PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,

short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable

parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immedi-

ately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill

into any openings.

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a

sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual

smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the

power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the

instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by

Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instru-

ment or overheating.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the

outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may

have accumulated on it.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the

instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or

radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,

place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk

on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always

hold the plug itself and not the cord.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con-

nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-

heating in the outlet.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during

electrical storms.

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/-

polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, ﬁre, or bat-

tery ﬂuid leakage.

• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries

together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline bat-

teries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or dif-

ferent types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause

overheating, ﬁre, or battery ﬂuid leakage.

• Do not dispose of batteries in ﬁre.

• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.

• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long

time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage

of the battery ﬂuid.

• Keep batteries away from children.

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked ﬂuid. If the battery

ﬂuid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immedi-

ately with water and consult a doctor. Battery ﬂuid is corrosive and may

possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off

the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all

components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the

volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the

volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening

level.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme

cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the

day) to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the inter-

nal components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televi-

sions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can

affect proper operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acci-

dentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other

cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thin-

ners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since

this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and

do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-

fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

■DATA BACK-UP AND STORAGE

• Yamaha recommends that you regularly save data using an external device

such as the ﬂoppy disk-based Yamaha MIDI data ﬁler MDF3, and storing

the ﬂoppy disks in a safe, cool, dry place. YAMAHA CANNOT BE HELD

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENTAL LOSS OF IMPORTANT MUSIC

DATA! Regarding the data you have created, as long as fresh batteries are

inserted in (or an AC power adaptor is connected to) the instrument, the

data will be retained, even when the power is turned off. It will also be

retained long enough to exchange an old set of batteries for a new set. If

you have important data in the instrument which you don’t want to lose,

please take care to keep fresh batteries inserted in (or keep an AC power

adaptor connected to) the instrument, and to regularly save data.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper

use or modiﬁcations to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

* The illustrations and LED displays as shown in this owner’s manual

are for instructional purposes only, and may be different from the

ones on your instrument.

Congratulations!

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha DD-55. The DD-55 has been developed

to respond and play like a drum set - but with greater ease, ﬂexibility and

sophisticated functions. Before you use the instrument, we recommend that you

carefully read through this manual.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your DD-55 for playing. Make sure

to read this section carefully before using the instrument.

Although the DD-55 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends

use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than bat-

teries and does not deplete resources.

qMake sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the DD-55

is set to STANDBY.

wConnect the AC adaptor (PA-5C or other adaptor speciﬁ-

cally recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.

ePlug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or

unplug the AC adaptor) during any DD-55 record operation!

Doing so can result in a loss of data.

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5C AC Power Adaptor (or other adap-

tor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to power your

instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may

result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the DD-

55.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the DD-55, or

during electrical storms.

For battery operation the DD-55 requires six 1.5V “C” size,

R14P (LR14) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are

recommended.) When the batteries need to be replaced, the

volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other

problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off

and replace the batteries, as described below.

qOpen the battery compartment cover located on the instru-

ment’s bottom panel.

wInsert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the

polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.

eReplace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks

ﬁrmly in place.

• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.

NEVER mix old and new batteries.

• Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same

time.

• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in

order to prevent possible ﬂuid leakage from the battery.

• Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor while the batteries are installed will

reset the DD-55 to the defaults.

Using a pair of headphones

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be

plugged in here for private practice or late-night

playing. The internal stereo speaker system is

automatically shut off when a pair of head phones

is plugged into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack.

Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long peri-

ods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.

• Connect the DD-55 to external equipment only after turning off

power for all devices. To prevent damage to the speakers, set the

volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before con-

necting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in elec-

tric shock or equipment damage.

• Since speakers are built into the

DD-55, you should be careful to

never leave any video tapes,

cassette tapes, ﬂoppy disks or

any kind of magnetic storage

media on the panel — doing so

may result in data loss or dam-

age to the items. Also avoid

using the DD-55 near a televi-

sion or computer monitor, since

interference may result.

Using the Foot Pedals (1/2)

When connected, these pedals can be used simul-

taneously play the drum set’s hi-hat pedal or bass

drum voices — or they can also be assigned to

play other voices as well. Connect the supplied

Pedal 1 to the PEDAL 1 jack @4 and Pedal 2 to

the PEDAL 2 jack @1.

• Make sure that the pedal plugs are properly con-

nected to the PEDAL jacks before turning on the

power.

• Do not press Pedal 2 while turning the power on.

Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the

pedal, resulting in reversed pedal operation.

• Avoid using the pedals directly on a soft ﬂoor,

since they may scratch the surface of the ﬂoor.

Playing the Demo Song

The DD-55 features a demonstration song, specially created to show you the dynamic

possibilities of the instrument.

1Turn on the power.

2Start the Demo Song.

3Stop the Demo Song.

Turn the [STANDBY/ON] switch ON.

• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still ﬂow-

ing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the DD-

55 for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the

wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

Press the [DEMO] button and the demo song starts playing.

Adjusting the Pad’s Sensitivity

The factory default setting for pad sensitivity should provide you with trouble-free use. However, it is possi-

ble to adjust the pad’s sensitivity (0 - 2, factory default = 1) if you are experiencing one of the problems

shown below.

● Striking two pads simultaneously results in one of the pads not sounding.

→Set the pad sensitivity level to 2. When two pads are simultaneously struck with this set-

ting, both pads will sound together.

However, if you strike a pad with too much force, you may inadvertently trigger the sound

of another pad.

● Striking a pad results in other pads also sounding, though they were not

struck.

MIDI Functions

The MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals, located on the DD-55’s right side panel, offer

broadened musical possibilities through use of MIDI. What is MIDI? What can you do

with MIDI? And how can you use MIDI with the DD-55? Here are some answers to

those questions...

No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument.” In the world

today, these are the two main categories of instruments.

Let’s consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. With

the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar,

you directly pluck a string and the note sounds.

But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?

As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously

recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information

received from the pads and pedals. So then what is the information from the pads and pedals that

becomes the basis for note production?

For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the keyboard.

Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out infor-

mation from the keyboard such as with what voice, with which key, about how strong, when was it

pressed and when was it released. Then each piece of information is changed into a number value

and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored

sampling note.

What’s MIDI?

● Acoustic guitar note production ● Digital instrument note production

Pluck a string and the body reso-

nates the sound.

Based on playing information from the pads and

pedals, a sampling note stored in the tone genera-

tor is played through the speakers.

MIDI Functions

MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic

musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note,

Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.

The DD-55 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of control-

ler data.

The DD-55 can be controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine tone

generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change parameter values and of course

play the voices speciﬁed for the various parts.

MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages.

● Channel Messages

The DD-55 is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 channels. This is usually expressed

as “it can play 16 instruments at the same time.” Channel messages transmit information such

as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.

● System Messages

This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. System messages include mes-

sages like Exclusive Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument manufacturer and

Realtime Messages that control the MIDI device.

The messages transmitted/received by the DD-55 are shown in the MIDI Implementation Chart on

page 41.

Message Name DD-55 Operation/Panel Setting

Note ON/OFF Messages which are generated when the pad or pedal is played.

Each message includes a speciﬁc note number which corresponds to the

pad which is struck, plus a velocity value based on how hard the pad is

struck.

Program Change Voice setting (control change bank select MSB/LSB setting; only receive

is available)

Control Change Voice setting (volume, pan pot, etc.; only receive is available)

About MIDI terminals

In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must be connected by a MIDI cable.

The DD-55 is equipped with two types of MIDI terminals, both of which are located on the right side panel.

MIDI IN .................... Data transmitted from other MIDI instruments via MIDI, is received at

this terminal.

MIDI OUT ................ Data produced by the DD-55, is transmitted to other MIDI instruments

via MIDI from this terminal.

• Never use MIDI cables longer

than about 15 meters. Cables

longer than this can pick up

noise which can cause data

errors.

MIDI Functions

The DD-55 also features side panel MIDI terminals (MIDI IN and MIDI OUT) as well as a compre-

hensive set of MIDI functions, that let you use the instrument in a variety of recording and perfor-

mance applications.

In all cases, make sure to properly set the MIDI Transmit Channels on the DD-55. Also make appro-

priate settings on the connected instruments. (Refer to the relevant owner’s manuals for details.)

● You can play the voices and sounds of the DD-55 from another MIDI instrument

This setup allows you to control the DD-55 from a MIDI keyboard controller — espe-

cially one not having a tone generator. Connect the MIDI IN terminal on the DD-55 to

the MIDI OUT terminal on the other instrument.

● You can play the voices and sounds of another MIDI instrument from the DD-55

In this setup, you can play another MIDI instrument or tone generator from the DD-55.

For example, this lets you mix two different sounds together when you play a pad on the

DD-55. Connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the DD-55 to the MIDI IN terminal on the

other instrument.

● You can record your performance on the DD-55 to a connected sequencer or

computer

Here, you can record all your playing, along with the DD-55’s auto accompaniment, to

a connected computer or sequencer. Naturally, you can use the sophisticated functions

of the computer or sequencer to edit your data, and play it back using the sounds of the

DD-55. The DD-55 also lets you play back up to 16 different channels — letting you

create complex recordings and compositions.

To set up, connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the DD-55 to the MIDI IN terminal on

the sequencer or computer (allowing you to record). Also, connect the MIDI IN termi-

nal on the DD-55 to the MIDI OUT terminal on the sequencer or computer (allowing

playback). You may need to set Local On/Off (page 26) to off, for best results.

• When using a computer, special software (sequencer software) is needed.

MIDI Functions

Simultaneously press the [DEMO] and [START/STOP] button to enter the MIDI/Utility mode. An

“mm” appears in the display indicating the MIDI/Utility mode.

When the DD-55 is connected via MIDI to another MIDI device — such as a sequencer or rhythm

machine — you can have the two devices play back in perfect synchronization. To do this properly,

you have to make sure that the time based functions (song playback, etc.) on each device are properly

set, as to whether they are controlled by internal clock or external clock. When the internal clock (I)

is enabled on the DD-55, timing will be controlled by the DD-55’s internal clock. When external

clock (E) selected, the DD-55 will synchronize to the external sequencer’s or computer’s clock.

I (Internal) ...............The DD-55’s clock is used as the timing clock.

E (External)...............The external clock is used as the timing clock (If the clock is set to

external without being connected to another MIDI device, the DD-55’s

Song Play or Demo functions will not operate.)

wise). To set the clock to “E” (internal), turn the DIAL to the left

(counter-clockwise).

After the clock is set, exit the MIDI/Utility mode.

• The default MIDI clock setting is “I” (internal).

MIDI Functions

The Local ON/OFF setting determines whether or not the internal voices respond to the notes you

play on the DD-55’s pads. Setting this to OFF disconnects the DD-55’s pads from the voices. How-

ever, data produced by the DD-55 is transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal.

on (Local ON) ..........The internal voices will be played and controlled by the DD-55 and its

pads. Data received via MIDI will also be played by the DD-55.

oFF (Local OFF) .....Striking the pads will not produce any sound from the voices. However,

the data will be transmitted through the MIDI OUT. However, data

received via MIDI will be played by the DD-55.

• Normally, this should be set to “on” — since you’ll want to hear the sound of the

DD-55 as you play it. However, for external sequencer applications, you may

need to set this to “oFF” to avoid getting “double” notes, in which the sounds of

the DD-55 are played twice — once from the pads and once again by the pad

data routed through the sequencer.

Troubleshooting.......................................................................

In many cases, problems or malfunctions that occur during use can be remedied easily.

Please check the following list before deciding that your DD-55 is damaged.

If the suggested remedy is ineffective, take the DD-55 to an authorized Yamaha dealer

for proper diagnosis and repair. Do not attempt to repair this digital instrument by

yourself as serious damage may occur.

Problem Cause/Solution

A buzz or click occurs momentarily when the

DD-55 is turned ON or OFF

This is a normal power surge noise that occurs when the

POWER switch is operated.

The LED display is completely dark. When the

pads are struck, the display is dark and returns

to “000”.

The batteries are low and should be replaced with a com-

plete set of six new batteries immediately. Ideally, an

optional AC adaptor PA-5C should be used to power the

DD-55 (see page 5).

The custom pad voice assignments have disap-

peared or defaulted.

No sound comes from the speakers. • The volume is set too low. Adjust the volume (see page 8).

• A plug is inserted into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack and

should be taken out (see page 7).

• The LOCAL ON/OFF is set to OFF. Set the LOCAL ON/

OFF to ON (see page 26).

• You are in the MIDI/Utility mode. Exit the MIDI/Utility

mode (see page 25).

Striking two pads simultaneously results in one

of the pads not sounding.

Refer to “Adjusting the Pad’s Sensitivity ” to resolve the

problem (see page 13).

Striking a pad results in other pads also sound-

ing, though they were not struck.

The selected voice does not sound when the

pad is struck.

*5 Recording to an external sequencer from the DD-55 and playing back the data may result in selection of a

different Reverb effect or a different kit.

Sending MIDI data from the DD-55 to an external tone generator may result in an unexpected voice, partic-

ularly if the tone generator doesn’t have the same kind of voice as the DD-55.

Appendix

■ Effect map

* If the received value does not contain an effect type in the TYPE LSB, the LSB will be directed to TYPE 0.

* The numbers in parentheses in front of the Effect Type names correspond to the number indicated in the display.

* By using an external sequencer, which is capable of editing and transmitting the system exclusive messages and param-

eter changes, you can select the Reverb, Chorus and DSP effect types which are not accessible from the DD-55 panel

itself.
