FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

     ADVANCED GRAVIS AND MIDISOFT SIGN LICENSING AGREEMENT

Advanced Gravis Computer Technology Ltd. and Midisoft Corporation
have signed an agreement whereby Midisoft music authoring software
will be bundled together with Advanced Gravis UltraSound(tm)
multimedia PC hardware.  The world-wide, non-exclusive licensing
agreement extends to the end of 1993.

Under the terms of the agreement, Gravis will license Midisoft
Recording Session for Windows and a collection of MIDI songs for
inclusion in the retail versions of the Gravis UltraSound sound
card.  The bundle will give users the ability to easily play,
compose, record, and edit MIDI music for personal, business, or
educational purposes.

"A large percentage of our sound card customers are Windows users
anxious to experiment with music composition and MIDI," said Grant
Russell, Advanced Gravis president.  "These customers are going to
find our CD-quality sound and Midisoft's revolutionary software
hard to beat, especially at the price.

Gravis UltraSound, released in early October 1992, is a 16-bit 
44.1 kHz, 32 voice stereo sound card with support for Standard
MIDI, 256K of on-board memory, and a speed-compensating game port. 
UltraSound features wave table synthesis for true professional
quality musical instrument reproduction.  It features Ad Lib(tm)
and Sound Blaster(tm) compatibility and supports Windows Multimedia
Extensions.  The suggested retail of the UltraSound bundle is
$199.95 and will begin shipping in March 1993.

Midisoft Recording Session for Windows is a notation-based MIDI
sequencer that displays standard music notation in realtime during
recording, editing, and playback.  The program converts a PC into
a multi-track recording studio.  With the program, users with
little if any music knowledge can easily edit existing MIDI files -
such as those being included in the Gravis/Midisoft bundle. 
Amateur musicians and hobbyists with a knowledge of music can use
the software to compose and record original music.

"Our Recording Session is a sophisticated music authoring tool
that's easy enough to use by mainstream Window users," said Raymond
Bily, Midisoft CEO.

Founded in 1986, Midisoft Corporation is a privately held company
rapidly becoming recognized as the leader in music software
technology for Windows.  The Redmond, Washington firm develops a
line of Windows, DOS, VIS, and Atari software which enhances the
music experience of people of all ages and levels of music
proficiency.

Advanced Gravis designs, manufactures and markets high-quality
entertainment devices for personal computers, including joysticks,
PC GamePads, MouseSticks, and the new UltraSound, a 16 bit, 32
voice sound card for the IBM PC.
