Assigning a Drum Kit to the Pads and Pedals
Play the Pads/Pedals
The DD-50 allows you to choose from 20 different Drum Kits (00-19 : see the “Drum Kit List”
page 24) quickly and easily. 20 of the kits have preset voice combinations that will be set to the pads
and pedals when the kit is selected. Select some different kits and try playing them.
The DD-50 also has one Custom Drum Kit allowing you to assign the desired voices to the seven
pads or two pedals (see “Assigning a Voice to Individual Pads and Pedals” below).

Turn the DIAL to select a Drum Kit number. Drum Kit numbers will
increase as the DIAL is turned to the right (clockwise), and decrease as
the DIAL is turned to the left (counter-clockwise).
• Drum Kit number 00 is normally selected when the power is turned ON. How-
ever, if Auto Kit Select is set to OFF, the last Drum Kit selected before turning the
power OFF, is automatically selected when the power is turned ON. (See “Auto
Kit Select ON/OFF Setting” on page 11)
• The “CU” Drum Kit is the Custom Kit. Changes made to any one of the preset
drum kits will be saved here. (See “Assigning a Voice to Individual Pads and
Pedals” below.)
Assigning a Voice to Individual Pads and Pedals
(“CU” Custom Kit)
The DD-50 contains a total of 75 high quality drum sounds (see the “Drum Voice List” page 23)
that can be assigned to each of the 7 drum pads and 2 foot pedals. Try assigning some different voices
to the “CU” Custom Drum Kit.
• Any change made to one of the preset drum kits will automatically be saved in the
“CU” Custom Drum Kit.
• Both the Custom and “00” drum kit contents are the same until modified (see the
“Drum Kit List” page 24).
