New E-valves Discussion Group
By Terry Smythe

The Law of Unforeseen Consequences has emerged.  My roll scanning
efforts are provoking an ever growing number of inquiries about how to
equip a roll playing instrument with e-valves, such that the instrument
can be played from a nearby computer containing a virtually unlimited
number of midi files.

There is a discussion group dedicated to "E-Roll Collectors" within
which some discussion has emerged from time to time relative to e-valve
midi systems and their construction.  It may be accessed off:

  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/E-Roll-Collectors/

As the volume of these inquiries have increased in recent months,
I find myself repeatedly referring people to MMD and the E-Roll
Collectors forum.  Feedback would seem to suggest there may be a need
for a discussion group specifically oriented to the nuts and bolts
of assembling and installing e-valve systems.  Such systems may range
from off-the-shelf individual components from a variety of suppliers or
complete proven commercial systems such as that made available from

In an effort to provide for such a forum, I have created a new
discussion group which may be accessed off

  http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/e-valves/

In about six months time we can assess its merits relative similar
discussions on other related groups.  Thoughts of others on this
initiative would be appreciated.
