    ......ridiculous?


    From the site:
    "- The beta currently ships with almost no presets.
    - This beta corresponds to a demo version.
    Saving presets in your host is disabled,
    and you cannot set your presets to private
    they're always uploaded when you sync the database."
    Code:
    http://www.cableguys.de/curve-2.html
    :rofl:
    This is just ridiculous, how to save the presets for
    that contest with a cropped beta product???

    Or did i misunderstand something?....

    Maybe you can just save the presets "online" in their database, not locally.

    Indeed, that info was a bit misleading. Thanks for pointing it out!

    I've just changed the text on Curve 2's website to this:

    - The beta currently ships with almost no presets. You'll get many presets when you open the preset browser and click "Sync", though.
    - This beta corresponds to a demo version. Saving presets in your host is disabled, but you can add your presets to Curve's internal preset browser.

    Yes, little bit too expensive its price.
    Years ago i bought ABSYNTH4 for 149€, but that one was coming with a huge sound library + all the manuals.
    I bought the Boxed version.

    Thanks for your INFO, Jakob!
    :wink:

    i find it kind of overpriced for that sound i got and yeah not that great i think. lets whats presets they add.

    absynth has a lot more feature as this one imo - its still pure gold - was thinking of buying but - ive got to much stuff here :rofl: they should really reduce the stuff to 90 or 80€ then more ppl would buy it or not?!

    i got also dcam as they had that big sales in november :)
    then sylenth1, dune, massive, FM8, sytrus, - what im really keen on is Zebra2 now - but thats so fk expensive with VAT on it. also looked on karmafx - quite good for some special things.
    but today its also quite hard to stay alive - there are so much vsts plugin out there. well i hope they can make some good money with it :)

    well maybe ill give this a shot soon when ive got more time ... was kind of fast looking thru the plugin.

    You're welcome to find it too expensive. I propose to give it a try, as Curve 2 has some unique features (waveform and envelopes drawing, shared preset database, it's easy to use, etc).

    Curve 2 does not have a huge sound library yet - but it's constantly growing. If a big sound library is what you're after, I propose that you wait until the final Curve 2.0 release - users and our sound designers will have shared tons of presets by then, and it will get more after the release.

    To the manuals: People sometimes ask for a manual, but it seems it's only because they're used to it. It's hardly ever because something is not understood with Curve. We are doing hallway tests (inviting people to use it and we watch them doing so to find the usability issues), and we believe that we came up with a software that is simple to use. Give it a try!

    Concerning pricing: you might also want to look at the Cableguys Bundle - that's all plugins for 149 EUR/199 USD (Curve 1 + free upgrade to Curve 2, VolumeShaper 3, FilterShaper 2, MidiShaper).

    I have the latest version of curve 2 and only 5 pages of presets. When I click on sync, I get an error. I removed the paid version. Installed a demo one too but the error is still the same. I reinstalled the paid version but nothing changes. How do I get access to all the presets? Im using macbook pro and ableton live.

    I notice there's an additive looking histogram at the top that changes based on the curve you draw. Can you also edit the histogram?
