I’d like them to do a Virtual Guitarist 3 as well. That thing was damned useful and although others have similar functions… VG2 nailed it.

Amen to VG3. Vg2 was a great product and they never kept it updated to run properly after snow leopard. A niche product that did a great job. I really miss using it.
I use Groove Agent (the original) in all my downtempo/improv shows…been waiting on this for a long time. Take my money.
