Percussion Set

The DD-20 allows you to choose from ten
different Percussion Sets quickly and easily.
Nine Percussion Sets have preset voice combi-
nations. (See Percussion Set List on page 13.).
The DD-20 has one Custom Percussion Set
allowing you to combine any four of the DD-
20’s voices into a set. (See “Pad Assign” on
page 9.)

To select a Percussion Set:

1. Press the PERC. SET button to enter the

Percussion Set mode.

The current Percussion Set number appears in
the LED display.

You have approximately three seconds after
the PERC. SET button is released to start
selecting a Percussion Set before the DD-20
returns to the Auto Rhythm Style mode.

2. Press the PERC. SET button repeatedly or

turn the SELECTOR dial until the desired
Percussion Set number appears in the
LED display.

The Percussion Set numbers only cycle
forward when you press the PERC. SET
button.

The SELECTOR dial turns either clockwise
or counterclockwise and the Percussion Set
numbers cycle up or down accordingly.

Percussion Sets appear in the LED display as P0-
P9. P0 is the Custom Percussion Set and P1-P9
represent different combinations of four voices.

Percussion Set P1 is automatically selected when
the power is turned on.

To give you an idea of the DD-20’s sophisti-
cated capabilities, it comes with a demonstration
song.

To play back the demonstration
song:

1. Press the DEMO button.

2. To stop playback, press either the DEMO

button again or the START/STOP button.

You can begin playing the DD-20’s percussion
pads as soon as you turn the STANDBY/ON
switch on and adjust the volume to an appropri-
ate level.
