    Product Announcement                                 July 2, 1987

                                 DXMATE

    Synchro-Systems presents DXMATE,  an  integrated  Computer  Aided
    Voicing  System  for  the  Atari  ST (TM).  The system includes a
    Voice Editor, Voice Generator,  Sequencer,  Voice  Librarian  and
    Bank Librarian.

    DXMATE  eases  the   complexity   of   programming   digital   FM
    synthesizers  by  displaying  all  parameters  of  a voice on the
    high-resolution Atari screen at one time.  It  provides  powerful
    functionality  at  the press of a mouse button by making full use
    of the Atari ST's GEM (TM)  features  such  as  drop-down  menus,
    windows, forms, slider bars and dialogue boxes.

    Currently available for use with  Yamaha  DX21,  DX27  and  DX100
    synthesizers and Atari 1040 or 520 ST with monochrome display.

                             DXMATE Features
