Roland TD-50KVX MIDI Implementation

Model: TD-50 Date: Apr. 13. 2021

MIDI Implementation

* In this implementation, the order in which the TD-50’s buttons should be pressed is indicated in the following way. For example, [KIT]–[MENU]–[MIDI CH] means “press the [KIT]

button, then press the [MENU] button, then press the PAGE [DOWN] button to access the page 4 (KIT PAD MIDI), and then press the [MIDI CH] button.” The KIT MENU screen consists of the four pages “KIT SETTINGS, “KIT SETTINGS 2,” “KITPAD CTRL,” and “KIT PAD MIDI”; you can switch between these four pages by pressing the PAGE [UP] [DOWN] buttons. For details, refer to the TD-50 owner ’s manual (Quick Start).

* The “Data List” referred to in this document can be obtained via the Roland website.
