Well, sure! If you're asking for a circuit to pick apart a guitar 
chord and analyze it, you're dreaming. The point of the comparator 
circuit I spoke of is precisely to get rid of the harmonics of a 
single note and just create a fundamental. Sorry, but monophonic is 
still the best you can do without hex pickups, six separate analysis 
circuits and all that crap. A wired fretboard would give you better 
results, but then that's not pitch to CV anymore...
