Using the MIDI/Utility Mode
The MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals, located on the DD-50s right side panel, offer broad-
ened musical possibilities through use of MIDI. But, what is MIDI? What can you do with
MIDI? How can you use MIDI with the DD-50? Here are a few examples.

What you can do with MIDI
What is MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a world wide standard that
makes it possible for various electronic musical instruments and other devices, such as computers, to
“communicate” with each other. For example, by connecting a MIDI tone generator to the DD-50’s
MIDI OUT terminal, you can play the tone generator’s voices from the DD-50’s pads and pedals.
The DD-50 is equipped with two types of MIDI terminals, both are
located on the right side panel.
MIDI IN
Data transmitted from other MIDI instruments via MIDI, is re-
ceived at this terminal.
MIDI OUT
Data produced by the DD-50, is transmitted to other MIDI instru-
ments via MIDI from this terminal.
Use a MIDI cable (option), obtainable at your local music dealer, when making
MIDI connections.
Never use MIDI cables longer than 15 meters in length. (Cables longer than 15
meters can pick up noise which can cause data errors.)
Connect the DD-50s MIDI OUT jack to a MIDI keyboards
(or tone generators) MIDI IN jack.
This setup allows you to use the DD-50’s pads to control another
MIDI instrument. Playing the DD-50’s pads will result in the other
MIDI instrument’s voice sounding simultaneously, creating a
thicker overall sound.
Connect the DD-50s MIDI OUT jack to a MIDI sequenc-
ers MIDI IN terminal.
Data produced by the DD-50 (Key ON and Velocity data) can be
recorded to a MIDI sequencer. Data can also be recorded to com-
puters or other sequencers as well.
Connect the DD-50s MIDI IN terminal to a MIDI key-
boards MIDI OUT terminal.
In this setup the DD-50 can be used as a tone generator and its
voices can be played from a MIDI keyboard. Using a keyboard as a
controller, it is possible to play DD-50 voices that are not assigned
to the pads/pedals.
Connect the DD-50s MIDI IN terminal to a MIDI sequenc-
ers MIDI OUT terminal.
The sequencers data can be used to drive the DD-50’s sounds.
