I was looking at those pickups a while ago, and I can't remember
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.

There are guitar pickups that can do that, like the Roland GK-2 and GK-3
series. There are also wind and voice controllers also! Again, these are
all hardware based. You've got your work cut out for you if you want to do
this in software -- but we have software-based guitar tuners, so...
