We got a new Curve 2 song demo by Cableguys' own Jerome Ferry. Have a listen:

We just released Curve 2.0.2, now with profile images.

Curve 2 is becoming an even more exciting place to share your sounds!

We'd like to invite you to download the latest version and add a short text on you, to add your web links (website, Soundcloud, Facebook and Twitter) and profile image. Others will learn more about you whenever they see a preset you did.

This update also fixes bugs with routing velocity to EG 1/2 and with modulation of LFO speed (thanks a ton to hakey for reporting these bugs!).

I hate to say it but, though the new behaviour is an improvement, velocity to EG doesn't work as it ought to (at least, as commonly implemented in most synths).

All that a conventional velocity to EG routing need do is scale the EG amount - at 100% it should be scaled linearly from 0 to unity (where unity is equal to the EG amount were no velocity scaling applied).

What seems to happen with Curve is that adding 100% velocity modulation to EG increases the EG's amount above its original amplitude.

For example, consider a synth with conventional vel>EG routing in which the EG is routed to open a filter from fully closed to 50% open. If 100% vel>EG scaling is then applied, with note events of zero velocity the filter will be unaffected by the EG, whereas for events of 127 velocity the EG will open the filter to the 50% position.

Do the same in Curve and adding vel>EG modulation will see the filter opening beyond the 50% level at full velocity.

And, I can't be sure exactly what's going on, but I have a suspicion that vel>EG might also increase the EG's decay time?

Sorry to be so picky.

Being picky is perfect! Helps to improve the product.

Well, I should go to bed now, traveling to Amsterdam in some hours to meet one of today's most famous producers/DJs, talking about plugin improvements. Pretty excited.

Is it just me, or does curve2 have its own "sound" sort of like "massive" has.

It's so interesting.. we always sell most plugins when an offer starts, and then again on the day when it ends and, uh, the day after the offer.

So we've expanded the introductory offer for Curve 2 a bit.. for the ones who missed the date. You can still get Curve 2 for EUR 99 / USD 129 (reg. EUR 119 / USD 159) until November 5!

Well, isn't it like this:

Starts: Yes! At last it's mine!

During: Well, this could fit into my virtual synth collection... but do I have the money? Better question, how can I get the money?

Ends: Argh! I'm addicted! I need to buy it!

Quite logical isn't it?

Speaking for myself, I want it but the charity auction burned a hole in my pocket... then... you never know. Thanks for postponing the end date.

We've just released Curve 2.0.3, fixing a crash bug which could happen in Cubase (and maybe in other hosts too which also like to report negative time values.. sigh).

The discount is EUR 119/USD 159 and includes Curve 2, VolumeShaper 3, FilterShaper 2 and MidiShaper.

Or test the demo versions, fully functional and without time-limit.

no way jose.

so i will miss the sale, and have been trying to demo it desperately and have never ever been able to. To this day i have never heard what it sounds like

same with VS.

Hello Theo, I am sorry to hear that. Have you been in contact with our support at contact@cableguys.de ?

We've just passed the mark of 100 preset pages with Curve 2's public preset sharing! Thank to everyone contributing!

So how much cpu does curve2 need? Can you compare it to another synth?
