Want to Build an Electronic Roll Reader
By Marc Sachnoff
Folks:
I'm trying to ascertain the state (or state of the art) of paper roll reading digital encoding devices. I've seen Mike Ames set up as well as Wayne Stahnke's. Both are fascinating.
My goal is to build, buy, create a device that will read with equal facility all types of reproducing rolls. These encoded MIDI files would then be played on a Piano Disc or Yamaha Disklavier system.
Has anyone out there created their own reader/encoder? Stahnke's device is perfect for his commercial enterprise, but way too complex from my personal needs. Ames' device is more up my alley, but his use of an optical page scanner may introduce too many variables into what should be (I hope) a more simple solution.
Any thoughts and ideas. Any others with interest in this area. I'd be interested in any input on the subject.
Thanks,
--Marc Sachnoff |
