Rhythm Program

With the Rhythm Sequence Program function, you can string together any of the 
DDK-7’s existing rhythms and the rhythms of your own creation together to make 
complete rhythm compositions.
You can save four rhythm compositions (each can contain up to 140 bars) to the 
Sequence buttons on the panel for future recall. Two or more rhythm compositions can 
be played back in succession, letting you divide a song into parts and play back the 
rhythm data as desired. Here are a couple of example applications:

• When you want to play more than two songs in a medley, save the rhythm 

composition for each song to a separate sequence button. You can then recall each 
desired song by simply pressing the corresponding sequence button to which the 
song is saved.

• When you want to practice a song in separate sections (for example, separately 

practicing the verse, chorus and bridge), divide the song into the relevant parts. 
For example, save the intro part to the [SEQ. 1] button, the main chorus part to the 
[SEQ. 2] button, the ending to the [SEQ. 3] button, and so on. Then, recall the 
desired part simply by pressing the appropriate sequence button. You can also play 
through a song by recalling all the parts in sequence.

There are two ways to program a rhythm sequence: copying an existing sequence that is 
similar to the sequence you want to create, or creating your own sequence from scratch.

Any rhythm currently playing will automatically be stopped when you call up 
the Rhythm Sequence Program function.
