Playing a Song

DD-75 Owner’s Manual

The Tap Start function allows you to set the song’s overall tempo as well as start the accompaniment—simply by

tapping out the rhythm.

The accompaniment will playback at the tempo with which the pads are struck or the pedals are pressed. The

song tempo can be set anywhere from 32 to 320 beats per minute.

1 Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button.

 Song Volume

The Song Volume can be used to adjust the balance

between the song accompaniment and your own perfor-

mance.

Enter the Function mode by pressing the [FUNCTION] but-

ton, then press the [DRUM 3] or [BACKING] button a number

of times until the “SGL” item appears. The current Song vol-

ume value appears when it is released.

To raise the value, turn the dial to the right (clockwise), and to

lower it, turn the dial to the left (counter-clockwise). Volume

range is from 0 to 127.

Exit from the Function mode by pressing the [FUNCTION]

button.

 About the Beat Indicator

During song playback, the three beat lamps in the display will flash in a specific pattern to help you

in keeping the beat.

Tap Start

While song playback is stopped, press the [TEMPO/TAP] button. All

three of the beat lamps flash, indicating the instrument is set to Tap

Start standby.
