That sounds like a good idea, though I haven't bought any sort of MIDI guitar yet. Can you describe the difference in sound you get with monophonic vs polyphonic? Does it make the sound more accurately reflect what you were actually playing on the guitar?
This is pretty basic stuff, but it still worked well enough that I think it may be worth posting, for any ChucK addict with a hex pickup and hex/MIDI converter (yeah, maybe not that many) hasn't tried this yet.
Also to anyone is making polyponic synths: include an omni mode that supports this kind of setup!
So basically this is a simple polyphonic synth using a single BlitSaw for sound. It listen on six channels, treating each channel as its own mono synth, which suits the output from my Roland VG99 perfectly.
