Enter/Exit the MIDI/Utility Mode
To enter the MIDI mode, press the [START/STOP] and [DEMO]
buttons simultaneously, an “
mm
” will appear in the display to indicate the
MIDI mode.
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.
1 Display the clock setting
After entering the MIDI/Utility mode, press the [DRUM 1] button to
see the current setting for the MIDI clock.
2 Set the Clock to External or Internal
To set the clock to “E” (external), turn the DIAL to the right (clock-
wise). To set the clock to “I” (internal), turn the DIAL to the left (counter-
clockwise).
3 Exit the MIDI/Utility mode
After the clock is set, exit the MIDI/Utility mode.

50’s Song Play or Demo functions will not respond).
To exit the MIDI mode, once again press the [START/STOP] and
[DEMO] buttons simultaneously, the MIDI mode will be exited and the
DD-50 will return to its normal play mode.
