"Curve is a unique software synthesizer with editable waveforms and preset sharing. For Mac and Windows, as VST or AU."

"Cableguys have released Curve: a unique new software synthesizer based on editable waveforms and preset sharing.

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 users with a constant source of inspirational sound, and the opportunity to share, tag and rate sounds quickly and easily across the web.

The Curve community can also steer the future development of the synthesizer, as bug reports and feature requests are completely public at all times:

We, Cableguys, believe this is an essential aspect of Curve, and we're excited about where our users are going to take us."

"Also, we just introduced the Cableguys Bundle. It contains all our plugins (Curve, FilterShaper 2 and VolumeShaper 2). Until March 1st, it's available at an introductory price of EUR 129/USD 174. Afterwards, it will be EUR 149/USD 199. More on that:

Users can add their feature wishes and vote on features for Curve, and the feature wishlist is public at all times:

I'd like to give you a overview of the major next steps that are planned for Curve:

- Until beginning of March we will add modulation for LFO speed. A first implementation is done and just needs fine-tuning: [link]

- Until beginning of April we plan to allow modulation of pitch and volume per OSC (not just globally). The necessary preparations in code (including improvements on CPU usage) and GUI are made, so we are confident to stick to that plan. [link]

You might remember Curve from this user demo video. Note Curve is now on version 1.0.

44 Eleven MiniMoog Sounds

"MiniMoogs are good at bass sounds. So lots of people use them for that, a lot. Myself included. This video shows a few other types of sounds that the MiniMoog can do. There are effects, frequency modulation, leads, spikey things, distorsion and a few other things."

Diego de Befaco Slicer / 8 Step Sequencer

via comun y corriente (Googlish here)

"* Diego de Befaco skill will finish a prototype of the new version of Slicer / 8 step sequencer ... Soon in ordinary! "

And Diego, the synth cat below:

"* The other Diego had domestic problems that will prevent you bring your Spanish guitar, so you will be forced to play with this wild animal:"

One more pic via Amstrad in the comments via flickr added below. That's one satisfied cat.

Update via c+c in the comments: "Just a brief explanation of what was going on here... This was published a couple of days before our first Corrientazo, a concert featuring many musicians using compact synthesizers and DIY stuff. So we were announcing that Diego, from Befaco, was going to play with a prototype of their new Slicer / 8 step sequencer, to be released later this month (more info soon!).

Then I heard news from Amstrad that he was no longer going to play spanish guitar + MFB 522 in the concert, because the cat ate the guitar! So he brought his DIY modular, from the Befaco workshops, instead; and played it via MIDI from his iPhone!"
