some are lush there for me too, so strange you don t find falcon lush , maybe we don t use the same module inside, falcon still has a more unic sound than all these synths, beeing "romplers" or emulation.. it s hard to find a new digital synth with a strong unic caractere to me, it s one of the strenght, like nord leads 4 i was listening, nothing sound like it.

I don't have PP but I watched quite a bit about it.spoontechnique wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 9:01 pm Why can't you have powerful modulation and powerful synthesis engines? Phase Plant and others certainly do it.
Certainly very powerful in what it does (way more powerful than distinct Falcon modules) but very limited overall compared to Falcon.
A great sound design tool, but a lot less of a musical instrument, compared to Falcon (and I think this is one of the biggest strenghts of Falcon).

I think people are conflating oscillators with sound. Because of Falcons powerful modulating and layering, you could really give your sounds whatever feeling you want - except maybe the classic "FM from B" dubstep growl since Falcon's FM capabilities are pretty limited (that'd be crazy awesome if it opened up).

For what it's worth, a few years ago I compared the sound of the same samples with Kontakt and with the free UVI Workstation, which I believe is the origin of Falcon's sample playback engine. I found the sound of UVI Workstation to be much better.
Also Ircam Stretch gives better results than the other stretch engines I tried, including non real-time.

Falcon is probably the least preset synth I know. It's a sandbox. The first vst synth that feels like it's not intentionally restricted... It's a blank canvas. And it sounds okay. A bit clean, sterile even, compared to U-he's stuff and Omnisphere, those has their own fingerprint. I wish that (maybe) upcoming Zebra3 will have somewhat same workflow and possibilities than Falcon...

Oh please God no!!
Zebra's workflow is far superior to Falcon's, in my opinion. It would be a significant regression if it took any "ideas" from Falcon.
While Falcon is capable and all, it's workflow is definitely not one of it's strong suits.

agree but zebra with all the feature of falcon would be hard to use as well with that user interface

Fantastic. Probably the best granular engine around at the moment imo.kobal wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 8:59 pmgranular seems great also, but i m not specialist.Widowsky wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 5:38 pmFor what it's worth, a few years ago I compared the sound of the same samples with Kontakt and with the free UVI Workstation, which I believe is the origin of Falcon's sample playback engine.

Oscillators can contribute to the sound, it's not the only thing of course.functionform wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 5:16 pm I think people are conflating oscillators with sound.
