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).
