Manufacturer's description
PROGRESSION features bass and drums samples from Grammy Award Winners Victor and Roy Wooten and guitar samples from virtuoso guitarist Neil Zaza. Each instrument's string has been sampled individually up the fretboard with multiple dynamic layers to deliver impeccable realism.
PROGRESSION's sample library includes electric and acoustic guitar, electric and upright bass, drum set, piano, clavinet, and Fender Rhodes® keyboard. With the built-in FX editor, you can send tracks through numerous amp models, cabinet, and digital effects including reverb, chorus, and delay - or use your own VST effects. You can even experiment with amp tubes and components to create your own amp.

Pros
Easy note entry. VST effect support. Very affordable. Great sounds.
Cons
Lacks the flexibility of other notation packages. Fretboard graphic only goes up to fret 13!
Verdict
Progression is an accessible tab-based music package. As long as you're not expecting advanced engraving functions, it's a solid buy.
