Movement and coloration: auto-pan, filtering, Doppler and a reactive echo driven by a trajectory you can hand-draw. Great on vocals, synths, guitars, drums, pads and FX.

Does CURVA work in Pro Tools?

Yes. CURVA ships a PACE-signed AAX alongside AU, VST3 and Standalone.

Will CURVA hurt my mono compatibility?

No. Width is true mid/side and Low Anchor keeps the low end centred. At Mix = 0 it is an exact bypass.

Movement & Coloration

CURVA turns any sound into a swerving shot
across the stereo field.

Launch a flight, pick your keeper — your sound pans, brightens and pitch-glides all at once, in a single kick. Your sound becomes the football, bending inside your DAW.

Go on — draw something.

Why football?

It started with a free kick.

CURVA was born on a sofa. World Cup, 89th minute, a free kick curling around the wall, heading for goal. Think about that flight path — what if it were a curve of sound? Out on the pitch, the climb and the dip, the split second it whips past the wall — it all just happens, completely naturally.

Nobody drew any automation.

Back in the studio, recreating that one second takes three automation lanes — and probably a modulation matrix on top. What if the pitch could live inside your DAW? So we went ahead and built it: the field is the control surface, and playing is how you stumble into flights you’d never think of.

Pretty much the original concept sketch.

The idea

Turn the stereo field into a pitch.

Most movement plugins hand you an LFO and a rate knob. CURVA hands you a football pitch. Your sound is the ball: left to right is pan, height is brightness, the rise and fall is Doppler. Kick the ball and the sound moves. The flight is the sound. If you can read football, you already know how to operate CURVA.

MOVE · the flight

One flight. Three moves at once.

Kick the ball and three things happen to your sound at once.

Two modes: MOVE can strike on your DAW’s tempo, or give every track its own timing; Kick turns every transient into a shot, with Attack and Release to shape how each one launches and settles.

Pan

The ball crosses the pitch, your sound crosses the room. Left is left, right is right — and you never draw a line of pan automation.

Brightness

As the shot climbs, the tone opens up; as it drops, it darkens. High balls ring bright — low, flat drives stay dark.

Doppler

The sound of something whipping past your ear — pitch rises on the approach, falls as it leaves, like a car speeding by on a wet road. How hard the ball bends is up to you.

The squad

You’ve got a squad.

Four strikers load their playing styles into your knobs — Curly bends big banana curves, Rocket hits flat and heavy, Lofty floats gorgeous high lobs, Jinx does whatever Jinx wants. Or hand over control: Chaos makes every one of the striker’s flights land at random, and Defend gives the keeper a mind of his own — a save you never asked for, right when the track needs one.

Curly

Big banana curves.

Rocket

Flat and heavy.

Lofty

Gorgeous high lobs.

Jinx

Whatever Jinx wants.

SAVE · the goalkeeper

The goalkeeper answers back.

Every shot you hit, the keeper answers. Switch Save on and he can intercept the ball and parry it back into the field; drag him along the pitch and you’re dragging where the echo lands. Five keepers — and once each one gets a glove on the ball, he answers with a sound and character all his own.

Classic

The classic save. One clean echo.

Wall

One dead thud, then silence — like a Gate. The boom-then-cut of a ball hitting a brick wall.

Turbo

A bright, fast slapback.

Bounce

The ball goes L, R, L, R — the shot turns into a ping-pong across the goalmouth that keeps the attack alive.

Phantom

A haunted save, with Shimmer you can set yourself — float it up an octave and let it drift away, or shape the drift however you hear it.

DRAW

Draw the shot. Hear it fly.

Pick up the pencil and freehand a flight nobody could ever kick. The path records in the order you draw it — so it can reverse, loop back, cross itself. Whatever you draw is what the sound flies. Lock it when it’s right, and it saves with your session.

The demo above is live. Pick Manual and draw one.

Scenes

The sound follows the time of day.

Switch between the moments of a match day — each one carries its own analog-style colour, and the sound changes the instant you switch. It’s loudness-matched, so changing scenes compares tone. Nothing on this UI is only visual.

The scouting report

57 set pieces, scouted for you.

Our team tuned every preset to its material: 808 Dive-Bomb really dives, Stepovers really climbs the stairs, Phantom Cathedral genuinely haunts. They ship with a hand-drawn flight already on the field — load one, hear how the preset shapes its sound, then open the pitch and try designing a ball path of your own.

Questions

Is CURVA really free?

Yes — completely free. No licence key, no trial countdown, no catch. Download it and use it forever.

What is CURVA for?

A football-inspired movement and coloration effect: auto-pan, filter and Doppler in one, plus a multi-setting echo — all driven by a ball-flight trajectory you can draw by hand. Great on vocals, synths, guitars, drums, pads and FX transitions.

Does it work in Pro Tools?

Yes. CURVA supports AAX, shipped alongside AU, VST3 and Standalone.

Will it mess up my mono compatibility?

No. Width is true M/S, and with Low Anchor on, the low end stays locked to the centre. At Mix = 0 it’s a full bypass.
