Congratulations!
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha DD-50. The DD-50 has been developed to
act and play like a drum set but with greater ease. Before you use the instrument, we recommend you to read through this manual.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Taking Care of Your DD-50
Your DD-50 will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the simple rules given below:
■ Location
Do not expose the instrument to the following
conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or
more serious damage.
● Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
● High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source,
outside, or in a car during the daytime).
● Excessive humidity .
● Excessive dust.
● Strong vibration.
■ Power Supply
● T urn the power switch OFF when the instru-
ment is not in use.
● An AC adaptor, if used (the DD-50 runs from
either batteries or an optional AC adaptor),
should be unplugged from the AC outlet if
the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time.
● Unplug the AC adaptor during electric
storms.
● Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same
AC outlet as appliances with high power
consumption, such as electric heaters or
ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors
since these can result in reduced sound
quality, operation errors, and possibly damage.
■ Turn Power OFF When Making
Connections
● To avoid damage to the instrument and other
devices to which it is connected, turn the
power switches of all related devices OFF
prior to connecting or disconnecting cables.
■ Handling and Transport
● Never apply excessive force to the controls,
connectors or other parts of the instrument.
● Always unplug cables by gripping the plug
firmly, not by pulling on the cable.
● Disconnect all cables before moving the
instrument.
● Physical shocks caused by dropping, bump-
ing, or placing heavy objects on the instrument can result in scratches and more serious
damage.
■ Cleaning
● Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft
cloth.
● A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.
● Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
● Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the
instrument (vinyl can stick to and discolor the
surface).
■ Electrical Interference
● This instrument contains digital circuitry and
may cause interference if placed too close to
radio or television receivers. If this occurs,
move the instrument further away from the
affected equipment.
■ Data Backup
● Custom data and some settings (see page 21)
will be retained in memory even if the power
switch is turned OFF as long as an AC power
adaptor is connected or batteries are installed.
■ Service and Modification
● The DD-50 contains no user serviceable parts.
Opening it or tampering with it in anyway can
lead to irreparable damage and possibly
electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified
YAMAHA personnel.
YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

Your DD-50 will run either from batteries or an optional power adaptor. Follow the instructions below
according to the power source you intend to use.
Using an AC-Adaptor (sold separately)
Connect the optional power adaptor (Yamaha
PA-3 or PA-3B) to the DC IN 10-12V jack located
on the unit’s left side panel, and plug the AC power
adaptor into an AC power outlet.
DC IN 10 - 12V
• Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the
PA-3 or PA-3B. Use of an incompatible adaptor may
result in the instrument becoming hot or, irreparable
damage to the DD-50. It may also result in fire. If the
instrument is damaged due to use of an incompatible
adaptor, YAMAHA is not responsible for the damage.

An optional set of stereo headphones (such as
the Yamaha HPE-150 or HPE-3) can be connected
to the PHONES/AUX OUT jack located on the
side panel. When a pair of headphones is connected to the jack, the DD-50’s internal speakers
will switch off automatically, perfect for private
practice or late night playing. If you want to use an
external sound system, the headphone jack can
also be used to connect the DD-50 to a stereo
system or mixing console. (Use a standard plug n
pin plug adaptor to connect the DD-50 to a stereo
system.)
* Turn the power OFF on all equipment before
making any connections.

• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC
adaptor if an optional AC adaptor is connected while
batteries are installed in the instrument.
• It is recommended that you replace worn batteries as
soon as possible. When battery voltage drops, the
DD-50’s display will dim and/or the sound will become
distorted. When this occurs, replace the batteries with
a complete set of six new batteries of the same type.
• NEVER mix old and new batteries, different types of
batteries (alkaline, magnesium, etc.), batteries by
different makers, or batteries from the same maker
but of different types.
Misuse may cause the instrument to become hot,
result in fire, or battery leakage.
• Also, to prevent damage due to battery leakage,
remove all of the batteries from the instrument when it
is not to be used for an extended period of time.
Batteries left in an unused instrument will also loose
their power over time.

Using the MIDI/Utility Mode
The MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals, located on the DD-50’s right side panel, offer broad-
ened musical possibilities through use of MIDI. But, what is MIDI? What can you do with
MIDI? How can you use MIDI with the DD-50? Here are a few examples.
What is MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a world wide standard that
makes it possible for various electronic musical instruments and other devices, such as computers, to
“communicate” with each other. For example, by connecting a MIDI tone generator to the DD-50’s
MIDI OUT terminal, you can play the tone generator’s voices from the DD-50’s pads and pedals.
The DD-50 is equipped with two types of MIDI terminals, both are
located on the right side panel.
● MIDI IN
Data transmitted from other MIDI instruments via MIDI, is received at this terminal.

Sequencer
MIDI OUT

MIDI IN
● MIDI OUT
Data produced by the DD-50, is transmitted to other MIDI instru-
MIDI IN
ments via MIDI from this terminal.
• Use a MIDI cable (option), obtainable at your local music dealer, when making
MIDI connections.
• Never use MIDI cables longer than 15 meters in length. (Cables longer than 15
meters can pick up “noise” which can cause data errors.)
What you can do with MIDI
● Connect the DD-50’s MIDI OUT jack to a MIDI keyboard’s
(or tone generator’s) MIDI IN jack.
This setup allows you to use the DD-50’s pads to control another
MIDI instrument. Playing the DD-50’s pads will result in the other
MIDI instrument’s voice sounding simultaneously, creating a
thicker overall sound.
● Connect the DD-50’s MIDI OUT jack to a MIDI sequenc-
er’s MIDI IN terminal.
Data produced by the DD-50 (Key ON and Velocity data) can be
recorded to a MIDI sequencer. Data can also be recorded to computers or other sequencers as well.
● Connect the DD-50’s MIDI IN terminal to a MIDI key-
board’s MIDI OUT terminal.
In this setup the DD-50 can be used as a tone generator and its
voices can be played from a MIDI keyboard. Using a keyboard as a
controller, it is possible to play DD-50 voices that are not assigned
to the pads/pedals.
● Connect the DD-50’s MIDI IN terminal to a MIDI sequenc-
er’s MIDI OUT terminal.
The sequencer’s data can be used to drive the DD-50’s sounds.

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 computer’s clock.
● I (Internal)
The DD-50’s clock is used as the timing clock.

Local ON/OFF
Setting the Local ON/OFF determines whether or not the internal voices respond to the notes you
play on the DD-50’s pads. Setting this to OFF disconnects the DD-50’s pads from the voices. However, data produced by the DD-50 is transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal.
● on (Local ON)
The internal voices will be played and controlled by the DD-50 and
its pads. Data received via MIDI will also be played by the DD-50.
● oF (Local OFF)
Striking the pads will not produce any sound from the voices.
However, data received via MIDI will be played by the DD-50.

Troubleshooting
In many cases, problems or malfunctions that occur during use can be remedied easily.
Please check the following list before deciding that your DD-50 is damaged.
If the suggested remedy is ineffective, take the DD-50 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.
ProblemCause/Solution
A buzz or click occurs momentarily when the DD-50
is turned ON or OFF
The LED display is completely dark. When the pads
are struck, the display is dark and returns to “00”.
No sound comes from the speakers.
Striking two pads simultaneously results in one of
the pads not sounding.
Striking a pad results in other pads also sounding,
though they were not struck.
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. Or,
the optional AC adaptor PA-3 or PA-3B should be
used to power the DD-50 (see page 3).
• The volume is set too low. Adjust the volume (see
page 6).
• A plug is inserted into the PHONES/AUX. OUT
jack and should be taken out (see page 3).
• The LOCAL ON/OFF is set to OFF. Set the LOCAL
ON/OFF to ON (see page 18).
• You are in the MIDI/Utility mode. Exit the MIDI/
Utility mode (see page 17).
Refer to “Adjusting the Pad’s Sensitivity” to resolve
the problem (see page 30).

The selected voice does not sound when the pad is
struck.
The custom pad voice assignments have disappeared or defaulted.
The song or Demo does not start playback.
“Cr” appears in the display when the POWER switch
is turned ON, and backed up data has been erased.
The desired voice has not been assigned to the pad.
Use the PAD ASSIGN function to program the
desired voice to the appropriate pad (see page 8).
The batteries are low and should be replaced with a
complete set of six new batteries. Or, an optional AC
adaptor (PA-3 or PA-3B) should be used to power
the DD-50 (see page 3).
The MIDI clock has been set to “E” (external).
Change the MIDI clock setting to “I” (inter nal)

Adjusting the Pad’s Sensitivity
The factory default setting for pad sensitivity should provide you with trouble-free use. However, it is possible to
adjust the pad’s sensitivity (0-3, factory default = 2) if you are experiencing one of the problems shown below.
• Striking two pads simultaneously results in one of the pads not sounding.
→ Set the pad sensitivity level to 3. When two pads are simultaneously struck with this setting, both pads will sound
together. However, if you strike the pads with too much force, the voice of a pad that is not struck may also
sound.
• Striking a pad results in other pads also sounding, though they were not struck.
→ Set the pad sensitivity level to 1. 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.
→ By setting the pad sensitivity level to 0, pads that are not struck will be even harder to sound.
Setting Procedure
1Press the [START/STOP] and [DEMO] buttons simultaneously, “mm” will
appear in the display.
2Press the large [SONG VOLUME] button to enter the pad sensitivity mode.
The currently selected pad sensitivity setting will appear in the display.
SONG
VOLUME
3Turn the DIAL to set the pad sensitivity level (0-3).
4Once again, press the [START/STOP] and [DEMO] buttons simultaneously
to exit the pad sensitivity mode and complete the setting procedure.
• The pad sensitivity setting is
retained in memory, even if the
power is switched off, as long as
batteries are installed or the power
adaptor is connected to an AC
outlet. If batteries are not installed
and the power adaptor is not
connected to an AC outlet, the
sensitivity setting will return to its
factory default setting (2).
Einstellen der Pad-Empfindlichkeit
Die werkseitige Standardeinstellung für die Pad-Empfindlichkeit sorgt im Normalfall für problemlosen Spieleinsatz.
Sollte jedoch eines der im folgenden angeführten Probleme auftreten, können Sie die Pad-Empfindlichkeit (0 bis 3,
Standardeinstellung = 2) höher oder niedriger einstellen.
• Beim gleichzeitigen Anschlagen von zwei Pads erzeugt eines keinen Ton.
→ Stellen Sie die Pad-Empfindlichkeit auf “3” ein. Wenn Sie bei dieser Einstellung zwei Pads anschlagen, erzeugen
beide Ton. Bei zu starkem Anschlagen kann es jedoch vorkommen, das auch andere Pads “mitschwingen”.
• Beim Anschlagen eines Pads erzeugen andere Pads Ton, obwohl sie nicht berührt wurden.
→ Stellen Sie die Pad-Empfindlichkeit auf “1” ein. Bei dieser Einstellung reagieren die Pads weniger empfindlich.
Wenn jedoch zwei Pads gleichzeitig mit zu wenig Kraft angeschlagen werden, klingt eines davon unter
Umständen nicht.
→
Wenn die Pad-Empfindlichkeit auf “0” eingestellt wird, schwingen andere Pads nur bei extremer Anschlagstärke mit.
Einstellvorgang
1Die Tasten [START/STOP] und [DEMO] gleichzeitig drücken. “mm” wird
auf dem Display angezeigt.
2Die größere [SONG VOLUME]-Taste drücken, um auf Einstellmodus für
Pad-Empfindlichkeit zu schalten. Die aktuelle Einstellung wird auf dem

Réglage de la sensibilité des pads
Le réglage par défaut en usine de la sensibilité des pads devrait vous permettre une utilisation sans problème.
Cependant, il est possible de régler la sensibilité des pads (de 0 à 3, 2 étant le défaut) au cas où vous seriez confronté
à l’un des problèmes mentionnés ci-dessous.
• En frappant sur deux pads en même temps, vous n’entendez qu’un des pads.
→ Réglez le niveau de sensibilité de pad sur 3. Lorsque vous frappez sur deux pads en même temps avec ce réglage,
les deux pads résonnent ensemble. Cependant, si vous frappez sur les pads avec une force trop grande, vous
pouvez aussi entendre la voix d’un pad que vous n’avez pas touché.
• Le fait de frapper un pad fait aussi résonner d’autres pads, même si vous ne les avez pas touchés.
→ Réglez le niveau de sensibilité de pad sur 1. Avec ce réglage, les pads qui ne sont pas frappés ont plus de mal à
résonner. Cependant, si vous frappez sur les pads avec une force insuffisante, l’un des pads frappés peut ne pas
résonner.
→ En réglant le niveau de sensibilité de pad sur 0, les pads que vous n’aurez pas touché résonneront encore moins.
Procédure de réglage
1Appuyez en même temps sur les boutons [START/STOP] et [DEMO], pour
faire apparaître “mm” sur l’écran.
2Appuyez sur le gros bouton [SONG VOLUME] pour entrer le mode de
sensibilité de pad. Le réglage de sensibilité du pad actuellement sélectionné

3Tournez la molette DIAL pour fixer le niveau de sensibilité du pad (0 à 3).
4Une fois de plus, appuyez en même temps sur les boutons [START/STOP]
et [DEMO] pour sortir du mode de sensibilité de pad et terminer la
procédure de réglage.
• Le réglage de sensibilité de pad
reste mémorisé, même quand
l’alimentation est coupée, aussi
longtemps que les piles sont en
place ou que l’adaptateur secteur
est branché dans une prise murale.
Quand il n’y a plus de piles dans
l’appareil et que l’adaptateur

Ajuste de la sensibilidad de los pulsadores
El ajuste de fábrica para la sensibilidad de los pulsadores debe proporcionar un funcionamiento sin problemas. Sin
embargo, es posible ajustar la sensibilidad de los pulsadores (0-3, ajuste de fábrica = 2) si le ocurre alguno de los
problemas que se mencionan a continuación.
• Cuando se accionan dos pulsadores simultáneamente, uno de los pulsadores no suena.
→ Ajuste el nivel de sensibilidad de los pulsadores a 3. Cuando se accionan dos pulsadores simultáneamente con
este ajuste, ambos pulsadores sonarán al mismo tiempo. Sin embargo, si acciona los pulsadores con demasiada
fuerza, la voz de un pulsador que no se ha accionado también puede sonar.
• Al accionar un pulsador, también suenan otros pulsadores, aunque no hayan sido accionados.
→ Ajuste el nivel de sensibilidad a 1. Con este ajuste, será más difícil que suenen los pulsadores que no han sido
accionados. Sin embargo, si acciona dos pulsadores simultáneamente sin suficiente fuerza, es posible que no
suene uno de los pulsadores.
→ Ajustando el nivel de sensibilidad de los pulsadores a 0, todavía será más difícil que suenen los pulsadores que
no se accionan.
Procedimiento de ajuste
