Its my understanding that with the gk pickups the hexphonic signal is
multiplexed by the pickup and then sent to the midi converter where it is
de-multiplexed and converted into midi messages.  Please correct me if I am
wrong.

I dont think the gk pickup was designed to be used as a general 6 output
pickup that would allow you to do what you wanted with the 6 output
signals.

I think you would need a general purpose 6 output pickup to do the trick
with the mixer. I have no idea where you are going to find such a pickup
but there has got to be something out there!
