Super Scope Player System????

[Carol Beigel]

SuperScope made the  Pianocorder system.  It had a great library of music on 
cassettes that was made from old player piano rolls.  I still have one, but 
I wore out the cassette player.  Anyway, these systems are still popular 
with some avid hobbyists and some people do repair them!

Although Yamaha bought out the company, and their library, some very clever 
people have written software emulators that duplicate these Pianocorder 
tapes to MIDI files.  You can hardly tell the difference.  This same 
software will also play these "virtual piano rolls" on real player pianos!  
Someone is also working on a CD interface that will play these old 
Pianocorders.

Just enter "pianocorder" into a search engine, and a full days entertainment 
awaits you!
