is conceptually linked to the use of different instruments. Therefore,
setting notes to different channels gives you a useful way to show
separate voices, whether the track has a forced channel or not.

MIDI Channels and the Fretboard

You can display notes on the fretboard based on the note eventÕs MIDI
channel. (Do not confuse this with the Track MIDI channel. A single
track can hold events on many different MIDI channels. See Chapter 3,
Assigning a MIDI Channel (Chn) for more information.) Displaying
notes using this method is 100% accurate because each string is repre-
sented by an individual MIDI channel. For example, String 1 = MIDI
channel 11, String 2 = MIDI channel 12, etc.
