Why on earth do we have 2 of these threads, this thread was meant to be a feedback thread (that's what the OP suggested anyway) but now everybody is posting the same questions twice in both threads, that's totally bananas.

My questions: Can Falcon load the factory presets of Motu Mach Five 3?
I would be very happy for an answer.
Yes, it can, it loads all programs made with M5 without a problem as all old oscillators and filters are still on board.

Goes even beyond my expectations in this

.. Loads not only my User Presets (.M5p) but also my User Multis (.M5m)
I had been reading with somewhat amused scepticism when I saw so many people referring to Falcon as "Mach Five 4"... but this does indeed seem to be the case!

(While messing around briefly, I have encountered a couple of "Missing Sample" alerts.. but it is quite possible that, in my haste, I chose some old presets (some of them date back to Mach Five v1!) that might not even load properly into Mach Five 3 either

.. I'll double-check those out tomorrow)
Anyways.. totally delighted here

Are there free Mach 5 presets available for download? Do the presets need any other resource files, etc. to be used in Falcon?
I don't have Falcon yet and never used Mach 5.

It was indeed a bad Mach Five 3 preset.. Not Falcon's fault at all

.

Maybe interesting to note that Falcon seems to use about the same amount of CPU as Mach Five 3, for the same presets. (I am already pretty certain that Mach Five 3 only needs to stay on my machine now for backwards compatibility with old Projects

)

Does anyone know if Falcon supports undo from the host, Ableton Live, for example, or from its own interface when running as a plug-in?

Hi Tom,

How can select multiple wav. files to drag and drop them into the sampler ?, I tried all the keys combination and nothing , please help !!! thanks guys ![/quote]

Shift + click in the inlined treeview browser.
You can do that from the system Finder/Explorer as well

Regarding the Favorite thingy, will check on Monday.

edit: nice typo fixed

[/quote]

Awesome thanks ! Works !!! yeahhhhh thanks[/quote]

Can I chance the settings for the "Double-click" function ?, will be great if sounds could load on "one click" at least giving us the option to choose from...somebody knows about this if is an option and how to set it up ? thanks guys !![/quote]

YESSSSSSSSSS SINGLE CLICK PLEAAAAAAAAAASSEEE

Seems that allot of these cons are fixed in version 2?
How is your overall feel about the CPU footprint?

Also, would it be able to go to the next preset in row by cc command?

PROS :

1)resizeable GUI as well as being able to hide the left and right menus is a huge plus

2) The sound quality is excellent and the filters are quite nice.

3) Incorporation of my existing UVI instruments was a piece of cake and I actually prefer to use the instruments in Falcon because they have new life now with all the added fx and features

4)Have not had a single crash , glitch or bug as of yet (only 4 hours of use so far)

5)I've read that you can import the wavetables from Serum into Falcon which will expand the synth's sounds

6)The GUI is clean and the module are tidy

7)The option to load a loop and set it a slices

8)CPU usage does not seem to be as bad as some other current VST synths

CONS:

1) Falcon can get busy in a hurry and trying to find things will take some time ( it will be a somewhat steep learning curve for beginners)

2) The menu system can be a bit much at times, back and forth .

3)I would prefer a drag and drop system for adding devices , samples etc. You can drag and drop some things but it would be much faster and easier to drag in what you want from a list.

4) Yes ,you can slice loops , but I would like to see more capabilities added for mangling loops or adjusting individual elements independently and easily . I plan to spend a lot of time figuring out what can be done in regards to this .

5) The manual is decent but does not go in depth much.

6)It would be great if there was an fx version of Falcon to be used in your DAW as a multieffect unit , but that is unavailable at this time . Maybe in a future update?

Overall , I'm glad I picked this up . It breathes new life into my existing UVI instruments as well as giving options for creating your own synths and making new instruments from samples . Many different types of synthesis incorporated into one machine , while having almost endless creative possibilities. The sound quality is very good and this is just the beginning of what is already a great synth workstation. Falcon is it's own blend of unique things though and really can't be compared with the likes of Serum and Kontakt as many are doing. On some levels it is a bit a both , but it is also something very different too. I can only imagine what the updates to Falcon will bring in the future .
Great review Paul! I concur!

You can find a sub modulation : via

And the ratio can be mod by layer or program level.

UVI FALCON - My comments on it & to those who actually OWN it, what do you think of it so far?
