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

[Scott Chesworth]

Interesting, I've never seen a plug expose actual presets via Shift+P
before. Can you think of any examples off the top of your head dude?
Also, did they expose real-world values, or was it the old 0.0 to 1.0
range? I'm asking because every developer I've spoken to seems to shy
away from exposing the presets themselves via automation, so it'd be
good to have an example of when it's been done successfully,
especially if that puppy was showing actual preset names.

Cheers

Scott
