sustained.
The depth of the left pedal
effect can be adjusted
(

).
