Video demo for a patch from Falcon Scapes Vol3 combining 7 abstract soundscapes and textures, selectable via key-switches, layering sampling and granular synthesis. Macro automation in LogicX, key-switches were recorded on the fly while playing the notes.

Improvising with a soundscape from Falcon Scapes Vol3, automating plenty of the available Macros in a second pass in LogicX - 100% Falcon.

Patch description:
Lower half: first segment of a crystal bowl ensemble processed with Sound Particles, running in granular mode.
Upper half: second segment of a processed crystal bowl ensemble running in granular mode layered with a multi-sampled spectralized crystal bowl synth (with dedicated volume and sample start controls), four pitches were sampled between E0–E3, a velocity-sensitive envelope is assigned to LP filter cutoff.
Overlapping split point: C3.
The granular sounds have four controls installed for grain speed/position/inverted grain size and pitch randomization (also assigned to MW), convolution reverb can be activated and mixed.
More Macros are installed for controlling delay/chorus/limiter FX.

Falcon Scapes Vol3 focusses on long evolving soundscapes and drones, musical beds, wavetable-based pads, sound effects and other electronic sounds. Many of the soundscape samples are several minutes long, often with a distinct tonality, some explore the more experimental, darker side of things. Often granular textures and sample maps are layered with Falcon's internal sound generators creating dense and fascinating sounds usable for a wide variety of genres. Quite a few patches make use of the new features introduced in Falcon version 1.5 (wavetable FM and frequency shifter FX).

Many of these presets are running in split mode and/or layer sound textures via key-switches. Up to 25+ Macros and switches plus the modulation wheel are assigned in each patch, many also use aftertouch, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude and pitch modulations, EQ-ing, dynamics, stereo animation, effects and more. Often complex tempo-synced modulation assignments are programmed so that these patches can provide interesting rhythmical animations. All patches use some sort of background image in the UI, split patches have colored key-zones in the Falcon keyboard for easier navigation.

Falcon Singles - Ambient Piano
An ambient take on the piano instrument using samples played on various grand and standup pianos, also inside the instrument, plucking and treating the strings with various tools. Ethereal piano clouds and tonal soundscapes meet vibrant pads and spectral sounds, warm embracing tones clash with bizarre sound effects.

Many patches use the multi-granular engine, sometimes layered with wave-table sounds and analog and additive synth tones. Samples are also used to excite the physical modeled pluck oscillator, effect modules introduced in Falcon 2.0 are often involved.

Up to 20+ Macros and switches are assigned in each patch, many presets also use the modulation wheel and aftertouch, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, EQ-ing, dynamics, stereo animation, granular parameters and more. All patches use a background image in the UI, split patches have colored key-zones in the Falcon keyboard for easier navigation.

About 50% of the sample content was borrowed from other patchpool libraries, the other half was produced especially produced for Ambient Piano.

Specs:
  • *Approximately 25 patches.
    *600+ MB of samples, 50+ wavs - up to 2+ min long
    (stereo/48 Khz/24 Bit), several wavetables and background images for the UI.
    *The content is not encrypted, so you can use the samples and wavetables in other samplers and synths or directly in your DAW.
    *ETA: 2nd half of January, a first draft of this library is already available to all customers.
    *Delivery: download (zip)
    *Pre-order price: € 18 EUR
    *Price on release: € 23 EUR
    *Requires the full version of Falcon 2.03 or higher, does not work with the UVI player.

1:14-16 of epic melancholy really caught my ear.
Nice patch.

Thanks.
