Oh wow - some of these pads are just some of the most heartachingly beautiful pads I've played

That's beautiful, Stephen - thank you!

EDIT: towards the end it sounds distorted in a not intended way though, did you push it too hard or was that intended?

Just wanted to say I love your granular granular synthesis work in this. Awesome stuff!

Thank you very much.
If I had to reduce myself to a single synthesis form it would most probably be granular synthesis, followed by spectral resynthesis, sampling, wavetable, additive, FM, VA. Fortunately this is not going to happen

I was playing rather emotionally and was just 'in the flow' so it could be, maybe I need to re-render it and drop the vol level a little (not very good at the mixing thing - what is best?)

Oh and thanks, coming from you that means a lot to me

(Edit - OK reuploaded with reduced levels - seems Tracktion had rendered it at +12Db for some reason)

How many of those can Falcon do?

Granular
Sample based
Wavetable
VA
FM
Simple physical modelling (pluck)
very simple additive drawbar organ osc

Oh how could I forget physical modelling, well that makes it even harder to determine my preference list.

As simple as the pluck oscillator in Falcon may seem, it does produce some very expressive/interesting/exotic timbre, especially when using long sustained textural samples as input source for the exciting the resonators and then combining the pluck osc with the plethora of Falcon filters and effects. Also using velocity as modulation source to modulate numerous parameters in the pluck osc can produce much more than plucked or sustained string sounds - of course it's not as versatile as e.g. Chromaphone but I'm curious to see where the UVI developers will take this oscillator in the future.

Much better! What's fascinating with this track: it just keeps on evolving, combining tonality and atonality in an unpredictable, emotional, very appealing way - really good!

Thankyou, this is such an amazing and inspiring soundset - one of your best imho

I agree with everyone else. This is just what Falcon needed! Wonderful work, Simon.

I love the use of fm in these presets!

A Falcon user asked on youtube which sounds were used in the Purity7 demo, so I might as well paste my answer here:

The main bell sequence uses the preset Bell Plucker, the second instruments (bass ostinato and some chords) uses FM Purity Pluck, the patch Triangle Synth provides the high fluttering sounds in the third Falcon instance.

If you're a LogicX user, you can download the demo project here: https://www.patchpool.net/Sounds/Falcon ... LogicX.zip
Requires Logic 10.3 - I just uploaded it after reading your request.
