2004-04-02 by Terry Smythe
Just a brief note to let everybody know that within my project to preserve the content of turn-of-the-century player piano music rolls, I've just uploaded batch 10 of my piano roll scans in midi type 1 format. There are 102 titles in this batch, now summing to 1,527 titles to date, many more to come. Special thanks to Mark Fontana, Ray Starck, Martin Hurney and Dick Partos for rolls they either contributed or loaned for this preservation project. As before, these files are made available for personal enjoyment and may not be used for commercial purposes. They may be accessed by clicking on: http://members.shaw.ca/smythe/batch10.htm This page displays a listing of the rolls in alphabetical title sequence. Off the same page, you may also download a spreadsheet listing for those inclined to sort on title, composer and/or artist sequence. Many thanks to Spencer Chase for his utilities to make possible these spreadsheets without retyping everything. Please note these files are in midi type 1 format. Conversion to midi type 0 format will have the effect of deleting identifying data from within tracks 2 to 4. That data is duplicated within the companion spreadsheet. All files within this batch10 are enclosed within a ZIP file which must be downloaded, opened with WinZip or equivalent, and the midi files within saved to a directory of choice on your computer. Enjoy! Regards, Terry Smythe Terry Smythe 204-832-3982 (land line) 55 Rowand Avenue 204-981-3229 (cell) Winnipeg, MB, Canada R3J 2N6 smythe@...
