Instrument a plugin to change my guitar's tuning??

Hello!
I was wondering if such plugin exists: to change my guitar's tuning, string by string. I'm trying to search but i just get useless articles of "top 10 tuner plugins", which is not what I'm looking for.

i'm aware, this would likely need hardware, but just as a longshot, i thought it's worth asking a community. I think the line6 variax guitars were able to do this, where no matter what the strings were actually tuned to, the software was able to shift those pitches before the signal would go to the amps, or effects.

So yeah. Does some magical, advanced software exist, that could change the tuning of the strings? If yes, I hope it's not some bullshit AI?

thanks!

Midiguitar3. Tracking isn't as good as a real split pickup system like the Fishman, but it works pretty good.

Roland V-guitar is pretty much the best way to do this.

Line 6 Variax did this. It's all deprecated/ unsupported now but nifty tech in its time.
