Unfortunately there isn't one yet because none, apart from the factory bank, were designed for Falcon specifically.

Good that Falcon supports microtonal keymapping but where do you find .kbm files in the first place? They do not seem to be on the Scala site.

You mean the script ?
because, you can easily do that using the OS finder/explorer

Yes, I can load it from the OS browser, but it would be much easier to do it from here. Just a convenience thing. Not a big deal.

.kbm files says which mapping is used so usually it's up to the end user
Those are text file.

Here are some for common use cases

Thanks, that I knew, I never used workstation thought so I was hoping under the hood it had at least a little Falcon. I guess not.

It has parts of it for sure - just not the new stuff. But as far as I can see the UVI libraries seems to be mainly sample based, not sure if any even use things like the analog and FM oscs for example.

So you just need to first bind the parameter to an automation in Falcon, then use Live facility to see automation.

I understand that. What I was saying is that I cannot bind the parameter. I do what I normally do with other VST's that have too many parameters...put Live in Configuration mode and click the parameter I wish to change and it appears. Not with Falcon. Nothing happens.

Of course now it crashes Live so I will have to wait on this one...Ableton and UVI have been sent crash logs.

So I maxed out my coupons by buying early and buying from Best Service, essentially got $200 in coupons for $29. But, I really really really have always wanted the IRCAM Prepared Piano, so I still ended up giving UVI more money! Dammit you win again UVI!

Well you can.
Just select a keygroup and change the oscillator type by clicking its header (the one with the oscillator type)
You can as well batch this when there is multiple keygroups selected using the batch button where the oscillator editor used to be.

For me, clicking the the oscillator type header (where it says "SAMPLE", to the right of the power button) just contracts or expands the view of the oscillator details. Am I clicking the wrong thing?

You have to looooong click, then the menu expands.

Ah, thanks again Simon!

I cannot reproduce the crash here.
Could you try uninstall and reinstall it ?

Thanks !

Wasn't able to reproduce it so far unfortunately.
Could you give me back your ticket number please ?

Thanks !

UVI Falcon - v4 = 2026 released - rumors, ads, praise, kindergarden, auto-sampling and off-topic inside!
