Fooling around while watching TV:

MIDI N   -> Quantize  +75%
Quantize -> Fine Pitch -6%
Quantize -> Pitch     -50%
MIDI N   -> AmpVol    -30%
MIDI N   -> FiltFreq -100%

Turning N from 0 to 127 will drop the sound an octave, in half step
increments, turn the volume down, and progressively muffle the sound. 
Oddly enough, since the octave slide is so quick, you pretty much don't
hear the individual steps.  You could relocate Fine Pitch's input to be
MIDI N at -4 or -5% instead to get a little less harsh edge if you hear
it.

I'm tempted to try making a poor man's differentiator to get a little
bit of a buzz at each "fret change" but I'm not sure I'm motivated
enough for that tonight.

Okay, maybe I am:

Quantize -> Gain4X   +100%
Quantize -> Lag0In   +100%
Lag0     -> Abs      -100%
Abs      -> FiltFreq +100%

So, it's not quite as exciting as I hoped.  Maybe with a better filter
and the Q up a bit.  Or maybe use the same cords on an additional layer
with the volume turned down, but route Abs to AmpVol instead.  This
will give you a pulse of sound at each note change.  With a buzzy synth
instrument on that layer, it might sound right.

Synths rule.
