Seek scanMIDI files of piano rolls, lots of them! I'm sending out a
call to all piano roll archivists: If any of you have scanMIDI files
of piano rolls, send them over!
With some help from Julian Dyer, at one point or another I figured out
how to convert scanMIDI files into punchMIDI master files that can be
cut into new rolls after conversion to Gcode.
If you have rare rolls that are wrecked but still scannable, and were
archived in scanMIDI form, then those should be possible to convert back
into a 1-to-1 replica with next to no errors.
PunchMIDI files made with Perforation Editor are also something I'd like
to get copies of, especially of Duo-Art pop rolls and, if they exist,
Ampico roll reconstructions.

[ Piotr, your project is very interesting. I use Wayne Stahnke's WEB/ANN
[ file format for editing music rolls. Where can I obtain definitions
[ of scanMIDI and punchMIDI file formats? -- Robbie
