Having a similar problem, I rang up the 408-942-4675 number and got
the official "leave ze message" thang. Just now, I got a call from an
exceptionally polite woman who cleared up the matter for me. Evidently,
you may in fact be registered and simply not have been informed by mail.
I faxed my registration, so perhaps this may have something to do with
it.

Hope this helps.

Don't know much about memory expansions or SCSI, but there is 
a mailing list for Roland sampler users where they maybe
know better. Just send mail to sgroup-request@taipan.uwaterloo.ca

  The answer is Yes. A German musician named Trimpin, who I believe now lives
in Seattle, has worked extensively with Nancarrow transcribing to MIDI from his
original paper rolls. I met him at the Sound Symposium in St. John's,
Newfoundland in July, where he played several of the transcriptions on his
MIDI-controlled, MIDI-prepared piano. He also showed slides of the devices they
built to read the rolls. Apparently it's tricky to get the velocity information
from the hole sizes without actually playing them and measuring the air
pressures.

   Trimpin also has numerous other MIDI-controlled acoustic instruments, most
notably a rack of dripping taps which drip onto little tuned drums in buckets.
MIDI velocity info controls the size of the drops. It was wonderful - we were
all grinning from ear to ear.

   Sorry I don't have an address, but I'll try to think of someone who does.

I have a project where the available notes on edits were film-based, and 
therefore relies on the format of xxxxfeet.xxframes.  I need to convert 
to SMPTE code and be frame accurate.

Of course, this exists as a published table, but it is so long that it is 
awkward to use.  Is there a Public-Domain or commerical program that can 
handle the conversion ?  I prefer a Mac Desk Accessory, but I can take

I have use dLime for a few weeks now, it is quite versatile.  It uses
the "Marl" and "Tufa" fonts for most of its work.  It can also use the
"Sonata" and "Interlude" fonts, which you must buy from somewhere(??).
But, of course, you can used ResEdit to tweak the Marl and Tufa fonts
to get variants of the note shapes suitable for you Gregorian chanting...

Have you heard of ``Nimble Musician'' developed by Ni  Min  ( Frank )

It is not exactly a music typesetting package but runs under X and

My suggestion  would be, if  you  have an instrument of some sort, 
play  some tunes on the CD or radio, and just try  and match the notes
as you go. Sounds hard,  but I play bass and have gotten exellent 
at almost anticipating notes of new stuff, and getting the correct notes
after hearing a verse or so.  Also, if you want to get  a good  sense
of rhythm, sleep with a metronome on.  You could easily  do this on 
a  computer and crank it.

2. Any circuits or ideas for the Active Sensing specification.

3. What is the make-up of the real-time transmitting bits 
    i.e. Are there parity bits in addtition to start/stop bits
    attached to the data message?

4. How is Active Sensing is treated in a MIDI receiver?


Yes, this stuff is a little technical but I would appreciate any correspondence.

In late 1989, Trimpin had managed to convert most if not all of Nancarrow's
Studies to MIDI format using equipment he built himself. However, Trimpin has
custom build electronic player piano equipment, so I can't say whether it is
suitable for, say the Disklavier. But give him a call.

Last I heard Trimpin was in Seattle, WA. (206) 547 4906.

Try clicking on the note icon just above the Cue in the piano window.
One of the choices (including percussion heads, diamond heads and
