Editing Voices — Sound Creator
The PF-1000 has a Sound Creator feature that allows you to create your own voices by
editing some parameters of the existing voices. Once you’ve created a voice, you can
save it as a USER voice for future recall.
• The Voice can be edited in
realtime while playing
back a song/style.
• Keep in mind that adjust-
ments made to the param-
eters may not make much
change in the actual sound
depending on the original
settings of the voice.
