Playing 88-Note Rolls on Ampico Player Piano
By Spencer Chase

Greetings,  Yet another way to play 88-note rolls on Ampico is to
install an E-Roll player system and use the conversion program that is
available from my web site. It will add the codes necessary to play the
88-note file at fixed expression.

I also have versions for the Duo-Art and for Welte. The Duo-Art version
allows the user to select a fixed level from 0 to full volume.  I will
adapt the Ampico version to have user choice of level too, if there is
enough interest.  The Welte version sets the regulator on the MF hook
and also converts steady on pedaling to lock and cancel.

Programs are also available which convert standard MIDI files to play
on Ampico, Duo-Art and Welte.  All of these programs work in batch mode
so many files can be processed easily.  The programs can be found on
this page: http://www.spencerserolls.com/Files4Download
