Congratulations! Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha DD-65/YDD-60. The DD-65/YDD-60 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. Main features The DD-65/YDD-60 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use instrument with the following features and functions.
Contents Main features ........................................................6 Setting Up 8 Power Requirements ............................................8 Panel Controls 10 Playing the Demo Song 12 Adjusting the volume...........................................12 SONG VOLUME .................................................12 Play the Pads/Pedals 30 What is MIDI?..................................................... 30 What You Can Do With MIDI .............................
Setting Up Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power. Power Requirements Although the instrument 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 batteries and does not deplete resources. Using an AC Power Adaptor q Make sure that the power of the instrument is off (display shows no indications).
Setting Up Connecting headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack) voices as well. Connect the supplied Pedal 1 to the PEDAL 1 jack and Pedal 2 to the PEDAL 2 jack. NOTE The DD-65/YDD-60 speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.

Also avoid using the DD-65/YDD-60 near a television or computer monitor, since interference may result. • Use the sticks with caution. Do not use them for anything other than playing the instrument.
Playing the Demo Song The DD-65/YDD-60 features several demonstration songs (001–005), specially created to show you the dynamic possibilities of the instrument. 1 Turn on the power. Turn on the [STANDBY/ON] switch on. CAUTION • Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

About MIDI The MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals, located on this instrument’s rear panel, allow connection to other MIDI instruments, devices and computers for expanded musical functionality—for example, using this instrument to play sounds on other instruments, or for recording your performance to a sequencer or computer. NOTE • Preset song data cannot be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal.
About MIDI A Yamaha UX16 or similar USB-MIDI interface (sold separately) will be necessary for MIDI connection between the instrument and a USB equipped computer. Make sure to purchase a Yamaha UX16 or a quality USB-MIDI interface at a musical instrument store, computer store or electrical appliance store. If you use the UX16 interface, install the driver supplied with the interface on your computer. NOTE • When using a computer, special software (sequencer software) is needed.
About MIDI Setting the MIDI Note Number Each pad and pedal (10 total) can be assigned a specific MIDI note number anywhere from C-2 to G8. NOTE • For information on transmit notes and voices, refer to the “Drum Map” on page 48. 1 Enter the MIDI Note number setting function. Press the [FUNCTION] button once, then press the [DRUM 1] or [DRUM 2] button a number of times until the “not” item appears. After a while, the MIDI note number currently assigned to Pad 1 appears next to the “not” indication.
About MIDI MIDI Note Number Auto Selection ON/OFF Ordinarily, you should keep this function set to on for the instrument (default setting is on). When MIDI Number Auto Selection is on and you strike the pad, the MIDI note number corresponding to the pad (voice) you strike is sent via the MIDI OUT terminal. On the other hand, when MIDI Number Auto Selection is off and you strike the pad, the MIDI note number that you’ve specifically assigned to the pad is sent via the MIDI OUT terminal.
About MIDI Transferring Song files to and from a connected computer Even though this instrument has 100 preset songs, you can also transmit Song files from your computer to this instrument’s Flash memory. Since the area in Flash memory is shared between User songs (U01–O05) and loaded songs, you may need to erase some User songs to load the data. Files of SMF format 0 that you’ve loaded to the instrument can be played.
About MIDI ■ Transferring song files from a computer ......................................... You can transmit Song files from your computer to your instrument’s Flash Memory. For details about how to transmit the data using the Musicsoft Downloader application, refer to the Online help topic “Transferring Data Between the Computer and Instrument (for unprotected data)” of the Musicsoft Downloader.
Appendix Backup and Initialization......................................................... Backup Some internal parameters will be backed up to internal memory even if the power is turned off. You can initialize all internal memory to the default settings or initialize the memory excepting the Songs.
Appendix Troubleshooting ....................................................................... In many cases, problems or malfunctions that occur during use can be remedied easily. Please check the following list before deciding that your instrument is damaged. If the suggested remedy is ineffective, take the instrument 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.
