Common Mode (COM)
In Common mode, all of the strings of your guitar are assigned to the MIDI basic
channel. To prevent conflicts with notes still sounding on the same channel, no pitchbend information is sent
when more than one note is being played in this mode. Solo playing is therefore possible with some restric-
ode in this case.
de, a separate MIDI channel is reserved for each string of your guitar
(see Global Parameters). This mode provides the greatest possible flexibility. Pitchbend effects such as bend-
ing, hammer-on and sliding only affect the channel of the string being played. These techniques can thus be
applied without restrictions. Virtually all current MIDI instruments support multiple channels, so choose this
mode whenever possible.

a chord while pressing the hold switch and release the hold switch. The chord will
now be played continuously and you can continue playing on the normal channels. When you press the hold
switch again, all sounds being played at that moment will be stopped and you can play another chord. To
