Up on MMD, Bob Taylor and Robbie Rhodes have expressed some
concerns about midi files and eroll files. It's a concern that
emerges often.

In an attempt to shed a little light on just what is the basic
difference between a midi type 1 file and an e-roll, I've put
together a web page illustrating the basic difference. It may
be seen at:

This page outlines a few basic considerations, invites a quick
look at Larry Doe's MK4 scanner, then hit "back" to return to
the e-rolls page. At end, it provides for returning to an e-
valves page I put together about a year ago.

This e-roll page "What Is An E-roll?" is also available as a
clickable menu item off my E-valves page:

Hope this helps a little to provoke some discussion about e-
rolls and midi files. I do not purport to be an expert on
midi. Others much more knowledgeable than I will hopefully
join in the discussion.

Regards,

Terry
