I have not found a announcement on KvR so it could be interesting for Access Virus A/B/C/XL/Indigo users
If you never heard about the Virus Commander:
It's a programmer/librarian for Virus A/B/C/XL/Indigo.
It works as a FX plug-in (but audio is not handled by the VCommander) so it don't needs complex routing with midi tracks and stuff. Only insert it as a effect and that's is it.
Patches, actual edited voices and the complete session (!) is stored within the project (total recall!)
I quote this from the announcement on Gearslutz:
VCommander, the most complete MIDI editor and librarian for Access Music's synthesizer product line Virus (Type A-C) has
finally made it to version 4, available for Windows and Mac and can run as standalone or as VST/AU plugin.

processing, full Vocoder support, Solo-Mode and many more.
