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

Is there a way to save or export/import keygroups? I remember wanting this on Mach Five 3 so imagined Falcon at version 2 would have it...

There is a keygroup template feature.
Check the mapping view menu "Save Keygroup template"

I agree with the sentiment that the UI (hunting stuff in the dreaded tree view) would benefit a lot from a general overhaul - except I have no clue how this much modularity could be harnessed in a friendlier way...

On the other hand: Thanks to UVI for making Falcon more and more mighty. What one gets as a free "minor" update would surely warrant a .5 version jump (possibly an upgrade fee) elsewhere. Nice one!

Loving the update. Is there a way to have layers respond to different midi channels in a part?

Put the whole part in omni and a wrap a quick script to limit to one channel each layer

Code: Select all

local channel = Knob{"MIDIChannel", 1, 1, 16, true, displayName = "MIDI Channel"}

function onEvent(e)
	if e.channel == channel.value then
		postEvent(e)
	end
end

Thanks!

I'll give it a go.

Anyone have an optinion on stand out packs for Falcon?

Thinking of jumping on teh current sale and am unsure about what packs to get. Thinking about Plurality and Cinematic Shades

Obviously depends what you're into, but the one pack that I have that is pretty unique is Voklm which offers a really varied range of different vocal patches

Thanks WatchTheGuitar,

That's a fair point but I was just wondering if there were packs that I hadn't considered properly, like the one you have suggested. i'll check it out.

Volkm has a lot of unique sounds, I'm finding. I listened to all the demo tracks first, and it has plenty more. I'm for sure going to use it.

Pulsar is pretty cool for me, too. It has particularly some foley/texture sounding presets in a number of the preset categories. I can't for sure say I'll use it. I don't remember what its theme is--or what is under the hood--as it has a range of disparate sounds.

[WatchTheGuitar]

The idea of Voklm put me off initially as it seemed very niche, but when you start playing with it and listening to the presets you realise most of the time it doesn't even sound like a voice - there's so much processing on especially at the ambient, droney end of things.

Must say it's a shame we can't demo UVI stuff and have to rely on others posting up videos to get a feel for the different libraries and expansions.

Those two are quite good. I use Spectre, Ether Fields, Cinematic Shades, and Plurality the most of my numerous expansions. The Devine expansion is quite quirky. I was disappointed with Digital Motion. The stock library is very strong.

[nathanj]

Thanks everyone!

Was temped by the Devine one as well as the demo sounds really nice but I've always found Richard's presets and packs to be too much.

That Volkm looks great too, will need to look at more videos before I decide.

Works a treat! Thank you!

^ I love the resonance of that first string sound--gave me goosebumps.
