I would try to specify triggers for a limited amount of certain notes. 
That would have the advantage that you don't need a real pitch 
detection, which is technically complex and has latency issues...
I don't think there exists ready made gear for this, but to do that in 
Max/MSP wouldn't be too hard. Basically have a peak filter and watch the 
  volume. If it exceeds a threshold - trigger. You could do it as well 
with an analog modular synth, but in this case software is much more 
convenient... (But you'd need a laptop...)

Having a Gk2 would be a plus, you could define triggers for different 
strings independently...

If you have a pitch to Midi running already, triggering sounds is as 
simple as connecting a sampler with your own samples...

No idea what this thread makes it OT...
