New in 2011, Curtis 2.1 adds a keyboard along with XY pads for even better touch control! Turn any recorded sound into a synthesizer!
The keyboard controls the grain cycle length to match standard twelve-tone tuning. However, the content of the source sound file at the current time point along with other parameters will determine the pitchiness of the sound heard. When the time point is static, Curtis behaves like a wavetable synth. When you pinch to create a grain range or apply the time LFO, things get.. stranger.
Two new XY pads control pitch and time LFO’s for still more wonk. The horizontal axis controls LFO frequency, while the vertical controls its depth. One wiggles the source point in the audio file, the other wiggles grain size, which in many cases corresponds to pitch.
We also gave the interface a twice-over, greatly improving multi-touch performance. Now you can apply all kinds of fingers and toes to the sound mangling craft.
We hope you’ll enjoy these new additions!
- • keyboard control for chromatic mode
- • pitch and position LFO modulation
- • much multi-touchier
- • improved pitch slew behavior
