Playing a Song
2Set the Tempo.
When the Pad Light function is on, pads that sound during song playback light up. The pads also
light when they are struck.
Pad Light is also used with the Game function. When playing a Game Song, the pads light along
with the rhythm, indicating which pads are to be played.
1Press the [LIGHT ON/OFF] button.
2Try striking the pads.
Use the DIAL to select the TEMPO. Turn the DIAL to the right
(clockwise) to increase the Tempo value, and turn it to the left
(counter-clockwise) to decrease the value. (The Tempo range is 40 -
240.) To exit from the Tempo setting mode, press the [SONG] button,
or wait a second for the DD-35 to exit automatically.
When both the [SONG] and [TEMPO/TAP]
buttons are pressed simultaneously, the pre-
set tempo of the currently selected song is
automatically applied.
About the Beat Indicator
During song playback, the two beat lamps in
the display will flash in a specific pattern to help
you in keeping the beat.

Pad Light ON/OFF

When you press the [LIGHT ON/OFF] button, the current setting
(“on” or “oF” ) appears in the display. Press the [LIGHT ON/OFF]
button, repeatedly if necessary, until the desired setting is shown.
You can also determine the setting by using the dial while “ on” or “ oF
is indicated on the display.
When the Game function is used, Pad Light is automatically set to “ on.”
The played pad lights up.
Playing while looking at the lights for a long period of time may cause eye
strain and stiff neck/shoulders. For your health and comfort, we recommend
that you take a ten-minute break for every hour.
