Converting Music Rolls Into Disklavier Files

John, please tell us about the methods used to make these conversions.

 [ Tom Steuer has a pushup-player (Vorsetzer) which plays the keys of his
 [ Yamaha Disklavier recording piano, thus he records _his_ piano playing
 [ from _his_ player.  A more generic method is used by Wayne Stahkne,
 [ who prefers to transfer the data from the music roll into the computer
 [ and then make the computer emulate the pneumatic reproducing piano, to 
 [ create the Disklavier output file.  Artis Wodehouse used a combination 
 [ of both of these methods for her Gershwin CD project.  -- Robbie
