What Curve 2 does
The synth is organized around a waveform editor where custom waveforms can be drawn and fed into the oscillators, LFOs and envelopes. Oscillators are aliasing-free, and the plugin includes noise generation and broad FM. Waveform crossfades change timbres over time, and a unison mode stacks voices for fatter leads. Timbres reach from deep basses to shrill, aggressive snarls, and drawable LFOs cover melodic and rhythmic patterns, dubstep wobbles and bit-crushing. Filter routing is flexible, and a mono mode with legato glide is included.
A large preset library ships with the plugin, including presets by well-known preset designers, and a shared online database adds more sounds. Macro knobs change several parameters at once, and inbuilt MIDI assignment maps external controllers quickly. The interface shows the main controls at a glance with high contrasts.
Key features
- Drawable waveforms and oscillators. Custom waveforms are drawn in the editor and routed into aliasing-free oscillators, with noise generation and broad FM available as sound sources.
- Waveform crossfades and unison. Waveform crossfades change timbres while a note plays, and the unison mode stacks voices to deliver fat lead sounds.
- Drawable LFOs. LFOs are drawn by hand and can produce melodic and rhythmic patterns, dubstep wobbles and bit-crushing effects.
- Filter routing and mono mode. Filters can be routed flexibly, and a feature-rich mono mode includes legato glide for monophonic lines.
- Macro knobs. Macro knobs control several parameters at once, so large sound variations can be explored quickly from a single control.
