•In response to Steve Greatrex's inquiry about whether anyone in the United Kingdom has a PowerRoll yet: Ms. Selina A. Powers of Newcastle Upon Tyne, a restorer of automatic instruments, will be receiving her PowerRoll within the next few weeks. I'll let you know when it has arrived, as I'm sure she...

•What have people's experiences been with this new system, since it has been released? Michael Waters

•I have been using the Power Roll system for quite a while now so I can probably give a good report about it. I do not have any financial interest in the product. As with any new product there are the inevitable minor difficulties in the initial setup of the system but I feel that these minor proble...

•Until now, we have been selling the PowerRoll Electric Music Roll directly to consumers at a very modest introductory price of $1,495. Beginning June 15, 1999, we will change our marketing structure, selling the PowerRoll through dealers at a suggested list price of $2,495. The purpose of this pric...

•Dear MMD's, I'm interested to hear if anyone has received their PowerRoll unit from Larry Broadmoore yet, as production seems to be taking a long time. I ordered one back in about May and still haven't received it. Was just wondering if Larry has sorted out his produc- tion problems yet. Some of yo...

•I placed my order for a PowerRoll in early June. In early August I called for a progress report and was advised by Larry Broadmoore that the person responsible for the production of the circuit boards for the PowerRoll had passed away, which had set production back several weeks. I was further advi...

•Regarding Michael Waters' inquiry about PowerRoll shipments: It is true that shipments of PowerRolls are behind schedule. The main reason is the death of my business partner and good friend, Laurent Coray, on July 18. Laurent was the developer of the electronics for the PowerRoll and supplied the p...

•In answer to Michael Waters query, I too am still waiting for my PowerRoll, having ordered it on January 5! Although Larry Broadmore hasn't been overly forthcoming in volunteering information, he has been apologetic in explaining production delays each time I have asked. Based on various testimonia...

•I met Larry Broadmoore at the recent AMICA convention and saw a demon- stration of his PowerRoll system. As an experienced engineer, I was very impressed with the elegant design of the parts and how Larry has done everything possible to make the unit work on all variations of feeders. He may have m...

•I'm a bit concerned that MMD may become a forum to vent anger and frustration regarding the production delays with the PowerRoll. I ordered three PowerRolls a few months ago. I have been to Larry's shop and seen the PowerRoll in action on a Weber Duo-Art. I have also seen the parts awaiting the boa...

•To the MMD Recently, there have been questions in this forum as to why PowerRolls that were ordered some time ago, have not yet been delivered to the customer. The reasons for the delays have been answered in the MMD by Larry Broadmoore. The primary delay factor was Laurent Coray's grave illness an...

•MMD's, I made an inquiry on the MMD on 4th Sept here regarding the PowerRoll Shipments and their delay. I'm terribly sorry if it sounded like I had lost faith in it's shipment etc. But I was just asking for some opinions from some of you that are a little closer to where they are being built, to gi...

•In response to recent discussions in the MMD: "MIDIfication" of automatic instruments can be most easily achieved in many cases with our product, the PowerRoll. The PowerRoll contains in a single, elegant metal package, 100 prewired and mounted electrically-controlled pneumatic valves, and an highl...

•PowerRoll should not be considered as "versus" paper rolls. Regarding Bob Taylor's comments about the fascination and importance of paper rolls: It is true that a perfectly restored reproducing piano using paper rolls can perform stunningly, and I have no concrete evidence at the present date, that...

•To all those interested in the PowerRoll, Just had to drop a line to let you folk know I just took delivery of the PowerRoll and I am very impressed with it to say the least. What a superb piece of engineering, it works flawlessly. I can't help but be excited about the possibilities of this. I also...

•Dear MMD and Lars, The PowerRoll can be run by any device that plays MIDI, including a Macintosh. The key is whether you have the proper MIDI files. All of the scanned files offered for the PowerRoll by Spencer Chase include MIDI files which can operate the PowerRoll from either Macintosh or Window...

•Hi List, I am about to get a PowerRoll and Larry Broadmoore mentioned something about other Mac users using a PowerRoll without the WindPlay program he includes which is for the PC. Does anyone on this list know alternatives so that, with some programming, the Macintosh can play downloaded MIDI fil...

•The PowerRoll takes standard MIDI input to play music and will work with a Mac with MIDI interface. There are a two major complications however. First is the fact that the pedal codes of a MIDI file which is not made specifically for the attached piano will not pass through properly to the piano wi...

•Regarding Spencer Chase's letter, which explains how the PowerRoll's automatic shutoff feature responds to MIDI files, it is true that in order for the PowerRoll to shut off the piano's pump motor, a special signal must be sent to the relay which does this. As Spencer says, MIDI channel one's first...

•Hello Everyone, I have a PowerRoll player on a Ampico B in a Knabe and it works well. I demonstrated it to my wife's boss and he liked it and prepaid for one last December. I've contacted Larry Broadmoore several times and so far no player, just a _lot_ of excuses! I'm curious if this is a single i...
