Hi keltonturvey,
You are right. All the notes are played at the same volume/velocity.
This is also true for the original player system. The music roll operated system has only on/off control of the notes. The more elaborated "reproducing pianos" have control of the volume and expression pedals encoded on the music roll

Am I right in thinking that the midi note velocity is not used. i.e. all the notes are the same volume?

Hi djvincesewer
The interface is the Gemhut MIDI Decoder 128

Did you use the UM0 Universal MIDI Interface to control the solenoids?

Brilliant. Your wiring is so clean! This is exactly what I want to do with my player (it looks just like yours too). I saw in the comments that you used a Gemhut MIDI Decoder 128. If you're willing, please share any tips or other information that might help me duplicate what you've done. Nice MIDI selection, too! Thank you.

Hi Kris, The machine is a player piano, built in the 1920's.
It plays from piano music rolls. I only added the electronic part to play from midi files.

Do you have a part number for the solenoids you have used?
Any chance of a video showing the inside of the pianola? I am intending to do the same to my pianola and i'm interested to see where you have mounted the solenoids. Thanks...

Hello keltonturvey
I got the solenoids on eBay, and the seller still have some.
