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

Those devices I mentioned are not merely pickups, they are little embedded
computers that calculate the pitch tracking for you and send midi note and ctl

with your guitar. They only output midi, no audio. You use the
