Congratulations!
... оп your purchase of a Yamaha 00-12 Digital Percussion unit. The DD-12 is a portable electronic percussion unit
packed with features that make it fun and exciting to play, whether you use it as a practice drum set or an instrument in
its own right. These features include:
@ Seventy-five PCM instrument sounds
The DD-12 has 65 real-sounding percussion sounds and
sound effects which you can assign to any of the eight
velocity-sensitive percussion pads or the foot pedal, plus ten
melody percussion voices which you can assign to the pads
to play tunes along with the Auto Accompaniment.
Ө Thirty percussion sets
The instruments are grouped into thirty percussion sets that
make it easy to select the right instruments for the music
you're playing. There are even five user areas that you can
use to save your own customized percussion sets.
© Automatic rhythm response
A handy Auto Roll function automatically plays smooth rolls,
flams, and echoes that will dress up your performance.
© Super Session Player
The Super Session Player function will respond to the notes
you play with unpredictable sounds and phrases. You'll have
lots of fun dueling with the DD-12 in ad-lib jam sessions!
@ Nine scraper instruments
The DD-12 also features a scraper which can play any of
nine different PCM sounds, from an auto harp to a multi
drum, to a guiro, or guitar.
€ Automatic rhythm section with 100 styles
The DD-12 has an automatic rhythm section which plays one
hundred different rhythm styles, complete with intros,
endings, and fill-ins. In addition, an Auto Bass Chord
function provides a bass line and rhythmic chords matching
the rhythm style you select.
© Tap Start function
You can start the automatic rhythm section playing at the
desired tempo with a four count using the convenient Tap
Start Function.
© Three-song Chord Memory
You can combine the automatic rhythm section and Auto
Bass Chord functions by playing chord sequences that the
DD-12 will remember as songs. You can use the Chord
Memory feature DD-12 to record up to three songs, then play
along with them on the percussion pads when you play them
back.
