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.
