Realtime Polyphonic Analog-to-MIDI Converter (PAMC)

The PAMC is a realtime physical device that can take an analog audio signal from an electric guitar or other instrument and convert it to a sequence of MIDI messages. All currently available devices that can do this are strictly monophonic; they can only process one note at a time. The PAMC is novel in that it can process up to 6 notes at a time, in realtime.
