I was looking at those pickups a while ago, and I

if it was the gk-2 or gk-3, but it didn't seem to have actual
midi output, it had a special format that interfaced with other
Roland hardware, so I passed. I think that the reason for the
special pickup was that it had separate transducers for each
string, but I think that the pitch conversion stuff happened in
the other gear. It was a couple months ago that I was reading
about it, so I may be a bit fuzzy.
Yeah, they require the synth module, unfortunately, you can't just plug the
Roland pickup into a MIDI IN on a sound card. THAT would be uber cool...
It looks like Intelliscore also does real-time conversion, so you can control a
MIDI with an analog instrument. Unfortunately, it only runs on Windows.
