DD-65/YDD-60 Owner’s Manual

A Yamaha UX16 or similar USB-MIDI interface (sold separately) will be necessary for MIDI

connection between the instrument and a USB equipped computer.

Make sure to purchase a Yamaha UX16 or a quality USB-MIDI interface at a musical instrument

store, computer store or electrical appliance store.

If you use the UX16 interface, install the driver supplied with the interface on your computer.

• When using a computer, special software (sequencer software) is needed.

Local Control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by its internal

tone generator system; the internal tone generator is active when local control is on, and inactive

when local control is off.

On (on)............ This is the normal setting in which notes played on the instrument’s keyboard are

sounded by the internal tone generator system. Data received via the instrument’s

MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator.

OFF (off)..........With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound (pad or pedal performance),

but the performance data is transmitted via the MIDI terminal. Data received via the

instrument’s MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator.

• Normally, this should be set to “on”—since you’ll want to hear the sound of the instrument as

you play it. However, for external sequencer applications, you may need to set this to “off” to

avoid getting “double” notes, in which the sounds of the instrument are played twice—once from

the pads and once again by the pad data routed through the sequencer.

1Enter the Local On/Off setting function.

2Turn Local On/Off.

3Press the [FUNCTION] button to exit from the

Local ON/OFF

Press the [FUNCTION] button once, then press the [DRUM 1] or

[DRUM 2] button a number of times until the “LCL” item appears.

After a while, the current On/Off status appears next to the “LCL”

indication.

Turn the DIAL clockwise to set to ON, and turn it counter-clockwise

to set it to OFF.

• Default setting is ON.

• Regardless of the Local ON/OFF setting, the instrument’s performance

data is always sent to the MIDI OUT terminals for transmission to external

MIDI devices.

• No sound comes from speakers when Local control is set to OFF.
