I am introducing a new Musical Shopping Cart. Twenty seven
new CDs are available in formats for Yamaha Disklavier,
PianoDisc and Pianomation. You may also create your own
custom CDs choosing from over 4600 selections. The site
is located at Spencers
Musical Shopping Cart. The
siteis a
little austere but there is a lot there once you start looking.
You can search for your favorite performer, composer or keyword
or phrase and canlisten to or download MP3 or MIDI samples
of any available song.
If you are looking for a particular title composer or performer in my listings, the easiest way is to use the search facility on Spencers
Musical Shopping Cart. Pick one of the piano types in the search category (at the top of the page) and enter the search string. This will being up all available selections and you may listen to samples in MIDI or MP3 formats.
A new set
of MIDI emulation files is now available. 4852 files for
$230. Click
here for more information.
A new Ampico E-Roll CD is available
with 1522 titles. Approximately 800 of these are different
from those offered by Peter Phillips. Approximately 145 are
B coded rolls. See the TO_ORDER page
for pricing and ordering.
The E-Roll
Player system has been discontinued. Bob Hunt is selling
a system called "The Virtual Roll". I highly recommend it as
an alternative to the E-roll Player. Click here for The Virtual Roll Page.
Support information for E-Roll Player owners may be found via the "Midi Valve" link on the
left.
I have simplified
this web site and removed many pages that were rarely viewed.
MIDI file listings on individual pages have been removed.
See the Download page or the files4Download page
for listing off all MIDI files available. If you want to search for a particular title use the search facility in the Musical Shopping Cart as suggested above.
My Welte T100 format scanner is now operating
and I am anxious to scan these rolls. Please contact me if you
have any available.
Look here for the latest updates and click
the underlined text links to go directly to the relevant pages.

Page for the latest music too.

for E-Roll Collectors.
Digital
Piano Rolls are now available for collectors of Original Pneumatic
Player and Reproducing Pianos, as well as for owners of solenoid
operated electronic pianos, MIDI sound modules and synthesizers.
A variety
of options exist for adapting original pneumatic instruments to
play from MIDI tracker bar image files or from BAR/ANN files using
Wind or WindPlay. See the Midi Valve Page
for information on a new system. It is the simplest and most compact
unit to date and will require minimal modification to original
instruments. Other options involve the the use of standard organ
valves or custom configurations.
Owners of solenoid operated pianos such as the Yamaha Disklavier,
Piano Disk, PianoMation, and other pianos capable of playing standard
MIDI files, may use these files as well. WindPlay, in simulation
mode, will convert reproducing piano expression into MIDI velocities
for a convincing performance of these vintage masterpieces on
modern equipment. The Emulation CD files will play directly on
any MIDI device.
Use of these files is not limited to the owners of these expensive
pianos. Anyone with an electronic synthesizer, capable of playing
MIDI files, may use them as well. High end computer sound cards
can also produce excellent results, if they are capable of utilizing
digitally sampled "Sound Fonts." Creative Lab's "Live
and the AWE series are examples of such devices.
These files may be used as source material for many other uses
as well. The standard MIDI files may be imported into MIDI sequencers,
such as Cakewalk. There is no limit to what can be done.
No attempt has been made to limit access to the data. No special
software is needed to use the MIDI files. Any standard media player
will play these files and they can be used on PC or Mac computers.
Be sure
to check out the files listings on the Classical, Popular and
Variety pages as well as the downloadable file listings and sample
files on the "Downloads"
page. Other listings and utilities have been moved to the following
page: files4Download.
Any and
all inquiries will receive a prompt reply so please don't hesitate
to e-mail your questions. There is no such thing as a stupid question
when it comes to computers and related issues. There are stupid
answers, but I will try to avoid them, since you can get plenty
from certain computer program help files.
