Play the Pads/Pedals

The DD-55 contains a total of 212 high quality drum sounds (see the “Drum Voice List” page 33) —
and you can assign these freely to each of the 7 drum pads and 2 foot pedals. Try assigning some dif-
ferent voices and create your own “CU” Custom Drum Kit.
Any changes made to one of the preset drum kits will automatically be saved in
the “ CU” Custom Drum Kit.
Both the Custom and “00” drum kit contents are the same until modified (see
the “Drum Kit List” page 36).

Assigning a Voice to Individual Pads and Pedals (“CU” Custom Kit)
When you press the [PAD] button, Pad 1’s currently assigned voice
number is shown in the display.
Strike any pad one time (or press a pedal), and the currently assigned
voice number for that pad/pedal is shown in the display.
You can select the voice by repeatedly striking the pad or repeatedly
pressing the pedal (while listening to the voice), or by turning the
DIAL.
Striking the pad or pressing the pedal to select a voice.
Every time the pad is struck or a pedal is pressed, voice numbers will
increase by a value of one (1).
Using the DIAL to select a voice.
Turn the DIAL to the right (clockwise), and voice numbers will
increase. Turn the DIAL to the left (counter-clockwise), and voice
numbers will decrease.
Repeat the previous steps 2 and 3 for any or all of the DD-55’s pads
and pedals.
After assigning a voice to the desired pad/pedal, press the [KIT] but-
ton. You can now play the voice you have assigned to the pad/pedal.
After you’ve assigned the voice, the DD-55 will automatically be set to
the custom kit.
