The DD-10 was used by the band Model Plants (look up "モデルプランツ「普通の恋の結末」"). It's based on the YM3301 RYP6 or YM3302 RYP6-2 IC, which is also used in the PSS-560, PSS-570 and a few other things. It uses very low quality versions of the samples from the Yamaha RX series drum machines. I actually like these sounds better than the RX series. The sounds are also possibly identical to the ones in the YM2608 OPNA sound chip, which was used in the NEC PC-8801/PC-9801 series computers (although this IC only has 6 sounds). The YM2608 is described in the datasheet as using ADPCM drum sounds. Likely the YM3301/YM3302 also use ADPCM, which may account for some of the grit. The sounds are also sampled at either 18.645 or 9.3225 kHz, which is considerably lower than the 25 kHz sample rate used in most of the RX series.
Which RX? I have this and an RX7 and none of the sounds are the same. This actually uses the same sound but pitch shifted like the claves, agogos and cowbell are all the same sound same with the cymbals or snares
These videos make my lunch break every Friday much better! I appreciate how you take advantage of the connectivity of the instruments you find. It really raises them to another level.
Found one of these for $10 bucks at a yard sale. It's turned into one of my favorite drum machines. I typically run mine through a cheap JOYO phaser pedal.
Your videos are giving me life through the pandemic. You got an Aphex twin breakdown with that post-jungle jam! VERY COOL! Here I thought I was crazy for sequencing my DD-50 with a model:samples. But you made me feel valid. Gotta have those dirty drums
Wow, I’ve actually been looking for one of these for a while now. I hope this video doesn’t drive the prices up too much : ) Awesome show as usual, I never miss an episode.
I just wanted to say you are one of the few subscribers I find myself checking in often with to see what you post and I haven't been disappointed yet. I enjoy the tunes you make with the instruments at the beginning of videos and the humor and editing and work you put in. Hope your channel blows up.
My parents bought me this one when I was 16 and I still keep it! Back then I liked the DD-5 as its big pads could be played with sticks, but finally I chose the DD-10 as it can record and store 2 user programmed patterns. Years after I realized the DD-10 lacks a MIDI Output so you can't play its pads and get the sound from another instrument! I regret not getting the DD-5 instead, which does have MIDI Out and could be useful today. I just was dragged by its sequencer when I still had no computer with MIDI capabilities. My favorite sound is the 'Castagnet' (white kit, pad 6) which can add nice low end to a regular kickdrum. I never expected the DD-10 to appear on your channel. This IS real bad gear!
I got one of these for xmas when I was about 9 or 10, so this is real childhood nostalgia for me. I fancy getting into electronica, so I should dig it out again!
Excellent, I got mine years ago for circuit bending, I repaired it all but button 0, then my daughter claimed it 4 years ago and it lives in our living room with fresh batteries for random jams along side a pss-780 keyboard.
Yamaha has made some nice kids toys that can be used professionally, like the SHS-10 keytar. I find the DD-10 very limited, but in the toy category I find the DD-5 a usable electronic Midi drumkit.
Shawn Lee used the DD-5 on an album we made last year, it’s on Legere Records, it’s called Shawn Lee’s Incredible Leg Warmer Band “The 37 Minute Workout”....a tribute to the early 80s Dance Aerobics records. I bought a DD-5 recently and was like...where do I know that pattern from? Oh yeah! Shawn Lee!
I really despise seeing people destroy working hardware for entertainment "because it sucks". in the right hands, anything can turn to gold... you are the living proof of that...
Hi there, my younger brother owned the DD-5 from Yamaha and I had a Korg DDD-5 - very confusing at times. However I used both with my DX-100 and a pair of SHS Keytars. I was lucky as later in life I got to work teaching music and had two TR-808s available for me to use. The best thing about the Yamaha DD-5 though was the shoulder strap which I "borrowed" for my Keytars (it was much sturdier than the one I got with the ketboard) Another great nostalgia video, thanks.
You should do a Kaossilator [PRO] episode. It's so close to being very cool, but always falls short. If only it had midi sync... Still the original has the best design.

@@Plexyglazz Both machines came out at the same time....more or less as a part of the Portasound keyboard series. They were available in 1988 already (together with stuff like the PSS-680 etc.).

I think the DD10 is great! I had a later Yamaha drum pad thing with only preset drum patterns, no midi (it had blue pads). Sound was more hifi than this, but I think the DD10 sounds better. Gotta love the footpedal thingys too. Always love the bad gear reviews, always good dry and witty humour!

Hey this is cool. I have a vintage Yamaha DD-55 in mint condition. It’s a digital percussion with 7 pads from small to large (5 inch). It can be played with ordinary Vic virth drumsticks and there are banks init for hand percussion. It has General Midi, two pedals, headphone output and line out, MIDI IN and OUT and very loud built in speakers with dedicated amplification. It’s a very cool drum device with actually pretty good sounds! I’ve bought it a couple years ago and I’m still using this old device once and a while. The pads are sensitive and really good responsive when using drumsticks. Just look it up at Google. Yamaha DD-55 it is.
I have a DD-5 that came with drum sticks stored on the bottom of the machine. The four drum pads require a fairly hard hit so sticks are necessary to get sound without bruising your fingers.
I used to have a DD-5 which was released the following year in 1989. Better quality samples but just 12 of them, only 30 built in rhythms, no programmable sequencer, no MIDI In, but it did have MIDI Out and four proper velocity sensitive drum pads. Although that's velocity sensitive in the 80s Yamaha meaning of the word - max velocity was 100.
Ohhh the feels - the DD-10 was my first "drum kit". My parents also bought me the version with larger pads for sticks, the DD-12. Now I have to search them =)
The DD5 (May 1988) and the DD10 (April 1988) were indeed the first wave of "DDs". I suspect it may be a repackage of tech already found in the low end of the RX line of drum machines or from the ED10/ED20 line
I can't say for certain, but I do remember back at the time this was released I was HEAVILY monitoring stuff coming out and at University studying audio engineering. And to me, I clearly remember this is the first time I saw the DD-prefix. That's as good as I can say.
@@AudioPilz Yeah, it's especially bad not just from some of the stuff that JUST is in that spot of pre-internet so very little is posted about it, but when it's generally crappy gear, nobody seems to want to post about it, so it can be a pain.

Awesome as alyways! But hey! Admit that the idea for the show was to make money with the old gear. Buying it cheap - building hype- selling it at very high overhype price! Good idea!! Love your show!!!
I found a Yamaha DD-55 the other day at Value Village (a second-hand/thrift store here in Canada and the US) for only $12 (canadian dollars) - I wasn't very familiar with the thing, but upon seeing it had a midi out port, I scooped it up immediately. The thing was in the toy section. It seems to work great, aside from the numeric display.
5:50 who's that? I think 8-bit is about a fair assessment, from the amount of quantisation noise. It's just very bad sampling, very aliased. I'd probably prefer 1-bit DPCM to this with 4-bit expansion. I had a bad feeling at first when hearing the drum machine in the intro, but you made the best of it.
I remember I used the DD-10 in a dungeon synth track on a compilation album called The Green Goblet, it and the Casio Sa 10 and it was surprisingly well. Maybe chiptune musicians would find it useful
How in the hell did I miss this masterpiece. Every once in a while I find one I didn't see, and this one does not disappoint. that thing sounds insane. I'm sure there are some circuit bent machines that have separate out and pitch blah blah things going on. that jam you made was killer. perfect for the babysitter to play for the kids while mommy and daddy are out to the drive in theatre, so when the come home the little tykes are in a coma from slam dancing all night.
@@AudioPilz yesss there are differences between them and menu diving, ram, sampling software for pc, one has a big lcd screen the other one don't, but has better ram, the 808 has motorized faders but less knobs etc, feel free to categorize as better gear or bad gear lol. Thanks for your amazing job. Your show should win an emmy.
Picked one of these up recently coz I've always been a sucker for naff toy drum machines. Really like it as a crunchy conga/cowbell loop under a "proper" drum kit, or as like a really cheesy but unobtrusive old organ drum machine rhythm thing.
Fab Florian, as always. Not sure you have considered (ripped to pieces yet) other Yamahahaha gear like the MR10 drums, CS-01 (love mine couldn't stretch to a CS80), the very poorman's KX-5 the SHS-10 (loving the last Christmas by Wham demo) or if you like drum pads with your keys there's the noisy PSS-780. Finally the king of samplers the Yamahahaha VSS-100, move over Fairlight!
Holy shit your content is god tier as always my dude, I have no clue how you pump out episodes so regularly with the amount of thought and editing that goes into these bad boys. You should do a mini series where you explore the world of shitty guitar pedals, call it "Ill Effects" or something more thought out.
its a boomboombox! I wish I had this as a kid, I got the kawasaki (Big Boom Bam!) instead lol. It looked like a big canon thing you would sling over your sholder and play it like a drumtar and it had 4, non-velocity sensitive pads, each triggering a 1shot sample, on the side was a row of pattern presets, a yellow 1shot boom! button, a volume dial and a speed dial. No cool midi or sequencer features but it still influenced me into loving music.
Pilz, that Yamaha machine seemed pretty sketch, but you made it sound really good. The drill n bass killed it and somehow, some way, you created a song where the DD-10 sounded perfect for it. Tbh it still seems like an outdated toy to me and I have no plans to get one. I’ve been producing edm for almost a year now. The way you can get such bangers in hella different genres, using very eccentric and, well, bad gear.... it blows my mind. I wanna get there and I practice in many genres so I get the xp of the styles. Anyways, thank you for another great video.
I think the edrum thing I borrowed as a teen in the late 90s was a dd-50?! Looked like the newer version that you showed. It had songs to play along to but no sequencer ... I was sooo disappointed about not being a tool to create full blown 90s Eurodance songs on it ... I gave it back after a few months and bought a Yamaha DJX IIB as you’ve reviewed here. Hahaha if only anyone in Germany knew about MPCs back then. My life would have been different :) ;)

Awesome as alyways! But hey! Admit that the idea for the show was to make money with the old gear. Buying it cheap - building hype- selling it at very high overhype price! Good idea!!
Love your show!!!
Thanks! That's part of the Audiopilz business model;)
Wow. I knew someone that had one of these back in the day. We had quite a lot of fun with it.
Yeah, that's a fun little box
Love jamming out to your theme song on Fridays :D
Thanks for jamming out! ;)
This is like going back to my teens and thinking 'Oooow this sounds.. erm.... unique!'
Lol, "unique" hits the nail on the head
I found a Yamaha DD-55 the other day at Value Village (a second-hand/thrift store here in Canada and the US) for only $12 (canadian dollars) - I wasn't very familiar with the thing, but upon seeing it had a midi out port, I scooped it up immediately. The thing was in the toy section. It seems to work great, aside from the numeric display.
Nice find!
definitely some cool lo-fi sounds (although limited) but i think samples > the real thing in this case, thanks for making another great video!
Thanks for watching!
I laughed hard at Beatar!
Thanks! Did this word already exist?
Drumulele it should be
@@AudioPilz this is what/who I found th-cam.com/video/i8e0Ed_kt4U/w-d-xo.html
5:50 who's that?
I think 8-bit is about a fair assessment, from the amount of quantisation noise. It's just very bad sampling, very aliased. I'd probably prefer 1-bit DPCM to this with 4-bit expansion.
I had a bad feeling at first when hearing the drum machine in the intro, but you made the best of it.
Some girl playing the DD-10 very passionately in a very early YT video. I like her enthusiasm. Thanks!
@@AudioPilz Ah ok, apparently her name is Ayako Shinada and she's in a band called "Mig" which plays junk instruments.
The intro was rather bad but it worked in other applications
I remember I used the DD-10 in a dungeon synth track on a compilation album called The Green Goblet, it and the Casio Sa 10 and it was surprisingly well. Maybe chiptune musicians would find it useful
Yeah, this channel is extremely under-casioed!
How in the hell did I miss this masterpiece. Every once in a while I find one I didn't see, and this one does not disappoint. that thing sounds insane. I'm sure there are some circuit bent machines that have separate out and pitch blah blah things going on. that jam you made was killer. perfect for the babysitter to play for the kids while mommy and daddy are out to the drive in theatre, so when the come home the little tykes are in a coma from slam dancing all night.
Ah dude! So glad you posted on this! My DD-10 is so great and I’m trying to find a way to be able to use it as a controller 😳
Controller use might be difficult as there is no midi out. The successors might be more suited for this application
Great video! Off-topic: Rolands Tr-909 godly Hi-Hat and Ride are 6-bit.
Thanks! True that!
Excelent show as usual. Keep up the good work. Please make a review of roland mc 808 and 909 groove boxes.
Thanks! MC303 and many MC505 derivates on the channel. Is there any hate for the 808 and 909 out there?
@@AudioPilz yesss there are differences between them and menu diving, ram, sampling software for pc, one has a big lcd screen the other one don't, but has better ram, the 808 has motorized faders but less knobs etc, feel free to categorize as better gear or bad gear lol. Thanks for your amazing job. Your show should win an emmy.
I most indubidably enjoyed that last jungle tune you played! Yeah.. thats the good stuff right THERE!
Thanks!
@@AudioPilz most welcome! Would you by chance have a link to that song? I have a feeling you uploaded that full recording somewhere.
@@pianokeyjoe nope, just the fragment. Working on the full releases
@@AudioPilz Ah! Ok then! I will be very interested in listening to the full songs you play!
Thw woeful Yamaha TX16W sampler deserves your attention!
Haven't seen one of those for quite some time
reminds me a bit of my Yamaha PSR Keyboard that I used as "drummer" and for basslines for my first Punk tapes when i was a kid :D
th-cam.com/video/Ofn2A1p13Sg/w-d-xo.html
Picked one of these up recently coz I've always been a sucker for naff toy drum machines. Really like it as a crunchy conga/cowbell loop under a "proper" drum kit, or as like a really cheesy but unobtrusive old organ drum machine rhythm thing.
Yeah, works great with other, more modern stuff
Fab Florian, as always. Not sure you have considered (ripped to pieces yet) other Yamahahaha gear like the MR10 drums, CS-01 (love mine couldn't stretch to a CS80), the very poorman's KX-5 the SHS-10 (loving the last Christmas by Wham demo) or if you like drum pads with your keys there's the noisy PSS-780. Finally the king of samplers the Yamahahaha VSS-100, move over Fairlight!
Great input! Thanks!
“As can be found on bedroom producers’ blog” lmao
Credit where credit is due
Holy shit your content is god tier as always my dude, I have no clue how you pump out episodes so regularly with the amount of thought and editing that goes into these bad boys. You should do a mini series where you explore the world of shitty guitar pedals, call it "Ill Effects" or something more thought out.
Thanks! Love pedals, got too many of them ;)
Still have mine, was my main drum unit back in the day till i got my 606 and 909.
That was quite an update ;)
@@AudioPilz yeah it was.... 👍😁
Also that alternate universe footage of you from the mirror mirror universe destroying that poor little instrument was scary!
I had to leave...
That cowbell sample was massive! 😁
The Wagyu Cowbell!
That jam at 5:09 was really cool!
Thanks!
The cowbell. The cow. We are dealing with genius here people.
There's a reason why cows are worshipped in some cultures
not familiar with the DD.. but an RY-30/50 is SO FUN. have a love for old Yammy gear
There's a universe of old Yamaha gear out there. Fascinating company
I've seen some pretty sick circuit-bent DD-10s. These are fun to play with.
True. Some cool bends out there!
you rock man on all types of levels one of my fav chans on YT
AudioPilz
Thank you so much!
its a boomboombox!
I wish I had this as a kid, I got the kawasaki (Big Boom Bam!) instead lol. It looked like a big canon thing you would sling over your sholder and play it like a drumtar and it had 4, non-velocity sensitive pads, each triggering a 1shot sample, on the side was a row of pattern presets, a yellow 1shot boom! button, a volume dial and a speed dial. No cool midi or sequencer features but it still influenced me into loving music.
Boom!
The cowbell causes me physical pain...
It's...erm...special...
Need MOAR Cowbell! Nice tool for Circuit bending, have you tried to kill it with midi signals (just Sen to much data to it)?
@@AudioPilz - Unique is a good word for being nice to something a bit crappy!
Cowbell is a human right! Cowbell hating should be punished by everlasting torture by the next UN resolution ;)
You’re a master at showcasing gear.
Thank you so much!
Rate mal , wen ich in der neuen Ausgabe der ,,Beat,, entdeckt habe =P Geile Folge , wie immer .Danke
Hab noch gar nicht reingeschaut! Danke!
Pilz, that Yamaha machine seemed pretty sketch, but you made it sound really good. The drill n bass killed it and somehow, some way, you created a song where the DD-10 sounded perfect for it. Tbh it still seems like an outdated toy to me and I have no plans to get one.
I’ve been producing edm for almost a year now. The way you can get such bangers in hella different genres, using very eccentric and, well, bad gear.... it blows my mind. I wanna get there and I practice in many genres so I get the xp of the styles.
Anyways, thank you for another great video.
Thank you so much!
Geiles Teil, der kleine dd10, klingt realistischer als Superior Drummer ☺️🤟🤟🤟Rockit
HUGE Woody Woodpecker fan. THANK YOU for that.
Always a pleasure! Thanks for watching!
I think the edrum thing I borrowed as a teen in the late 90s was a dd-50?! Looked like the newer version that you showed.
It had songs to play along to but no sequencer ... I was sooo disappointed about not being a tool to create full blown 90s Eurodance songs on it ... I gave it back after a few months and bought a Yamaha DJX IIB as you’ve reviewed here. Hahaha if only anyone in Germany knew about MPCs back then. My life would have been different :) ;)
Yeah, it's funny that MPCs seemed to take a little longer to take off in German speaking regions
