Before using the PF-1000, be sure to read “Precautions„ on pages 3-4.
IMPORTANT
Check your power supply
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate
on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of
the main keyboard unit. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The
voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting use a
"minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the
pointer on the panel.

prevent the possibility of accident or injury.
•
If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term
use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
•
Current memory data (see page 39) is lost when you turn off the
power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy disk/the User
Drive (see page 39).
Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a floppy disk.
When you change settings in a display page and then exit
from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter
Chart of the separate Data List booklet) is automatically
stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the
power without properly exiting from the relevant display.
Backing up the floppy disk
•
To protect against data loss through media damage, we recom-
mend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and
Floppy Disk
Precautions
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.
Compatible Disk Type
• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks
To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:
• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing
upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward,
towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the
slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into
place and the eject button pops out.
Drive lamp
When the power is turned on, the drive lamp (at the bottom
left of the drive) lights to indicate the drive can be used.
To eject a floppy disk:
Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that data
is not being written to the floppy disk.
If data is currently being written to the floppy disk in
the following operations, the messages “Now
executing,” “Now copying,” and “Now formatting”
appears in the display.
• Moving, copying, pasting, saving, or deleting data
(page 42 - 44).
• Naming files and folders (page 41); creating a new
folder (page 44).
• Copying a disk to an another disk (page 139);
formatting the disk (page 139).
6
PF-1000
Page 7
• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off
when the data is being written to the floppy disk.
Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk
drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go;
the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is
fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.
• If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not
pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject
properly. The eject button may become stuck in a halfpressed position with the disk extending from the
drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do
not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since
using force in this situation can damage the disk drive
mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially
ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again,
or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the
eject procedure.
• Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive
before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the
drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and
dirt that can cause data read and write errors.
Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument
employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of
magnetic particles from the disks used that will
eventually cause read and write errors.
• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order
Yamaha recommends that you use a commerciallyavailable dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the
head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer
about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.
• Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk
drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk
drive or floppy disks.
• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or
housing.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels
to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are
attached in the proper location.
To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):
• To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide
the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position
(tab open).
write-protect tab open
(protect position)
Data backup
• For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that
you keep two copies of important data on separate
floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost
or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk to
Disk function on page 139.
About the Floppy Disks
To handle floppy disks with care:
• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply
pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy
disks in their protective cases when they are not in
use.
• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely
high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust
or liquids.
• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed
surface of the floppy disk inside.
• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as
those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc.,
since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase
data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

About the music rest
The PF-1000 is supplied with a music rest that can be
attached to the instrument by inserting it into the holes at
the rear of the control panel.
(The shape of plug differs depending on locale.)
WARNING
Make sure your PF-1000 is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the
area in which it is to be used (voltage rating appears on the name
plate on the bottom panel). In some areas, a voltage selector may be
provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit. Make sure
that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area.
Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious
damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the PF-1000. If the
supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, contact
your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can
pose a fire and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the PF-1000 may be
different depending on the country in which it is purchased. (In some
areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration
of the AC wall outlets in your area.) DO NOT modify the plug provided
with the PF-1000. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION
Do not use headphones at a high volume for an extended period of

CAUTION
Do not use the PF-1000 at a high volume level for a long period of
time, or your hearing may be damaged.
The logos printed on the PF-1000 panel indicate standards/
formats it supports and special features it includes.
GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which
guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play
accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthesizer
from any manufacturer.
XG Format
XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly
expands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard with
greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and effect
capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the
PF-1000’s XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible song
files.
XF Format
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File)
standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability
for the future. The PF-1000 is capable of displaying lyrics when an
XF file containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common
format used for MIDI sequence files. The PF-1000 is compatible
with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data using SMF
Format 0.)
Disk Orchestra Collection
The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback
compatibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI
devices.
Style File Format
The Style File Format (SFF) is Yamaha’s original style file format,
which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality
automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types.
The PF-1000 uses the SFF internally, reads optional SFF style disks,
and creates SFF styles using the Style Creator feature.
The PF-1000 features an extensive variety of Demo songs,
that showcase its rich, authentic voices and its dynamic
rhythms and styles.
What’s more, there’s a special selection of Demo
functions. These take you through a hands-on journey of
all the important features and functions of the instrument
— letting you see firsthand how to effectively use the PF1000 in your own music.

Basic Operations — Organizing Your Data
The PF-1000 utilizes a variety of data types — including voices, accompaniment styles, songs and registration memory
settings. Much of this data is already programmed and contained in the PF-1000; you can also create and edit your own
data with some of the functions on the instrument.
All this data is stored in separate files — just as is done on a computer.
Here, we’ll show you how to use the basic operations of the display controls in handling and organizing the data of the
PF-1000 in files and folders.
Files can be opened, saved, named, moved, or deleted in their respective Open/Save displays. You can select these
displays according to their respective file types, as well: Song, Voice, Style, etc. Moreover, you can organize your data
efficiently by putting various files of the same type into a single folder.
The Open/Save displays for Song, Voice, Style, and Registration Bank can be called up from the MAIN display (the
display shown when the power is turned on) by pressing the appropriate [A] - [J] button.

Basic Operations — Organizing Your Data
Example — Open/Save display for Voice
Each Open/Save display consists of PRESET, USER, and FLOPPY DISK drive pages.
PRESET drive
The files that are preprogrammed and installed
internally to the PF-1000 are
kept here. Preset files can be
loaded but cannot be re-written.
However, you can use a preset
file as a basis for creating your
own original file (which can be
saved in the USER or FLOPPY
DISK drive).
USER drive
Files kept here are those
containing your own original
data, created or edited using the
various functions of the PF-1000.
They are stored internally to the
PF-1000.
FLOPPY DISK drive
You can also store your original
data to floppy disk.
Commercially available disk
software can also be called up
here. Naturally, these files are
available only when the
appropriate disk is inserted in
the floppy disk drive.
BACKNEXT
Changes drives among
PRESET, USER and
FLOPPY DISK.
File
All data, both preprogrammed and your own
original, are stored as “files.”
Calls up the upper
level directory page.
In this example, the
voice folder selection
page can be called
up.
Current Memory
“Current Memory” is the area where the voice is called up when
you select a voice. Also it is the area where you edit your voice
using the SOUND CREATOR function. Your edited voice should
then be saved as a file in the USER or FLOPPY DISK drive.
Recording songs (page 90) and creating accompaniment styles
(page 106) are done within the current memory. Please make
sure to properly save this data to the USER/FLOPPY DISK drive as
a file or files. The data will be lost if you turn off the power
without saving.

Selecting Files and Folders
Select a file shown in the display. In this example, we’ll select a voice file.
First, press the VOICE [PIANO & HARPSI] button to call up the display containing the files.
This display (“Open/Save” display) is typical of those used to call up and store files (voice files).
The PF-1000 already contains a variety of voices in the PRESET section. You can store your own original voices created
with the Sound Creator function to the USER or FLOPPY DISK section.

When “JAPANESE” is
selected for the Language
parameter (pages 49, 140),
and you change this to one of
the western languages, the
kanji and kana characters of
the file name stored in the disk
drive are changed to western
characters. In the opposite
case, special Latin characters
and marks are changed into
normal characters. Also, in the
case of floppy disk data, text
in the files are changed to
characters that cannot be
read by the instrument.
Keep in mind that similar problems may occur when trying to
access files originating or
edited by a computer having a
different language operating
system. In general, be careful
when switching languages —
you risk not being able to
access the data properly.

The language can also be selected
in the FUNCTION “LANGUAGE”
(page 140) display.
When “JAPANESE” is selected for
the Language parameter, and you
change this to one of the western
languages, the kanji and kana characters of the file name stored in the
disk drive are changed to western
characters. In the opposite case,
special Latin characters and marks
are changed into normal characters.
Also, in the case of floppy disk data,
text in the files are changed to characters that cannot be read by the
instrument.
Keep in mind that similar problems
may occur when trying to access
files originating or edited by a computer having a different language
operating system. In general, be
careful when switching languages
— you risk not being able to access
the data properly.
Help messages also feature links to the detailed

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.

Press one of the effect buttons to turn the corresponding effects on. Press it again to turn the effect off.
For explanations on each of the effects, see below.
■ REVERB
Reverb is an effect that recreates the acoustic ambiance of a performance space — anything from a small jazz club to a
concert hall.
■ DSP
The PF-1000 features a variety of dynamic built-in digital effects, letting you process the
sound in various ways. You can use DSP to enhance the voices in subtle ways — such as
by applying chorus to add animation and depth, or using a symphonic effect to give the
sound warmth and richness. DSP also has effects such as distortion that can completely
change the character of the sound. DSP is set for the currently selected part (MAIN/
LAYER/LEFT).
The DSP and VARIATION
effect types and the their
depth can be selected and
adjusted in the MIXING CON-SOLE display (page 119).

■ VARIATION (Regular voice only; page 86)
This control changes the Variation effect settings, letting you alter some aspect of the effect, depending on the selected
type. For example, when the Rotary Speaker effect is selected (page 119), this lets you switch the rotor speed between
slow and fast.
PF-1000
57
Page 58
Voices
■ 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.
The Portamento effect creates
a smooth pitch glide between
successively played notes.
You can add special emphasis to melody lines you play
over chords by using the
Layer function with a monophonic 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
(polyphonic) +
Sweet Trump (monophonic)
: Brass Section
LAYER voice
:
Using the Pedals
Included with the PF-1000 is
a special pedal unit that
features the following pedals.
Left Pedal
■ Damper Pedal (Right)
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.
■ Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
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.
Damper Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal
When you press the damper pedal here,
the notes you play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
When you press the sostenuto pedal
here while holding the note, the note will
sustain as long as you hold the pedal.
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).
• Some voices may sound
continuously or have a
long decay after the notes
have been released while
the damper pedal is held.

Accompaniment Style Characteristics
The defining characteristics of some of the accompaniment styles are indicated above the relevant style names in the Open/Save display.
Session!
These styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with
chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of
certain songs and in certain genres. As a result, the styles may not necessarily be appropriate — or even harmonically correct — for all
songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad may result in a seventh chord, or playing an onbass chord may result in incorrect or unexpected accompaniment.
Piano Combo!
These accompaniment styles feature a basic piano trio (piano, bass, and drums), augmented in some cases with other instruments. Since
this is a small combo sound, the accompaniment backing is appropriately sparse, making it useful and effective for a wide variety of songs.
Pianist!
These special styles provide piano-only accompaniment — effectively recreating the left-hand performance of an accomplished pianist.
Just by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add complicated arpeggios and bass/chord patterns — such as
difficult-to-play stride piano parts.

Chord Fingerings
The style playback can be controlled by the chords you play in the keys to the left of the split point. There are 7 types of
fingerings as described below. Go to the CHORD FINGERING page (page 128), and select the Chord Fingerings. The
page shows how to play chords with your left hand.
SINGLE FINGER
Single Finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major,
seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the auto accompaniment section
of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used.
For a major chord, press the root key only.For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key
and a black key to its left.
For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root
key and a white key to its left.
For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press the
root key and both a white and black key to its left.
MULTI FINGER
The Multi Finger mode automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings,
so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering modes. If you
want to play minor, seventh, or minor-seventh chords using the SINGLE FINGER
operation in the MULTI FINGER Mode, always press the closest white/black key(s) to the
root of the chord.
Chord detection in the AI
Full Keyboard mode occurs
at approximately 8th-note
intervals. Extremely short
chords — less than an 8th
note in length — may not be
detected.
FINGERED
This mode lets you produce accompaniment by playing full chords on the auto
accompaniment section of the keyboard. The Fingered mode recognizes the various
chord types listed on the next page.
FINGERED ON BASS
This mode accepts the same fingerings as the FINGERED mode, but the lowest note
played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard is used as the bass note,
allowing you to play “on bass” chords. For example, to indicate a C-on-E chord, play a C
major chord with E as the lowest note (E, G, C).
FULL KEYBOARD
This method detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar
to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands — for example,
playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord
with your left hand and a melody note with your right.
In Full Keyboard mode,
chords are detected based
on the lowest and second
lowest notes you play. If the
two lowest notes fall within a
single octave, those two
notes determine the chord. If
the lowest note and the second lowest note are separated by more than one
octave, the lowest note
becomes the bass and the
chord is determined from the
second lowest note and the
other notes played in the
same octave.
AI FINGERED
This mode is basically the same as FINGERED, with the exception that less than three
notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).
AI FULL KEYBOARD
AI
Artificial Intelligence
When this advanced auto accompaniment mode is engaged, the PF-1000 will
automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything,
anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords.
Although the AI Full Keyboard mode is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for
use with this feature.
This mode is similarto FULL KEYBOARD, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the
chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th and 11th chords cannot be played.

Registering Panel Setups — Registration Memory
This shows you how to register your custom panel settings to the REGISTRATION
MEMORY buttons. Make all the settings you want with the panel controls, and Registration
Memory will “remember” them for you.
Set up the panel controls as desired.

Keep in mind that songs or
styles on disk cannot
registered to Registration
Memory. If you want to
register a disk-based song
or style, copy the relevant
data to “USER” in the
SONG/STYLE display
(page 38) and register the
data separately.
3
Select the desired parameter groups
for the settings you want to register.
You can also use the [DATA ENTRY]
dial to navigate in this display. To
register a parameter group, checkmark
the corresponding box. Groups left
without checkmarks will not be included
in the Registration Memory setting.
This allows you to maintain certain
settings, even when switching among
Registration Memory presets. You can
also use the Freeze function (page 84)
to override the Registration Memory
changes — letting you prevent certain
panel settings from being changed.
Press the desired number button for registering the settings.
