PRECAUTIONS  
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING  
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.  
WARNING  
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,  
short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:  
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or  
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable  
parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immedi-  
ately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.  
power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the  
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.  
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by  
Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instru-  
ment or overheating.  
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet  
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill  
into any openings.  
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the  
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.  
• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a  
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual  
smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the  
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may  
have accumulated on it.  
CAUTION  
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the  
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:  
• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or  
radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,  
place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk  
on, trip over, or roll anything over it.  
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televi-  
sions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can  
affect proper operation of the other products.  
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acci-  
dentally fall over.  
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always  
hold the plug itself and not the cord.  
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other  
cables.  
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con-  
nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-  
heating in the outlet.  
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thin-  
ners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.  
Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since  
this might discolor the panel or keyboard.  
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during  
electrical storms.  
• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/-  
polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or bat-  
tery fluid leakage.  
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and  
do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.  
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-  
fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you  
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.  
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries  
together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline bat-  
teries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or dif-  
ferent types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause  
overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.  
IDATA BACK-UP AND STORAGE  
• Yamaha recommends that you regularly save data using an external device  
such as the floppy disk-based Yamaha MIDI data filer MDF3, and storing  
the floppy disks in a safe, cool, dry place. YAMAHA CANNOT BE HELD  
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENTAL LOSS OF IMPORTANT MUSIC  
DATA! Regarding the data you have created, as long as fresh batteries are  
inserted in (or an AC power adaptor is connected to) the instrument, the  
data will be retained, even when the power is turned off. It will also be  
retained long enough to exchange an old set of batteries for a new set. If  
you have important data in the instrument which you don’t want to lose,  
please take care to keep fresh batteries inserted in (or keep an AC power  
adaptor connected to) the instrument, and to regularly save data.  
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.  
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.  
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long  
time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage  
of the battery fluid.  
• Keep batteries away from children.  
• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery  
fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immedi-  
ately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may  
possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.  
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper  
use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.  
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off  
the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all  
components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the  
volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the  
volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening  
level.  
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.  
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.  
* The illustrations and LED displays as shown in this owner’s manual  
are for instructional purposes only, and may be different from the  
ones on your instrument.  
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme  
cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the  
day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the inter-  
nal components.

Setting Up  
This section contains information about setting up your DD-55 for playing. Make sure  
to read this section carefully before using the instrument.  
Power Requirements  
Although the DD-55 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 bat-  
teries and does not deplete resources.  
Using an AC Power Adaptor  
q Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the DD-55  
is set to STANDBY.  
w Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5C or other adaptor specifi-  
cally recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.  
e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.  
• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or  
unplug the AC adaptor) during any DD-55 record operation!  
Doing so can result in a loss of data.  
PA-5C  
• Use ONLY aYamaha PA-5C AC Power Adaptor (or other adap-  
tor specifically recommended byYamaha) to power your  
instrument from the AC mains.The use of other adaptors may  
result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the DD-  
55.  
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the DD-55, or  
during electrical storms.  
Using Batteries  
For battery operation the DD-55 requires six 1.5V “C” size,  
R14P (LR14) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are  
recommended.) When the batteries need to be replaced, the  
volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other  
problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off  
and replace the batteries, as described below.  
q Open the battery compartment cover located on the instru-  
ment’s bottom panel.  
w Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the  
polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.  
e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks  
firmly in place.  
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.  
NEVER mix old and new batteries.  
• Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same  
time.  
• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in  
order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.  
• Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor while the batteries are installed will  
reset the DD-55 to the defaults.

Using a pair of headphones  
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be  
plugged in here for private practice or late-night  
playing. The internal stereo speaker system is  
automatically shut off when a pair of head phones  
is plugged into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack.  
Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long peri-  
ods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.  
Side Panel (Left)  
• Connect the DD-55 to external equipment only after turning off  
power for all devices.To prevent damage to the speakers, set the  
volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before con-  
necting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in elec-  
tric shock or equipment damage.

Side Panel (Right)  
• Since speakers are built into the  
DD-55, you should be careful to  
never leave any video tapes,  
cassette tapes, floppy disks or  
any kind of magnetic storage  
media on the panel — doing so  
may result in data loss or dam-  
age to the items. Also avoid  
using the DD-55 near a televi-  
sion or computer monitor, since  
interference may result.

Adjusting the Pad’s Sensitivity  
The factory default setting for pad sensitivity should provide you with trouble-free use. However, it is possi-  
ble to adjust the pad’s sensitivity (0 - 2, factory default = 1) if you are experiencing one of the problems  
shown below.  
G Striking two pads simultaneously results in one of the pads not sounding.  
→Set the pad sensitivity level to 2. When two pads are simultaneously struck with this set-  
ting, both pads will sound together.  
However, if you strike a pad with too much force, you may inadvertently trigger the sound  
of another pad.  
G Striking a pad results in other pads also sounding, though they were not  
struck.  
→Set the pad sensitivity level to 0. With this setting, pads that are not struck will become  
harder to sound.  
However, if you strike two pads simultaneously without enough force, one of the struck  
pads may not sound.

MIDI Functions  
The MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals, located on the DD-55’s right side panel, offer  
broadened musical possibilities through use of MIDI. What is MIDI? What can you do  
with MIDI? And how can you use MIDI with the DD-55? Here are some answers to  
those questions...  
What’s MIDI?  
No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument.” In the world  
today, these are the two main categories of instruments.  
Let’s consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. With  
the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar,  
you directly pluck a string and the note sounds.  
But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?  
G Acoustic guitar note production  
G Digital instrument note production  
Sampling  
Note  
Sampling  
Note  
Tone Generator  
(Electronic  
circuit)  
Playing  
the pads  
Pluck a string and the body reso-  
nates the sound.  
Based on playing information from the pads and  
pedals, a sampling note stored in the tone genera-  
tor is played through the speakers.  
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously  
recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information  
received from the pads and pedals. So then what is the information from the pads and pedals that  
becomes the basis for note production?  
For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the keyboard.  
Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out infor-  
mation from the keyboard such as with what voice, with which key, about how strong, when was it  
pressed and when was it released. Then each piece of information is changed into a number value  
and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored  
sampling note.  
G Example of Keyboard Information  
Voice number (with what voice)  
Note number (with which key)  
01 (grand piano)  
60 (C3)  
Note on (when was it pressed) and note off  
(when was it released)

MIDI Functions  
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic  
musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note,  
Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.  
The DD-55 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of control-  
ler data.  
The DD-55 can be controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine tone  
generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change parameter values and of course  
play the voices specified for the various parts.  
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages.  
G Channel Messages  
The DD-55 is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 channels. This is usually expressed  
as “it can play 16 instruments at the same time.” Channel messages transmit information such  
as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.  
Message Name  
Note ON/OFF  
DD-55 Operation/Panel Setting  
Messages which are generated when the pad or pedal is played.  
Each message includes a specific note number which corresponds to the  
pad which is struck, plus a velocity value based on how hard the pad is  
struck.  
Program Change  
Control Change  
Voice setting (control change bank select MSB/LSB setting; only receive  
is available)  
Voice setting (volume, pan pot, etc.; only receive is available)  
G System Messages  
This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. System messages include mes-  
sages like Exclusive Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument manufacturer and  
Realtime Messages that control the MIDI device.  
Message Name  
DD-55 Operation/Panel Setting  
Reverb/Chorus/DSP settings, etc.

The messages transmitted/received by the DD-55 are shown in the MIDI Implementation Chart on  
page 41.  
About MIDI terminals  
In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must be connected by a MIDI cable.  
The DD-55 is equipped with two types of MIDI terminals, both of which are located on the right side panel.  
MIDI IN ....................Data transmitted from other MIDI instruments via MIDI, is received at  
this terminal.  
MIDI OUT ................Data produced by the DD-55, is transmitted to other MIDI instruments  
via MIDI from this terminal.  
• Never use MIDI cables longer  
than about 15 meters. Cables  
longer than this can pick up  
noise which can cause data  
errors.

MIDI Functions  
What You Can Do With MIDI  
The DD-55 also features side panel MIDI terminals (MIDI IN and MIDI OUT) as well as a compre-  
hensive set of MIDI functions, that let you use the instrument in a variety of recording and perfor-  
mance applications.  
In all cases, make sure to properly set the MIDI Transmit Channels on the DD-55. Also make appro-  
priate settings on the connected instruments. (Refer to the relevant owner’s manuals for details.)  
G You can play the voices and sounds of the DD-55 from another MIDI instrument  
This setup allows you to control the DD-55 from a MIDI keyboard controller — espe-  
cially one not having a tone generator. Connect the MIDI IN terminal on the DD-55 to  
the MIDI OUT terminal on the other instrument.

G You can play the voices and sounds of another MIDI instrument from the DD-55  
In this setup, you can play another MIDI instrument or tone generator from the DD-55.  
For example, this lets you mix two different sounds together when you play a pad on the  
DD-55. Connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the DD-55 to the MIDI IN terminal on the  
other instrument.

Here, you can record all your playing, along with the DD-55’s auto accompaniment, to  
a connected computer or sequencer. Naturally, you can use the sophisticated functions  
of the computer or sequencer to edit your data, and play it back using the sounds of the  
DD-55. The DD-55 also lets you play back up to 16 different channels — letting you  
create complex recordings and compositions.  
To set up, connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the DD-55 to the MIDI IN terminal on  
the sequencer or computer (allowing you to record). Also, connect the MIDI IN termi-  
nal on the DD-55 to the MIDI OUT terminal on the sequencer or computer (allowing  
playback). You may need to set Local On/Off (page 26) to off, for best results.

Setting the Clock  
When the DD-55 is connected via MIDI to another MIDI device — such as a sequencer or rhythm  
machine — you can have the two devices play back in perfect synchronization. To do this properly,  
you have to make sure that the time based functions (song playback, etc.) on each device are properly  
set, as to whether they are controlled by internal clock or external clock. When the internal clock (I)  
is enabled on the DD-55, timing will be controlled by the DD-55’s internal clock. When external  
clock (E) selected, the DD-55 will synchronize to the external sequencer’s or computer’s clock.  
I (Internal) ...............The DD-55’s clock is used as the timing clock.  
E (External)...............The external clock is used as the timing clock (If the clock is set to  
external without being connected to another MIDI device, the DD-55’s  
Song Play or Demo functions will not operate.)

MIDI Functions  
Local ON/OFF  
The Local ON/OFF setting determines whether or not the internal voices respond to the notes you  
play on the DD-55’s pads. Setting this to OFF disconnects the DD-55’s pads from the voices. How-  
ever, data produced by the DD-55 is transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal.  
on (Local ON) ..........The internal voices will be played and controlled by the DD-55 and its  
pads. Data received via MIDI will also be played by the DD-55.  
oFF (Local OFF) .....Striking the pads will not produce any sound from the voices. However,  
the data will be transmitted through the MIDI OUT. However, data  
received via MIDI will be played by the DD-55.  
• Normally, this should be set to “on” — since you’ll want to hear the sound of the  
DD-55 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 DD-55 are played twice — once from the pads and once again by the pad  
data routed through the sequencer.

The Sequential Kit features complete rhythm pattern phrases that you can play simply by hitting a pad on the DD-  
55. No need to worry if you hit a pad repeatedly or hit more than one pad — the DD-55 plays the phrase through  
once and stops, until you hit a pad again.
