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.

Pitch to midi guitar systems have been around since the mid 80s. If the OP only needs control data, there's no need to bring a dedicated computer and multiple channel sound card into the equation. I use a Shadow SH-075https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzsaZe2zQV4 which was built in W. Germany (!) in the late 80's I bought off of eBay and it's tracking speed is definitely acceptable, at least for what I do. There is a new guy on the block, the Fishman Tripleplayhttp://www.fishman.com/tripleplay which I'd like to upgrade to as it's standard USB midi so will work with PdParty and my iPad. Both of these are relatively small as compared the Roland's rack mount and stomp box offerings (why don't they shrink the GR stuff by now?).
Just saying that not every nail needs the PD hammer. Forgive me if my understanding of the original question was wrong.

You could also get a sound card with 6 analog inputs and connect each output of the microphone to an individual channel. This way you can do 6 at a time.
