[RWP] SynthMaster, yet another Great-Sounding synth I can't access

[Alex H.]

Inaccessible presets/VSTi's in general is nothing new.

Have you poked about in shift-p reaAccess params dialog? I've seen a
few plugs that have preset as a parameter.

Other than that it's trying to find the preset files, hoping they're
in a readable format, and if the plug loads a default preset, change
the name and replace another preset as default.
