1/16/2023 0 Comments Player piano roll values![]() ![]() They’re from the Hyperdictionary: ĭefinition: \Dig"i*tal\, a. I thought these definitions might assist, although it’s evident both words have changed their meaning with the coming of the electrical age. compare this to a player piano or a music box - you can literally make the mark anywhere on the roll, there are (in theory but not practice, of course) an infinite number of possible positions to put a hole in the area of paper that represents one second of music. you can vary the location of some note position all you want, but in a 44 khz mp3 (for example) it's going to end up SOMEWHERE in one of 44,000 locations for that second of music. ![]() the important part is that there are a SET NUMBER of these values FOR EACH SECOND of music. what is important is that groups of them form binary numbers have values from 0 to 65535 (i think that's right, the values not really important though). they vary somewhat in position (though within certain tolerances, of course). I'll take a stab at this one: on a cd you have a certain series of pits and lands. If I write a sequence on my digital music set-up which uses a random number generator to vasry the location of the on/off note position, does it become analogue?
