Why not just assign the zones for each string to its own octave 
on the keyboard as well as their own group? Each group can be 
set to playback only one voice. 

A cool feature idea: if you play two notes assigned to the same 
string (octave/group) and the higher note is more than a minor 
third higher, that note would automatically be triggered using the 
next highest string (or vice versa if you are playing from one of 
the higher octaves. This could actuate playing in a specific finger 
postiions on the fretboard. So, let's say that you're pedalling an 
"A" on the low "E" string (fifth fret), if you play a C# or D, it is the 
"A" string that would be triggered. 

In practical implementation terms I think this means that when a 
2nd note is triggered within a monphonic group, a note in the 
next highest/lowest group would be triggered.
