The Mustang pro sends the note played on each string through a separate MIDI channel 1 to 6 , so it was a matter of intercepting the MIDI signals and re-routing channels 2 to 4 to channel 1.
The apps that actually played the instruments were told to listen in channel 1, so that the notes played on strings 5 and 6 did not get listened to, and therefore no sound was made for them. In all cases, the Mustang pro performed like a champ, with no latency whatsoever and hardly any dropped notes.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was some velocity information included in the MIDI stream, so that strumming light or hard made a difference to the sound. On the other hand, the Mustang pro is not re-configurable at all, while the DU-one is. The Mustang pro has two buttons to go an octave up or down. This is a lot less useful than, going up or down a semitone, which would function as a capo. Unfortunately, the function is implemented within the device itself rather than as a MIDI control message, so there is no way to make those buttons do something else.
Better not to activate that function. On the other hand, you can simply put a capo over the buttons just like you would on a regular guitar, and the result is the same. The DU-one is also wireless, which the Mustang pro is not, or at least is not in an easily usable way.
