Curve Public Beta

"November 15th, 2010
Great news! Curve, our unique new software synthesizer, is now available for public beta testing (PC+Mac, VST+AU).

We feel we've created something truly new here. Creating sounds with Curve is intuitive and immediate. The waveform editor is irresistible, and provides completely new possibilities for experimentation and detailed tweaking. Three powerful oscillators, three envelope generators, two filters and four LFOs work together in a sophisticated modulations matrix, all set out in a clear, uncomplicated user interface.

The other half of Curve exists outside the synthesizer. Curve's preset library is a shared online database, populated with your presets and those from other Curve users. This ever-growing, community-driven sound library provides a constant source of inspirational sound, and gives you the opportunity to share, tag and rate sounds quickly and easily across the web.

We also invite the Curve community to steer the future development of the synthesizer. Our bug reports and feature request list will be completely public at all times. We believe this is an essential aspect of Curve, and we're excited about where you're going to take us.

So download the public beta, try Curve, share your sounds and report as many bugs as you can."

"This is a showcase of the Synthesizers.com Q127 Fixed Filter Bank, fed with just a single VCO pulse wave. It has a very nice sound and the settings of the individual filters are virtually endless. The bass sound and percussion come from an Elektron Monomachine and so does the sequence driving the oscillator

"This evening I was not that lucky with the recordings. The first take wasn't that good, the second I liked very much but it appeared I forget to start the audio recording and the third take was somehow distorted again. Then I had a webcam meeting with my friend and walked the dog. After that I decided to try one last take because it was getting very late. And the result is a 23 minute video of which you see the first 15 minutes.
The music starts with two 4-step sequences in Dm from the self-built Modular and the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO combined which the Blacet MiniWave. Some chords on the Roland XP-80 are played and after that an arpeggiated chord on the Waldorf Q Keyboard is heared. The volume of the sequence of the Synthesizers.com Modular is turned up which sequence length is varied during the track. Again some chords on the XP-80 where after the length of the first two sequences is altered to 8-steps. Then a bass note is played on the iPad using an Eden synth voice in NanoStudio (preset A02, 7th Heaven). The arpeggiated bass on the Waldorf Q keyboard is introduced accompanied by notes from the NanoStudio voice and the sequences are transposed to Fm, Am and Cm. I use the two X-Y pads in NanoStudio to alter the sound of the voice. After a while the solo is played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1. At the climax the music is brought back to a minimum and the individual synths are heared.
The title refers to a phrase my friend and I sometimes use when we are together."
