MIDI to Pianocorder Software
By Al Pebworth

Hello Galen,  I have a program that is dated July 1996, and was written
by Mark A. Fontana that converts a MIDI file to a special *.pcd file
and/or a *.wav file for the Pianocorder.

I just attempted to go to his web page, and it is no longer working.
I do not know if there are other programs available, but if there are,
I ask that MMD members with that knowledge please post some
information.

I have this one program, and I could send it to anyone who is
interested.

 [ Mark Fontana developed the shareware DOS software program, named
 [ MIDI2PC, while he was studying at Ohio State University.  It
 [ accepts standard MIDI files of piano music as input and produces
 [ an output WAV file which is then transferred to an ordinary Philips
 [ tape cassette for playback in the Pianocorder.
 [
 [ The *.pcd file is an alternate compact file format used to store the
 [ contents of one Pianocorder cassette as a disk file.  The details
 [ are in Mark's article in 960721 MMD, "MIDI to Pianocorder Software",
 [ and at his new web site,  http://www.mninter.net/~mfontana/
