It has occurred to me every time I visit Custom Music Rolls that someone
(not me) ought to be able to come up with a computer program to convert
MIDI dynamic codes into AMPICO or Welte-Mignon expression codings for
their perforator.  (I left out Duo-Art on purpose:  CMR's perforator
can't make snakebite perfs.)

I spoke briefly about this with Janet Tonnesen, whose comment was that
it would be a tremendous challenge for even an excellent programmer.
Any comments?
