CableGuys Curve Description
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 presets from you and 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.
Furthermore, Curve comes with fully editable waveforms for both the oscillators and the LFOs.
The waveforms are interpolated according to the points you draw. You can use soft points, which create smooth curves, or hard points, which create spikes—it’s a lot like drawing in a simple graphics tool. This intuitive, visual approach to sound design encourages experimentation and has a direct effect on the character of the sounds you create.
Custom waveforms are especially useful for creating melodic and rhythmic patterns. Synced to your host sequencer, you define the length of the waveform—from a buzzy 1/128 to an expansive 32 bars. Unsynced, the waveform’s range runs from 0.02 Hz up to 5 kHz. Note grid, one of 21 function buttons, is a useful tool for setting pitch accurately. Other function buttons let you incrementally alter the shape of the waveform, randomize the curve or create classic shapes like pulse, square and saw.
