1994, Future Music’s cover CD went dual format, adding a ROM section to the audio, and featuring software as well as the usual compilation of sounds. Through the remaining course of the ‘90s, Future Music gave away masses of useful software and samples, including full sequencing capability in the shape of packages like Evolution and Sweet 16. These were not market-leading or game-changing tools, obviously, but they presented readers with real recording solutions that worked, and didn’t cost a penny more than the mag’s monthly cover price.
Roni Music's Sweet 16 was a more pattern-orientated and basic sequencer - good for dance styles of sequencing, but with a very low price tag of less than £50 in 1993. Sound on Sound reviewed the Atari version at the beginning of 1994, but Sweet 16 transcended the ground between commercial and free, and its PC incarnation became another of Future Music's cover CD giveaways.
