As I continue with this great roll scanning adventure, my latest
initiative is to adapt my 88-note scanner to accept 58-note player
organ rolls. This is kinda interesting because the rolls ordinarily
flow from bottom to top and rotate reverse to 88-note rolls.
The single sample roll scanned so far is a Wilcox & White "Symphony"
roll No. 3248, "The Highwayman Waltzes", by De Koven. The resulting
MIDI file, in Midi Type 1, is attached.
Where I need some help is in determining the scale of this roll.
I would appreciate it if somebody could provide this specification.
None of my references contain this info. The scale of this particular
MIDI file emerges from the 65-note scale, which is likely incorrect
for 58-note rolls.
I'm assuming that all 58-note player organ rolls adhere to a single
scale specification. Is this a reasonable supposition? Reason for
this is that 58-note Orchestrelle rolls will soon be included within
this batch, and I do not have the scale specs for this instrument
either.
