Curve 2 - Software Synthesizer

Curve 2 - Cableguys

Curve is a software synthesizer with an irresistible waveform editor, huge sound library and slick interface. Version 2.5 adds new Sallen-Key filter types, beat-synced envelopes, an overhauled UI and many tweaked sounds.

• Dual waveforms per oscillator
• Macros for fast, deep tweaks
• Flexible envelope generators

Feed Curve's oscillators, LFOs and envelopes with custom waveforms. For anything rhythmic from wobbles to FX loops and evolving pads. For broad oscillator timbres from deep basses to shrill, aggressive snarls.

A huge library will get you started, with quality presets by renowned sound designers such as Michael Kastrup, Pluginguru, Myagi, Xenos Soundworks, Soundsdivine, and hidden pearls from the Curve community.

Curve provides completely new possibilities for experimentation and detailed tweaking, with a simple to use, immediate, slick interface.

We tried to make Curve 2 as simple to use as possible. A help view at Curve's bottom provides useful texts for its controls. Clicking on the Cableguys icon will show some more help on editing the waveform.

This page helps you getting started and shows some of the non-obvious features.

Macro controls, modwheel and aftertouch

You can explore vast sound variations quickly and let multiple parameters alter at once with Curve's macro knobs. Macro 1–3 are individually adjusted and differ for every preset, while most presets have macro 4 in common - the "Fatness" macro. Handy for quick thickening up of your sounds.

The first knob is hard-wired to modwheel, the second one to aftertouch.

You can easily create your own versatile macro assignments with our straight-forward drag'n'drop controls (accessible via the top right button in the macro area). Our preset designers are doing the same and expanding the best presets from the community for quick access to those parameters that define the core of a sound.

Unique waveform editing

Draw waveforms with ease and precision. Create smooth bezier curves, peaks, cuts and slopes using soft or hard breakpoints, producing gentle transitions or sharp bends in the waveform. As with all Cableguys plugins, Curve's waveform editing offers great flexibility and excels the automation functionality of most DAWs.
