PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual 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:

Power supply/Power cord

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.

• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

• Do not place the power 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 open

• 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 immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

• 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.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

If you notice any abnormality

• If the power 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 power switch,
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

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:

Power supply/Power cord Location

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used
for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.

(1)B-11 1/2

• 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 internal
components.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power
switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from
the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in
the instrument overheating.

Connections

• 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.

Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Handling caution

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel
or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.

• 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 use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing
loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.

Saving data

Saving and backing up your data

Main Features

Wide Variety of Registration Menus page 20

The Registration Menu buttons feature a total of 288 Registrations, allowing you to instantly set up the
DDK-7 for playing your favorite type of music. The Registrations in Registration Menu are divided into six
basic categories for ease of selection. Moreover, you can edit any of the Registrations and customize them to fit
your own performance needs.

Richly textured, four-layer AWM Voices and High Quality Digital
Effects

The DDK-7 contains a huge amount of exceptionally high-quality Voices – 415 altogether – created with the
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. The authentic touch response keyboard lets you
play these Voices with all the expressiveness and control of an actual acoustic instrument. What’s more, there
are 183 different effect types in 15 categories that you can apply to each Voice section —letting you enhance
and even completely change the character of the Voices, without having to use the Voice Edit features.

pages 24
and 52

Dynamic, Contemporary Rhythms and Auto Accompaniment page 60

The exceptionally of wide selection of 274 rhythms lets you choose exactly the rhythm you need in your
performance. Each rhythm contains 15 variations (sections) – such as Main, Fill In, Intro, Ending, and Break
– that you can easily switch while you play, to make your performance even more dynamic and professional.
Each rhythm has its own matching accompaniment divided into five instrument parts, providing basic
backing as well as embellishments.

Comprehensive input and output connectors ideal for live

page 223

performance

Since the DDK-7 is equipped with two types of AUX OUT jacks: MAIN and SUB, you can select outputs for
each part. This lets you add an external effect to a specific part, or adjust the volume balance among the parts
with an external mixer—allowing you to build up your own system and create just the sound you want.

Large, 6.5-inch TFT-LCD with Intuitive Touch Panel Operation page 13

This large LCD display not only lets you clearly see a wide selection of settings and parameters at almost any
angle, it also serves as a touch control panel — letting you intuitively make selections and adjust settings
simply by touching the screen! Once you touch a setting, you can even adjust it in finer detail if necessary with
the Data Control dial.

The DDK-7 is compatible with the following formats.

“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System
Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data
compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice
parameters, and integrated effect processing.

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha
specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over
Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major
enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations,
as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.

The Style File Format combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment know-how into a single
unified format.

Voices

The DDK-7 features hundreds of high quality Voices. Any of these Voices can be used on the
Upper Keyboard and Lower Keyboard. If you connect the Pedal Unit to the DDK-7, you can
use any of these voices also on the Pedalboard. Up to four Voice sections are available on
the Upper Keyboard for playing together in a layer, while the Lower Keyboard and
Pedalboard each have two Voice sections.

Pressing a Voice button once calls up the Voice Menu display. Pressing it a second
time calls up the Voice Condition display. Successive presses alternate between the
two displays.

When the Voice Condition display is shown, pressing [VOICE MENU] button on
the display also calls up the Voice Menu.
From the Voice Condition display, you can control Voice-related parameters such as
Pan, Effect, Volume, and so on. For more information on the Voice Condition
display, see page 41.

About the To Lower function

Voices selected for the Lead Voice 1, Pedal Voice 1, and Pedal Voice 2 sections can
also be played on the Lower Keyboard when the [TO LOWER] button in each
section is on. When [TO LOWER] is on, the Lead Voice and Pedal Voice cannot be
played on the Upper Keyboard and Pedalboard, respectively.
The To Lower function is not available in the Lead Voice 2 section.

•Pressing the Foot Pedal while holding down a key will not turn Solo on for
that key. Solo will active when the next key is played after pressing the Foot

The DDK-7 has an Organ Flutes feature that allows you to create your own organ Voices,
giving you access to an unlimited combination of organ sounds. With this function, you can
recreate all of the classic organ sounds by adjusting the flute footage levels and the
percussive sounds, just like on conventional organs. There are nine flute footage settings,
with three additional footage settings for the attack sound.

Press one of the Organ Flutes buttons (UPPER or LOWER).

Voice Controls and Effects

The DDK-7 is equipped with two general kinds of functions that can be used to change the
sound of the Voices: Voice Controls and Effects.
Each Voice has been given certain factory-preset effect settings to best enhance its sound.
However, if you wish, you can change the sound to suit your preferences by using the
controls and effects described in this section. All built-in effects are digital.
The chart below shows the various Voice controls and effects for the individual Voice
sections. Available functions are indicated by circles. The controls and effects are applied
differently according to the different types: independently for each Voice section,
independently for each keyboard or globally for the entire system.

Rhythm Structure

Each rhythm is made up of “sections.” Since each section is a rhythmic variation of
the basic rhythm, you can use them to add “spice” to your performance and mix up
the beats while you are playing. You can freely change the section while the rhythm
is played back.

INTRO

This is used for the beginning of the song. There are three Intro sections that can be
selected with INTRO [1] – [3] buttons. When the Intro finishes playing, the
rhythm automatically shifts to the Main section.

5

Rhythm/Keyboard Percussion

Selected Intro section’s lamp is lit

MAIN

This is used for playing the main part of the song. There are four Main sections that
can be selected with MAIN/FILL IN [A] – [D] buttons. The rhythm pattern of
several measures repeats indefinitely.

Selected Main section’s lamp is lit

FILL IN

This is designed for use as a temporary and regular rhythmic pattern to spice up a
repeating rhythm. There are four Fill In sections that can be played by pressing the
selected (lit) MAIN/FILL IN [A] – [D] buttons as desired. When one measure
pattern of Fill In finishes playing, the rhythm is automatically shifts to the Main
section.

ENDING

This is used for the ending of the song. There are three Ending sections that can be
selected with the ENDING [1] – [3] buttons. When the ending is finished, the
rhythm automatically stops.

ENDING

Pressing one of the ENDING [1] – [3] buttons automatically
adds an ending phrase before stopping the rhythm.

When you press the Ending button while rhythm is
playing back, the rhythm will automatically stop after the
ending phrase is played. You can have the ending gradually
slow down (ritardando) by pressing the ENDING button once again, while the ending
is playing.

To switch the rhythm sections:

You can change the rhythm section of the Main phrase by pressing the desired MAIN/
FILL IN [A] – [D] button. The selected section’s lamp (above the button) is lit.

To use the Fill In patterns:

As you play the DDK-7 along with the rhythm, occasionally press the selected MAIN/
FILL button as desired. The Fill In pattern (one measure) will be played and the
selected Fill In section’s lamp (above the button) flashes.

When you use the Auto Fill In function, Fill Ins will be played automatically. The Auto
Fill In function is set in the Rhythm Condition display.
Pressing the Rhythm button on the panel again (or pressing the rhythm name of the

– Auto Bass Chord (A.B.C.)

The Auto Bass Chord (A.B.C.) function works with the Rhythm section of the DDK-7
to automatically produce bass accompaniment as you play. It adds an entirely new
dimension to your performance by effectively putting a full backing band at your
disposal. There are three modes used for producing Automatic Accompaniment
patterns.
Before using the A.B.C. function, turn Pedal Poly off. If Pedal Poly is set to on, the bass
pattern of the A.B.C. will not sound.

SINGLE FINGER:

The Single Finger mode provides the fastest and easiest means to obtain many different
chord/bass combinations. You can produce major, minor, 7th, and minor 7th chords by
simply using one, or at most, two or three fingers to play the chords. The chord
produced will sound in the same octave regardless of where it is played on the Lower
keyboard.

Major chords:

Press the root of the chord (the note that corresponds to the chord’s

Cm

name).

Minor chords:

C7

Simultaneously press the root and any one black key to the left of it.

7th chords:

Simultaneously press the root and any one white key to the left of it.

Cm7

Playing single finger chords without the use of the rhythm lets you add full continuous
chords to your performance.

Minor 7th chords:

Simultaneously press the root as well as any black key and any white
key to the left of it.

FINGERED CHORD:

The Fingered Chord mode automatically produces bass accompaniment for chords
played in the Lower keyboard. It allows you to use a wider range of chord types than in
the Single Finger mode. In the Fingered Chord mode, you play full chords while the
Auto Bass Chord function automatically selects the appropriate bass pattern. If you play
only one or two notes in the Lower keyboard, the appropriate chord will sound on the
basis of the previously played chord.

NOTE

When playing certain chords
(aug, dim7, sus4, 6, and
m6), make sure to play the
root of the chord as the
lowest note in that chord.

CUSTOM A.B.C.:

The Custom A.B.C. mode is a slight variation on the Fingered Chord mode. It allows
you to determine what bass notes will be played in the accompaniment by playing a note
on the Pedalboard along with the chords you play in the Lower keyboard.

even after you release your foot from the Pedalboard, while the rhythm plays.
(In the Single Finger and Fingered modes:) When this is set to on, the bass
accompaniment of the Pedalboard Voices keeps playing even after you release your
fingers from the Lower keyboard.

When you start the rhythm with [SYNCHRO START] button, set the Lower/Pedal
Memory to on. When Memory is off, releasing your fingers from Lower keyboard stops
the rhythm.

you play on the Lower keyboard – or from the chords that are played for you, if you use
Automatic Accompaniment. Melody On Chord has three different modes, each
providing a different set of harmonics to accompany the melody played. Melody On
Chord can also be controlled with the Footpedal.

Registration Memory

Registration Memory allows you to store virtually all the settings you make on the panel and
LCD, providing a convenient way to instantly change all Voice settings and rhythms while
you’re playing, with the simple touch of a single button on the Registration Memory panel.
The buttons are conveniently located between the Upper and Lower keyboards for easy
access while playing. Moreover, you can also recall the settings using the right footswitch
on the Pedal Unit, or optional Foot Pedal. All Registrations in Registration Memory can also
be saved to a USB flash memory or other external media.

13 14 15 16 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 D

Various types of basic Registrations have been programmed to the numbered Registration
Memory buttons, 1 – 16. When you record your own Registration settings to a numbered
button, the preset Registration for that button will be overwritten and erased as a result.
When you initialize the Registration Memory (page 93), the preset settings will be recalled
and your own Registration setting(s) will be erased and replaced with the factory defaults.
