Natural Voices and Regular Voices
Built into the PF-1000 are two different tone generation sources, Natural and XG. The
Natural tone generation source and its voices feature a huge amount of wave
memory, giving you enormous and finely detailed expressive power over the sound.
The XG source (which powers the Regular voices) provide maximum compatibility
with a wide variety of devices and song data.
The maximum amount of polyphony for each tone generation source is set up to best
enhance your performance. In general, the songs and styles are played back using the
XG source, while the Natural voices are played from the keyboard — allowing you to
play the Natural voices with full polyphony, even if the song and style data exceeds the polyphonic limit.
Natural!
Natural voices (sounded by Natural tone
generation source)
Used mainly for keyboard-played voices
* Depending on the particular style selected, a Natural voice may be used for the accompaniment. Usually, songs are played back using the
XG voices (page 149); however, you can have them automatically "re-voiced" — using the exceptionally rich and realistic sounds exclusive
to the PF-1000 (page 117).

Voices sounded with the XG
source are divided into two
groups. One is the original
set of PF-1000 voices
(Cool!, Sweet!, Live!), and
the other is the conventional
XG set.
