If I'm following your methodology correctly, Stefan, I think you'd 
need a couple more pieces of gear along with the GK in order to do 
that.  First, you'd need a Fanout box to break out the audio signal 
of each string into it's own discrete path.  Although the Roland 
boxes naturally do that process internally, they will only do it 
internally. :P

Richard McLish (RMC) manufactures such a Fanout, but you'd need to 
budget a few hundred more dollars there.

Then you'd need an audio interface with six inputs in order to 
digitize those separate audio signals from each string into the 
computer.  Add another $200-300 there.

I think you probably just skipped over these two hardware widgets as 
details, but they should at least be mentioned for consideration, 
IMNSHO.  And, on a more self-serving note, if you're thinking of an 
entirely different method of doing this in Max/MSP, I'd love to learn 
it.  ;)
