AweVBank has been made and designed to make music-making with the 
AWE32-soundcard easier. Everyone (even with BIG ram on the card) has 
the problem, that you don't need the whole SBK but just a few patches 
from it. That's where AweVBank steps in. It allows you to just load 
those instruments you really need. It even gives you the power to 
quickly use any WAV-file without making a full blown SBK out of it. 
And it gives you the power to change patches while you are running 
your sequencer.

Ever composed a song and wanted to quickly change a patch ? Just play
it as a loop in your sequencer and change the patch with AweVBank! 
Or test all your piano-variations if they really fit into this song, 
or ...

When you use the SysEx-MIDI-device that comes with the program, you 
can even load your patches automatically.

When you're a user of Cakewalk you can export instrument-definition-
files for this sequencer.

AweVBank has extended online-help. Just press F1 whenever you 
think you need it.

List of features:

* Create Virtual Banks that only have links to patches in SBKs or 
  WAV-files. So you don't have to upload a whole SBK just to get 
  one instrument.
* Quickly use any WAV as a patch and set it's size (44KHz, 22KHz, 
  11KHz, mono, stereo) and other parameters like Envelope-settings 
  while you are using it.
* Change patches on the fly while you are using your 
  Sequencer-Software (e.g. Cubase, Cakewalk)
* Create Patch-libraries to quickly find patches you need, 
  without searching through all your SBKs
* Comes with it's own MIDI-device to automate the loading of patches 
  and SBKs from your sequencer
* Change various FX-settings (more then just plain Chorus or Reverb)
* Visual keyboard to quickly test patches without loading a sequencer. 
  The keyboard can be controlled with your MIDI-keyboard or just 
  by clicking with your mouse
* Drag & Drop of AWB-Files directly to the program-window
* A really visual approach to the task of patch-managing
* Online Help
