`Project XG will put the Amiga back on the music map!'

The Project XG feature will appear in the September issue of CU Amiga Magazine, out on the 14th of August. A complete parts list will be included with suppliers, detailed instructions and a unique design for ease of construction. You will need to get out the soldering iron but any occasionally dabbler should be able to cope. ProjectXG

The accompanying cover CD-ROM will also contain a bumper collection of thousands of MIDI songs including XG MIDI for vastly superior playback on Project XG. Naturally we'll be providing a wealth of support software for MIDI song playback, composing and sequencing. You'll be able to take Project XG wherever you go in the future and game/third party support is incredibly easy to implement. Project XG will put the Amiga back on the music map!
