living in the Amazon Jungle ler the past two
years. &tai l ed Is widely acclaimed as the
best music package for the Amiga, and ibis
latest incarnation is simply superb. The pro-
gram has been ertensively rewritten and
incorporates a host of new features, It

wanted to create your own tunes on the

Amiga, then this is the program tor you.

We also think we've struck a blow for

i B now I'm sure most of you will have
heard about the demise of the A500Plus.
c
Commodore have finally stopped production
o
of the machine, less than eight months after
r
Its launch, to concentrate their marketing
h
efforts on the new A600 (reviewed last
a
issue). It's a surprising move, really, espe-
v
cially with the A570 waning in the wings, In
case you're not aware, the A570 CO Rom
e
drive is only compatible with the A500, so
a
Commodore have effectively killed off the
l
only machine which can work with the new
w
C add-on. An A600 compatible drive is in
O
a
development, but won't be with us before
y
Christmas at the earliest. Work that one out

sequencing capabilities - making it a superb
all-round package. It has been billed as 'The
