The Mighty O-roll Machine
By Robbie Rhodes

Dear Craig,

The arrangements I've heard by George should sound mighty good on the big orchestrion you're building. Since you are planning to use electric valves anyway, may I suggest that you defer construction of the complicated multiplexing system, and get everything else working using a MIDI control system? It's quite possible your customer (and you!) will enjoy the convenience of MIDI files.

Digest member Mike Ames <ames@foxtail.com> has successfully equipped Mills Violana machines for MIDI, and similar electronics could easily be applied to your "monster Coinola!"

Best wishes, Robbie Rhodes
