CableGuys has updated their freeware VST wavetable synthesizer Curve to version 0.5b.
This new beta fixes a problem where Curve would produce strange noises when running on multicore CPUs.
Curve features
- 3 oscillators (each of them can be set to one of four user-wavetables, sine, saw, pulse, triangle or noise)
- 2 synced and 2 unsynced LFOs
- Envelopes for Volume and Filter
- 6/12/24dB-filters with cutoff and resonance
- Draw your own wavetables
- Drawable modulation matrixes
- 128 note polyphony
- automation of all parameters (except for the user-wavetable and modulation matrixes)
- Option to render bandlimited, aliasing-free sounds (aliasing can be turned on to produce vintage digital sounds)
- Spectrographs of the wavetables you draw
- Snapshots of your wavetables for faster editing
Visit CableGuys for more information and a link to download Curve v0.5b, additional presets and demo mp3s.
I usually don’t spend more than a few hours on these contest entries, which means I rarely get the result I’m looking for.
The Boards of Hollandia track turned out way too clean sounding for that particular style… A scratchy record and more background sounds would’ve been a good idea indeed.
Thanks for listening!

I rather liked your Boards of Canada clone — it is actually a lot more musically textured than most of their stuff.
If you really wanted to completely ape that style, you could just record the run out groove of a scratchy record and mix it in with the drums and roll off the high end. And it isn’t until the end that you jump on their main trick — a slow LFO on pads so they drift about 10 cents every couple of seconds, like you’re playing a record with an off center spindle hole.
Oh, and record a schoolyard with children playing, and run it through agressive telephone EQ and loop it underneath with a slow LFO on the volume level.
