I forgot to ask yesterday who on this list has had any experience
with the MIDI-controlled tracker bar that Tom Grace told me has been
engineered for (I think) the Ampico.  Is that enough information to
know what I am talking about?  Tom tells me that the principle can be
adapted to control any other tracker-bar-equipped instrument.

 [ Broadmoore and Laurent Coray.  The first production model can be
 [ used with any 9-chan/inch tracker bar, including Ampico; a variant
 [ for Welte T-100 rolls will be next.  For more information write to
