Flashes at the beginning of each measure.

In the PLAY mode, the TEMPO indicator [#3] gives a visual indication of the tempo.

In the WRITE mode, the TEMPO indicator [#3] indicates the point where loading can begin,
and after loading the correct number of steps (12 or 16), it comes on again to indicate that
loading is complete.

[#4] TONE Control
Controls the tone color of the percussion sounds.

[#5] ACCENT Control
Controls the dynamic range of the rhythm patterns. At MIN, the programmed accents will be weak;
at MAX, strong. If accents are not programmed, this control has no effect on the sound.

[#6] HI HAT Switch
This switch is for adding the hi hat sound to the programmed pattern. At OFF, there is no hi hat sound.
At "8", the hi hat sound will occur eight times per measure. At "12/16", the hi hat will occur twelve times
per measure in the 12-beat rhythm and sixteen times for the 16-beat rhythm.

[#7] VARIATION Switch
For each position of RHYTHM SELECT [#10] it is possible to load two rhythm patterns: "A" and "B".
In other words, using the "A" and "B" variations and the eight positions of RHYTHM SELECT [#10],
it is possible to load sixteen separate rhythm patterns.

In the PLAY mode:
At "A" or "B", the "A" and "B" variations are produced. At "AB", the "A" and "B"
patterns are played one after the other in series: A, B. A, B, etc.

In the WRITE mode:
The VARIATION switch [#7] determines which variation memory ("A" or "B")
the pattern will enter when loaded. At "AB", two measures can be loaded in series.

[#8] MODE Switch
Determines whether the DR-55 is in the PLAY mode or WRITE mode. When not actually
programming rhythm patterns, this switch should always be left in the PLAY mode position
to prevent accidental erasure of rhythm patterns.

[#9] SOUND Switch
Used to select sounds and accent when programming rhythm patterns.
BD=bass drum; SD=snare drum;A RS = rim shot; AC = accent

[#10] RHYTHM SELECT
In PLAY mode, determines which rhythm will be played.
In WRITE mode, determines where the rhythm will be written.

[#11] START Button
[#12] STOP Button
In the PLAY mode, these buttons control the start and stop of the rhythm patterns.
Pressing START will always start the rhythm from the beginning of the measure.
When the rhythm is not running, the STOP button [#12] can be used to return the
rhythm sequence to the first beat in the measure.

In the WRITE mode, these buttons are used to load the sound selected with the
SOUND switch [#9] The rhythm is loaded one step at a time. Press [#11] for those
steps where the sound is to occur and press [#12] where no sound is to occur.

[#13] FOOT SWITCH Jack
