What is SynthMaster 3 Player / Free Player?
 
SynthMaster 3 Player is a stripped down version of SynthMaster 3 tailored towards users who prefer tweaking existing presets over designing sounds from scratch. It comes with all 4450 factory presets of our SynthMaster One, SynthMaster 2 and SynthMaster 3 software synthesizers.

More than a ROMpler

Each SynthMaster 3 Player instance can have up to 16 layers. Users can add new layers by loading existing presets into layers through the preset browser.
