 Using the MIDI/Utility Mode
The MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals, located on the DD-50’s right side panel, offer broad-
ened musical possibilities through use of MIDI. But, what is MIDI? What can you do with
MIDI? How can you use MIDI with the DD-50? Here are a few examples.

What is MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a world wide standard that
makes it possible for various electronic musical instruments and other devices, such as computers, to
“communicate” with each other. For example, by connecting a MIDI tone generator to the DD-50’s
MIDI OUT terminal, you can play the tone generator’s voices from the DD-50’s pads and pedals.

The DD-50 is equipped with two types of MIDI terminals, both are
located on the right side panel.

● MIDI IN
Data transmitted from other MIDI instruments via MIDI, is re-
ceived at this terminal.
● MIDI OUT
Data produced by the DD-50, is transmitted to other MIDI instru-
MIDI OUT MIDI IN ments via MIDI from this terminal.
• Use a MIDI cable (option), obtainable at your local music dealer, when making
MIDI connections.
• Never use MIDI cables longer than 15 meters in length. (Cables longer than 15
meters can pick up “noise” which can cause data errors.)

What you can do with MIDI

DD-50
● Connect the DD-50’s MIDI OUT jack to a MIDI keyboard’s
MIDI Keyboard’s (or tone generator’s) MIDI IN jack.
MIDI OUT
This setup allows you to use the DD-50’s pads to control another
MIDI IN
MIDI instrument. Playing the DD-50’s pads will result in the other
MIDI instrument’s voice sounding simultaneously, creating a
thicker overall sound.
DD-50
● Connect the DD-50’s MIDI OUT jack to a MIDI sequenc-
MIDI OUT er’s MIDI IN terminal.
Sequencer
MIDI IN Data produced by the DD-50 (Key ON and Velocity data) can be
Yamaha
MIDI Data Filer
MDF2 etc.
recorded to a MIDI sequencer. Data can also be recorded to com-
puters or other sequencers as well.
DD-50 ● Connect the DD-50’s MIDI IN terminal to a MIDI key-
MIDI Keyboard
MIDI OUT
board’s MIDI OUT terminal.
MIDI IN In this setup the DD-50 can be used as a tone generator and its
voices can be played from a MIDI keyboard. Using a keyboard as a
controller, it is possible to play DD-50 voices that are not assigned
to the pads/pedals.
DD-50
● Connect the DD-50’s MIDI IN terminal to a MIDI sequenc-
MIDI OUT
Sequencer er’s MIDI OUT terminal.
MIDI IN
The sequencer’s data can be used to drive the DD-50’s sounds.

Setting the Clock

Connecting the DD-50, by MIDI cable, to an external MIDI device, such as a sequencer, time based
functions (song playback, etc.) must be controlled by the internal clock (I) or an external clock (E).
When the internal clock (I) is enabled, timing will be controlled by the DD-50’s internal clock. When
an external clock (E) selected, time based functions will be controlled by the sequencer’s or compu-
ter’s clock.
● I (Internal)
The DD-50’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-
50’s Song Play or Demo functions will not respond).

 Using the MIDI/Utility Mode

Local ON/OFF
Setting the Local ON/OFF determines whether or not the internal voices respond to the notes you
play on the DD-50’s pads. Setting this to OFF disconnects the DD-50’s pads from the voices. How-
ever, data produced by the DD-50 is transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal.

● on (Local ON)
The internal voices will be played and controlled by the DD-50 and
its pads. Data received via MIDI will also be played by the DD-50.
● oF (Local OFF)
Striking the pads will not produce any sound from the voices.
However, data received via MIDI will be played by the DD-50.

3 Exit the MIDI/Utility mode

After setting the Local ON/OFF, exit the MIDI/Utility mode.

• Regardless of the Local ON/OFF setting, the DD-50’s performance data

(including demo song data) is always sent to the MIDI OUT terminals for
transmission to external MIDI devices.
• The default Local ON/OFF setting is ON (Local ON).

Setting the MIDI Transmit Channel

Each of the pads/pedals (a total of 9) can be assigned to transmit on any of the 16 MIDI channels,
or turned off (indicated as “oF” in the display). Also, song transmit channels are as shown below:

 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-50 is damaged.

 Adjusting the Pad’s Sensitivity
The factory default setting for pad sensitivity should provide you with trouble-free use. However, it is possible to
adjust the pad’s sensitivity (0-3, factory default = 2) 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 3. When two pads are simultaneously struck with this setting, both pads will sound
together. However, if you strike the pads with too much force, the voice of a pad that is not struck may also
sound.
• Striking a pad results in other pads also sounding, though they were not struck.
→ Set the pad sensitivity level to 1. With this setting, pads that are not struck will become harder to sound.
However, if you strike two pads simultaneously without enough force, one of the struck pads may not sound.
→ By setting the pad sensitivity level to 0, pads that are not struck will be even harder to sound.
Setting Procedure

1Press the [START/STOP] and [DEMO] buttons simultaneously, “mm” will

to exit the pad sensitivity mode and complete the setting procedure.

Einstellen der Pad-Empfindlichkeit

Die werkseitige Standardeinstellung für die Pad-Empfindlichkeit sorgt im Normalfall für problemlosen Spieleinsatz.
Sollte jedoch eines der im folgenden angeführten Probleme auftreten, können Sie die Pad-Empfindlichkeit (0 bis 3,
Standardeinstellung = 2) höher oder niedriger einstellen.

• Beim gleichzeitigen Anschlagen von zwei Pads erzeugt eines keinen Ton.
→ Stellen Sie die Pad-Empfindlichkeit auf “3” ein. Wenn Sie bei dieser Einstellung zwei Pads anschlagen, erzeugen
beide Ton. Bei zu starkem Anschlagen kann es jedoch vorkommen, das auch andere Pads “mitschwingen”.
• Beim Anschlagen eines Pads erzeugen andere Pads Ton, obwohl sie nicht berührt wurden.
→ Stellen Sie die Pad-Empfindlichkeit auf “1” ein. Bei dieser Einstellung reagieren die Pads weniger empfindlich.
Wenn jedoch zwei Pads gleichzeitig mit zu wenig Kraft angeschlagen werden, klingt eines davon unter
Umständen nicht.
→ Wenn die Pad-Empfindlichkeit auf “0” eingestellt wird, schwingen andere Pads nur bei extremer Anschlagstärke mit.

Réglage de la sensibilité des pads
Le réglage par défaut en usine de la sensibilité des pads devrait vous permettre une utilisation sans problème.
Cependant, il est possible de régler la sensibilité des pads (de 0 à 3, 2 étant le défaut) au cas où vous seriez confronté
à l’un des problèmes mentionnés ci-dessous.
• En frappant sur deux pads en même temps, vous n’entendez qu’un des pads.
→ Réglez le niveau de sensibilité de pad sur 3. Lorsque vous frappez sur deux pads en même temps avec ce réglage,
les deux pads résonnent ensemble. Cependant, si vous frappez sur les pads avec une force trop grande, vous
pouvez aussi entendre la voix d’un pad que vous n’avez pas touché.
• Le fait de frapper un pad fait aussi résonner d’autres pads, même si vous ne les avez pas touchés.
→ Réglez le niveau de sensibilité de pad sur 1. Avec ce réglage, les pads qui ne sont pas frappés ont plus de mal à
résonner. Cependant, si vous frappez sur les pads avec une force insuffisante, l’un des pads frappés peut ne pas
résonner.
→ En réglant le niveau de sensibilité de pad sur 0, les pads que vous n’aurez pas touché résonneront encore moins.

Ajuste de la sensibilidad de los pulsadores

El ajuste de fábrica para la sensibilidad de los pulsadores debe proporcionar un funcionamiento sin problemas. Sin
embargo, es posible ajustar la sensibilidad de los pulsadores (0-3, ajuste de fábrica = 2) si le ocurre alguno de los
problemas que se mencionan a continuación.
• Cuando se accionan dos pulsadores simultáneamente, uno de los pulsadores no suena.
→ Ajuste el nivel de sensibilidad de los pulsadores a 3. Cuando se accionan dos pulsadores simultáneamente con
este ajuste, ambos pulsadores sonarán al mismo tiempo. Sin embargo, si acciona los pulsadores con demasiada
fuerza, la voz de un pulsador que no se ha accionado también puede sonar.
• Al accionar un pulsador, también suenan otros pulsadores, aunque no hayan sido accionados.
→ Ajuste el nivel de sensibilidad a 1. Con este ajuste, será más difícil que suenen los pulsadores que no han sido
accionados. Sin embargo, si acciona dos pulsadores simultáneamente sin suficiente fuerza, es posible que no
suene uno de los pulsadores.
→ Ajustando el nivel de sensibilidad de los pulsadores a 0, todavía será más difícil que suenen los pulsadores que
no se accionan.
Procedimiento de ajuste
