Play along with a Song
Use the pads and pedals to play along with the song accompaniment.
• The DD-55 can play a total of 32 notes simultaneously. That includes notes pro-
duced by song accompaniment, pads, foot pedals, and note data received
through the MIDI IN jack.
The DD-55’s song accompaniment consists of 4 tracks: Drum tracks 1, 2, and 3, and the Backing
track.
Pressing a Track button ([DRUM 1], [DRUM 2], [DRUM 3],
[BACKING]) will mute (turn off the sound) the corresponding track
and its indicator lamp will turn off.
Muting DRUM 1, DRUM 2 and DRUM 3 tracks allows you to play
along with the song and practice the missing part.
With the Break function, you can liven up songs by adding your own solos or fills, whenever you
want.
Striking a pad while in the Break mode, the song’s accompaniment will be muted until the end of the
measure you have finished your fill or solo in.
