Title: Amstrad CPC. Music While You Work (2)

Turn up the volume!

Simultaneously using a word processor (ROM Protext) & playing music on a CPC 6128.
Please note that the music (AGILE by 'Crown') loops so will play indefinitely - so if you use Protext for 40 minutes or 40 hours it would still be playing continuously.
