                  The Amiga directory also includes IFF images
                  and digitized samples of native speakers
                  from FairBrothers' Audio Gallery language
                  instruction software.  An IBM directory
                  includes the same instruments, pictures and
                  sounds in .bmp and .wav formats.

Access Software.. None.  No icons included for WorkBench
                  access.

Comments......... This review, like the disk packaging,
                  focuses on the instrumental sounds.  The
                  nine directories of pictures and sounds from
                  Audio Gallery (one for each language
                  represented) were of no use to me without
                  the Audio Gallery software.  I do not know
                  whether owners of that software can use the
                  CD-ROM to add languages or eliminate disk-
                  swapping.
                  
                  I tested many of the instruments on this CD-
                  ROM with Deluxe Music 2.0, playing them back
                  through the standard Amiga audio channels.
                  I did not test them with MIDI hardware.
                  
                  Disclaimer:  The author of this CD-ROM is a
                  friend and fellow member of our Amiga user
                  group.  I did not discuss this review with
                  him.

Testers Opinion.. "These instruments all appear to be new
                  samples, as none of those I checked match
                  samples of the same sounds that I have
                  collected from other sources over the years.
                  All of those I have tested work well with
                  DeluxeMusic.  718 instruments make a great
                  addition to anyone's collection."
