R3 Software

 

Latest USB MIDI Driver For PC & MAC

USB MIDI Driver

---------------------------------------------------

Editor Librarian
This is the most recent version of the Editor Librarian Software for the R3, which adds Windows Vista compatibility. We always recommend that you use the latest update.

PC: R3_Sound_Editor_Ver_101.zip
Mac: R3SoundEditor_0102.dmg

---------------------------------------------------

R3 Bonus Sound Programs
This contains the factory preload data from the MS2000, MS2000B & microKORG synths converted for use in the R3. Based on the conversion software developed by Darren Richards, they were then tweaked by the sound designer who worked on the initial voicing of these three classic synthesizers, to more accurately resemble the original sounds. These can be installed using the R3 Sound Editor. Enjoy!
