i would imagine that as you know the output for the pickup for each
string, you can use it do do 'noise'-cancellation on the outputs for
the other strings. the same principle as noise-cancellation headphones
use

sorry, i haven't explained that very well, but can't think of better
words - ask if you want it explaining more


yes, I understand. Actually this guy, that is doing his own hexaphonic pickups and is doing what you say in software, says that it doesn't change very much (very last paragraph):

but maybe he's not doing it right... who knows... to the DSP-gurus: shouldn't this[1] be fairly easy and give good results?

[1]: subtracting from the signal of a string the signal of nearby strings, multiplied by appropiate coefficient
