What is Curves & Membranes?
It is a mono synth plugin that combines Bézier waveform generation, orbital modulation, and membrane filter modelling into a compact performance-oriented interface.

Curves & Membranes
A mono synth built from Bézier wave design, orbital modulation, and a 32-membrane filter running LP/BP/HP at once.

What it is
Curves & Membranes is a mono synth plugin built around three ideas: Bézier waveform drawing, orbital two-dimensional modulation, and a membrane-based filter model. It is intentionally over-engineered under the hood, while the front panel stays direct and playable.
Instead of starting from a fixed oscillator table, the synth generates shape from controllable curves, then lets orbital modulators move that shape in two axes at the same time. The filter stage models 32 interacting membranes and resolves lowpass, bandpass, and highpass responses simultaneously, which gives motion that feels less static and more tactile.
Use it for basses that keep character at low cutoff, lead sounds that stay expressive without menu diving, and evolving mono textures that sit in modern productions without becoming brittle. It rewards simple gestures, which is the point.
Highlights
Bézier oscillator
Generate waveform shape from curves instead of static wave lists.
Orbital modulation
Move timbre in two dimensions with modulation that remains controllable.
32-membrane filter model
Lowpass, bandpass, and highpass behaviors run together for rich motion.
How producers use it
- Focused bass lines that keep body while moving in tone
- Expressive mono leads with quick modulation gestures
- Soundtrack and ambient hooks that evolve without getting messy
Fit and focus
Great fit for:
- playable mono synths with character
- shape-based synthesis workflows
- experimental DSP that still behaves in a mix
Probably not for:
- users looking for huge preset-library rompler workflows
- strictly transparent subtractive tones with no character
- complex modular patching from scratch
Questions people ask
How is it different from a typical mono synth plugin?
Most mono synths rely on conventional oscillator shapes and classic filter blocks. Curves & Membranes builds shape from curves and uses a membrane model for filter behavior, so movement feels less repetitive and more physically responsive.
Who is it for?
Producers who like strong sonic identity but still want to move quickly. If you enjoy exploratory synthesis without getting buried in routing, it fits well.
What does it do to sound?
It adds animated harmonic motion and filter behavior that can feel lively even in simple patches, while keeping notes centered and usable in real tracks.
