EVOLUTION ELECTRIC BASSES

Evolution Vintage Violin – The only demo I’ve ever made for a developer a medley of the chord progression of Paul McCartney’s “Dear Boy” along with a a very McCartney-esque song I wrote when I was around 14 years old that, until this demo, was only ever played for my late mother. It’s featured on the OTS site but credited to some guy named Peter with an Italian-sounding name, not Peter Woods. Thief! Not sure about that guy trying to take credit for my tune! Besides Evolution Vintage Violin, the guitars are all Evolution guitars.

Evolution Roundwound Bass
Evolution Flatwound Bass

I feel I should explain how a guy who long counted Chris Squire as one of his favorite bass players didn’t put the Rick bass on his favorites list. I really like the Rick distorted, but in real life, I prefer the Fender Precision, Jazz, and  Hofner 501 bass tones. That doesn’t mean I don’t use the Rick, I do, just a lot less than those other models.

OTHER SAMPLED INSTRUMENTS

Evolution Mandolin
Slide Acoustic

KEYS

Rosewood Grand
Famous E

I liked the first version of Rosewood Grand. It was nice, but it wasn’t one of my favorite piano sample libraries, and I fell in love with the Yamaha grand pianos as a kid. I even preferred their tone over Steinways—which I also love, of course. But when OTS released version two of the Rosewood Grand with new samples and a felt version, I fell in love with the library. It quickly became one of my favorite piano libraries. As far as the famous E, I love it. But I am a Wurly guy, so I can’t help but wish OTS also comes out with a Wurly that is at the same level as the Famous E. That would be amazing.
