MIDI Functions

Simultaneously press the [DEMO] and [START/STOP] button to enter the MIDI/Utility mode.  An 
“mm” appears in the display indicating the MIDI/Utility mode.

   

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 

Enter/Exit the MIDI/Utility Mode

To exit the MIDI mode, once again simultaneously press the [DEMO] 
and [START/STOP] buttons.  The DD-55 exits from the MIDI mode 
and returns to the normal play mode.

Setting the Clock

After entering the MIDI/Utility mode, press the [DRUM 1] button to 
see the current setting for the MIDI clock.

To set the clock to “I” (external), turn the DIAL to the right (clock-
wise). To set the clock to “E” (internal), turn the DIAL to the left 
(counter-clockwise).

After the clock is set, exit the MIDI/Utility mode.

• The default MIDI clock setting is “I” (internal).
