Main Features

Wide Variety of Registration Menus
The Registration Menu buttons feature a total of 288 Registrations, allowing you to instantly set up the
DDK-7 for playing your favorite type of music. The Registrations in Registration Menu are divided into six
basic categories for ease of selection. Moreover, you can edit any of the Registrations and customize them to fit
your own performance needs.
Richly textured, four-layer AWM Voices and High Quality Digital
Effects
The DDK-7 contains a huge amount of exceptionally high-quality Voices – 415 altogether – created with the
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. The authentic touch response keyboard lets you
play these Voices with all the expressiveness and control of an actual acoustic instrument. What's more, there
are 183 different effect types in 15 categories that you can apply to each Voice section —letting you enhance
and even completely change the character of the Voices, without having to use the Voice Edit features.
Dynamic, Contemporary Rhythms and Auto Accompaniment
The exceptionally of wide selection of 274 rhythms lets you choose exactly the rhythm you need in your
performance. Each rhythm contains 15 variations (sections) – such as Main, Fill In, Intro, Ending, and Break
– that you can easily switch while you play, to make your performance even more dynamic and professional.
Each rhythm has its own matching accompaniment divided into five instrument parts, providing basic
backing as well as embellishments.
Comprehensive input and output connectors ideal for live
performance
Since the DDK-7 is equipped with two types of AUX OUT jacks: MAIN and SUB, you can select outputs for
each part. This lets you add an external effect to a specific part, or adjust the volume balance among the parts
with an external mixer—allowing you to build up your own system and create just the sound you want.
Large, 6.5-inch TFT-LCD with Intuitive Touch Panel Operation
This large LCD display not only lets you clearly see a wide selection of settings and parameters at almost any
angle, it also serves as a touch control panel — letting you intuitively make selections and adjust settings
simply by touching the screen! Once you touch a setting, you can even adjust it in finer detail if necessary with
the Data Control dial.
