Converting Ampico Piano Roll Expression Codes
By Spencer Chase

Greetings,  In anticipation of the restoration of my Ampico B and the
fitting with an E-Roll player, I am thinking about writing a program
to convert Ampico A coded E-Rolls to B coding.  I am interested in any
information or opinions that might be useful.

What would be most useful would be information on how this was done
when the original rolls were converted by American Piano Co.  Short of
that, opinions on appropriate methods would be welcome.  If anyone
has copies of A rolls and also the B version of the same performance,
I would be very interested in borrowing a few.

Best regards,
