Were the fun in that?!
Seriously, I've already got a PIC in my circuit with a fair amount of unused pins...I could quite readily utilize one of those pins to give me the note info - I don't need much in the way of granularity - just frequency resolution down to rough semitones, which I reckon the PIC I'm using ought to be able to establish reasonably easily. I also don't want to add in more components if possible (hence using the PIC since it's already there!)
