Dan. Thanks for the info. I'm relatively new to this stuff and my use-case ain't exactly conventional so forgive the 3rd degree......
But if I understand you correctly, you're saying that instead of having 6 dedicated/discrete outputs from a hexaphonic pickup, the pickups referenced in your email (the Shadow SH-075 and the Fishman Tripleplay) will essentially do the "routing" on the fly? Based on pitch? Are they smart enough to determine 440hz on a 5th-fretted low-E string vs an open A string? Also, wouldn't both the hardware (i.e the pickup used) as well as PD have to be smart enough to do this? Thanks.
