- Its page says each bending string uses its own MIDI channel to avoid pulling other strings out of tune.
Field notes
The page describes separate backup behavior across the two editing contexts: the plugin offers optional .n4d autosave and 20 rotating backups, while the browser saves locally every five minutes during editing. Collaboration controls are described per person, including viewer access and whether someone can save a copy or export. The site says the browser account syncs edits; plugin use is described as offline.
