Progtronic:
Evolve

2007

Second Progtronic release.

Just as the first release of this project, this album was created entirely on a computer. This time only one piece of music software was used for everything, including the creation of the music and the final mastering.

This album was more focused on Progressive Rock and Fusion styles.

A variety of custom soundbanks were created and used giving this album an edge over the last in terms of quality and choice of instrumentation and sound effects.

Rick's entire sound library was converted for possible use. Sounds and instruments dating as far back as his second SimItar CD.

Many new, convincing, "guitar" patches were programmed and featured throughout this album. More expressive sequencing techniques were explored as well to add a realistic feel to most of the instruments.
