  1. Looks pretty cool. Had a friend who saw this at Summer NAMM and said it kicked ass – I think he said the street price was 99 bucks – awesome!

  2. Saw this product at NAMM – was absolutely floored! Sounds are amazing and it’s ridiculously easy to use. Can’t wait till I can get my hands on it.

  3. Progression is a great writing tool. I have been testing and composing on it for a few months now. The sounds are amazing. You can get great tones through the amp simulation or just the natural sounds of the acoustic instruments. Easy note entry and sound customization makes it a simple to compose a whole song. If your familiar with tab, the tab feature allows you to get your guitar parts in with all the bends, slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Progression even comes with a chord and beat library if you need some inspiration to “get the ball rolling.” All of the instruments included in Progression (keyboards, bass, and drums) give you the ability to write for instruments you may not play! The save as audio feature makes it easy to export your whole song or just parts of it as a .wav file to share with friends or band-mates. If you are looking for an easy to use music creation tool with great sound quality, take a look at Progression.
