Since speakers are built into the DD65/YDD-60, you should be careful to never leave any video tapes, cassette tapes, oppy disks or any kind of magnetic storage media on the paneldoing so may result in data loss or damage to the items. 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. Also, to avoid damage or injury, refrain from waving them recklessly or throwing them.

Using the Foot Pedals (1/2) When connected, these pedals can be used simultaneously play the drum sets hi-hat pedal or bass drum voicesor they can also be assigned to play other voices as well. Connect the supplied Pedal 1 to the PEDAL 1 jack @4 and Pedal 2 to the PEDAL 2 jack @3.
Make sure that the pedal plugs are properly connected to the PEDAL jacks before turning on the power. Do not press the pedals while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the pedal, resulting in reversed pedal operation. Avoid using the pedals directly on a soft oor, since they may scratch the surface of the oor. Avoid getting caught in or tripping over the pedal cords; this may cause the instrument to fall and result in damage or injury.

Playing the Demo Song

The DD-65/YDD-60 features several demonstration songs (001005), specially created to show you the dynamic possibilities of the instrument.

Turn on the power.

Turn on the [STANDBY/ON] switch on.
Even when the switch is in the STANDBY position, electricity is still owing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the DD-65/YDD-60 for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

Start the Demo Song.

Press the [DEMO] button and the demo song starts playing.

Enter the Function mode by pressing the [FUNCTION] button, then press the [DRUM 1] or [DRUM 2] button a number of times until the SGL item appears. The current Song volume 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.
The [DRUM 1] and [DRUM 2] buttons change the selected order of the function item.

About the Pad Sound Mechanism
Each time you strike a pad, the sensor which is located at the bottom of the pad triggers an electronic signal and makes a drum sound. If you strike a pad too strongly, nearby sensors may also respond to the hit and trigger unwanted sounds. The DD-65/ YDD-60 is set to ignore weak signals from the pads in order to prevent inadvertent, unwanted sounds. However, this may result in problems when intentionally striking two pads simultaneously. If one pad is struck strongly and the other weakly, the pad struck weakly may not sound (even though you want it to). To solve this, you can change the DD-65/YDD-60 settings or alter your playing technique (as described below). Striking two pads simultaneously results in one of the pads not sounding. Set the pad sensitivity level to 2. This may solve the problem if you strike one of the pads weakly. Better yet, take care to strike both pads with equal force. Striking one pad results in other pads also sounding, even though they were not struck. Set the pad sensitivity level to 0. With this setting, pads that are not struck are effectively kept from responding to strong hits on nearby pads.

DD-65/YDD-60 A USB-MIDI interface (such as the Yamaha UX16)
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.
When using a computer, special software (sequencer software) is needed.

Local ON/OFF

Local Control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator system; the internal tone generator is active when local control is on, and inactive when local control is off. (on). This is the normal setting in which notes played on the instruments keyboard are sounded by the internal tone generator system. Data received via the instruments MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator. OFF (off).. With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound (pad or pedal performance), but the performance data is transmitted via the MIDI terminal. Data received via the instruments MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator.

On NOTE

Normally, this should be set to onsince youll want to hear the sound of the instrument as you play it. However, for external sequencer applications, you may need to set this to off to avoid getting double notes, in which the sounds of the instrument are played twiceonce from the pads and once again by the pad data routed through the sequencer.
Enter the Local On/Off setting function.
Press the [FUNCTION] button once, then press the [DRUM 1] or [DRUM 2] button a number of times until the LCL item appears. After a while, the current On/Off status appears next to the LCL indication.

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.
Problem A buzz or click occurs momentarily when the instrument is turned ON or OFF The LED display is completely dark. When the pads are struck, the display is dark and returns to 001. The Custom Kit voice assignments have disappeared or defaulted. When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.
Cause/Solution This is a normal power surge noise that occurs when the POWER switch is operated. The batteries are low and should be replaced with a complete set of six new batteries immediately. Ideally, an optional AC adaptor should be used to power the instrument (see page 8).
Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument. The volume is set too low. Adjust the volume (see page 12). A plug is inserted into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack and should be taken out (see page 9). The LOCAL ON/OFF is set to OFF. Set the LOCAL ON/ OFF to ON (see page 31). Use the PAD ASSIGN function to program the desired voice to the appropriate pad (see page 16).
No sound comes from the speakers.
The selected voice does not sound when the pad is struck. The desired voice has not been assigned to the pad. Suddenly FL appears and recording is stopped. Song is automatically started when Pad is struck.
The amount of recorded data has exceeded the limit of 10,000 notes. Pad Start is set to ON. Set Pad Start to OFF. (See page 23.)
