UVI Falcon - hybrid instrument - version 3.01 released - rumors, ads, praise, mud wrestling and off-topic inside!

[mtelesha]

Hi
Just picked up Falcon and was trying to link a filter cutoff knob to Amp velocity in a ocillator.
I right clicked on the filter cutoff knob but don't see a link to velocity any where.
Thanks for any help with this . . .

It has to be at the keygroup level in order for that option to be available.

This is the number one Synthesizer to read the manual. The manual is well written and it saves hours and hours of frustration. Falcon's system is just that a system and it is very straight forward once you learn it, but you can't just jump in and learn friendly. Spend a few hours going through it and you will know Falcon very well. Watch the UVI Tutorials and I really liked Venus Theory's pad tutorial.

Falcon isn't the easiest but it is the best-documented one to learn how to use.

That’s right on the money, the Falcon manual is excellent. Kontakt has a good manual too, well sectioned with screenshots, so it’s no surprise a competitor followed their lead.

Blame no EXS on
1) Apple (They bought the EXS format and have kept it closed)
2) Closed systems. As musicians, I am still so sad to see the disregard to open standards

There is EXS support, just a few bugs in it. Agreed, at least EXS is not as walled off as NI has made Kontakt files, IK, Best Service etc. etc. etc. Most libraries are not able to be exploited at all as raw resources.

Plus, the Falcon Manual has a dark version!

@dev you really should put that iLok additional installer thingy optional (leave it checked for new users but just offer the option to disable it). Every time I get the situation in the attached picture. But is not the error, the waste is the simple fact that I just sit and watch the installer unpacking 3-5 components just to spit a "hey, sorry for the mess, your iLok software looks fine "

Have the latest Falcon release (2.1.1) installed on Win10Pro x64 and everything falls over when I right click on a preset and select ''Add to Favorites". Either I completely crash out of the DAW or in Bitwig, due to it's extra plugin isolation protection mechanism, it just crashes the plugin.

Anyone else getting this and anyone know if it's been flagged to UVI? I don't know of an official support forum where to raise it.

I always kill the installer at that point, stopping the Pace installer.
Then uninstall Bonjour.

These are useless steps for me.

I don't have any problems marking favorites (or removing the mark) in 2.1.1 standalone or as a VST in Cakewalk.
I am on Win 10 Pro version 2004.

Is there anyway to setup Falcon to browse patches via a midi cc, assigned to our hardware.. Getting sick of browsing with a mouse.

Only way i know to browse it using hardware is with Komplete Kontrol and Freelance labs NKS libraries

Right, same.. I use it in that fashion with my kkm2 61, can't believe UVI still doesn't have an option for our other controllers. thnx

Question for the Falcon Guru's, once we assign midi cc's and parameters to our midi controllers, how do we lock these settings, so when we load Falcon at any given point, the parameters are locked to the midi controller?

I have made that request to UVI support about 4 years ago. Basicly got feedback like "shut up - its our way or highway" as the reply.
Its a strange blind spot in the otherwise great company policy.
I own about 12 UVI products - I just use the "coitus interruptus" when install their stuff, i.e. interrupt the installation when it starts the iLok manager installation in the end of the process.

I dont think there is way to do this. From my knowledge, if you save parameters to one preset it would only be assigned to that one. There aren't any snapshots like Kontakt has (where you can save midi assignments for a particular library). If you want to save midi controller assignments it would have to be per preset unless something has drastically changed.

Thanks for the reply, that sucks..
