 4 APPLICATIONS
1. Example Setups

The DDR-30 can be up with various MID!

set
devices other than the Drum Pads, and work
excellently as a digital drum module.

a. Setup with a keyboard recorder

Using the MIDI Cables (MSC-15, 25 or 50), con-

nect the MIDI iN's and MIDI OUT's as shown in
the below picture. Now, the rhythm played on the
DDR-30 can be recorded into the keyboard recor-
der, and played back on the keyboard recorder.
