AMIKIT REAL UPDATE 8 RELEASED
*************************************

AMIGA KIT ANNOUNCED

We are happy to announce the release of the new full and update installers
of AmiKitReal!

Free download available at: real.amiga.sk/

Now including new programs like Rainboot v3.2, so now you can boot with a progress bar and select among eight configurations plus a random one, a new MorpheuZ with different images, voices and options, the Renegades Deluxe
game, Cooper-Demon, a new IconMaker program by James Stalham to create your
own icons or ScreenText by Thomas Rapp to welcome you with some info on
screen.

With this update we are introducing two programs that are under
development. MUI 4 is installed by default but you can revert to the 3.8 version using MorpheuZ, and the new DOpus 5.91 can also be installed with
the help of MorpheuZ.

Five more booting voices by DJNick that will play randomly when you boot,
new wallpapers and patterns and many other improvements for example in the
User Menu (Magellan) to directly edit the Startup-Sequence or User-Startup, updates like NetsurfAGA, changes on some preferences or a "Better Config" program on Tools that will let you use a "Top config" on WinUAE or powerful Amiga with just a click. Seven Icon-Scripts have been created to launch
some radio streams with a double click or directly from a new dock on
AmiDock.

The update installer will also update the Mattahan's Icons Set for those
that are using it, and I am releasing also a 16 Colours Ken's Icons pack
that will use 32 colours for each one (16+16) instead of the 512 they
normally use, and that will mean a huge boost on the icon's speed.

Many thanks to Thomas Rapp for his great help with many options of the
update, update of his ScreenText program or small scripts to run a lot of options, Dan Wood for sharing his Radio stream scripts, Andreas Falkenhahn
for his Rainboot program and help, DJNick for his booting voices, Thilo
Köhler for his help with ImageConverter, James Stalham for his new
IconMaker program and Ken Lester for sharing his own scripts to create
icons. Also thanks to Neil Kafferkey for the new Prism2V2, to M.C.
Battilana and AmigaKit for sharing Personal Paint 7.1c. Thanks to
Kycer/CSG for ksc_TotalReset and finally a great Thanks to Wayne Ashworth
and Kevin Darbyshire for the update of the Renegades Deluxe game.

Have fun!

*************************************
MEDIATOR MULTIMEDIA CD UPDATE 2.3
*************************************

The Mediator Multimedia CD 2.3 update is available for registered users of
all Mediator models.

The update includes a new versions of:

* pci.library (ver. 9.10)
* Radeon.card (ver. 2.20)
* Voodoo.card (ver. 4.34)
* MedConfig (ver. 2.0)

The pci.library ver. 9.10 includes new procedures for allocation of the
DMA buffers for PCI cards working in the busmaster mode. New software
improves timings of the PCI busmaster cards (Spider, SB4.1, SB128, FM801,
TV tuner, FastEthernet) during their accesses to the DMA buffers located in
the SDRAM/SGRAM memory of the PCI GFX card. New software should solve
issues of same SB128 cards in the Radeon based configurations.

In the new version of the MedConfig script the support for RadeonMemOS, VoodooMemOS and SpiderBuf variables has been added. New RadeonMemOS and VoodooMemOS variables allow to control the function which adds a part of
GFX card SDRAM/SGRAM memory to the Amiga system memory.

Information on the current versions is available in the DOWNLOADS elbox.com/downloads_mediator.html

Elbox homepage is here elbox.com/index.php

Fractals For SketchBlock plugin for SketchBlock.

Existing Customers can download it now webplus.broad.ology.org.uk/fractals/

Fractals for SketchBlock, enables you to create and animate Fractal based designs in full colour.

NEW IN THIS VERSION:

Theming: if SketchBlock Lite has been purchased from AmiStore, Fractals
for SketchBlock will adopt the current theme.

Smoothing: Iteration based colouring modes can now be smoothed, giving
even transition between colours.

Repeating Palette Mode: This new colouring mode uses one colour from the palette for each iteration step, giving greater control by allowing the
user to create their own colour transitions. Works best with longer
palettes with gradual colour changes (unless you want a stripey look :-) ).

If you haven't already bought Fractals or SketchBlock you can buy it here

www.broad.ology.org.uk/amiga/sketchblock/fractals/

for just £5.00, or take advantage of the convenience of buying from

COMMODORE FREE AMIGA GAMES
REVIEWER WANTED
*************************************

Could you review games for Commodore Free?

I am looking for an Amiga Games reviewer, as you see I don't have time to review Amiga games. I am ok with the 8-bit stuff, but find I have no time
to look at Amiga games. As this magazine is supposed to cover all
Commodore machines, you may feel the Amiga is neglected and have a flair
for reviewing the latest releases. No monetary rewards are offered and you will need to source the game files yourself, but I can offer you short deadlines and long work hours.

INTERESTED?!

Then why not Contact me at:

A FEW MORE 'INSTANT MUSIC' SCRAPS.
By Michael Braisher
*************************************

following my last appearance in issue 83.

Today we take in a little more Commodore emulation. Especially with VICE's MIDI support and such, there's been no better time to marry all options.
Also, I'm reminded how studio pros mourned the death of talent with the
advent of electronic machines, particularly by the '80's. 'Just press a
button and out comes music', a complaint often justified, mind you.

Yes, equipment can make people lazy but it also liberates us dilettantes.
After all, if you can only get your clumsy claws around a Band Hero
controller or sound-to-MIDI tool like Melodyne, for whistling in your tunes
to notation, then why not use the tools to get yourself on disk, too?

So let's get down to cases.

use to convert MIDI files to SID. And it does a brill
