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

Any news on Falcon going multi-core?

Technically Falcon is already multi core aware. IR verb, streaming and other stuff are already multi threaded.

If you mean the audio rendering, this is not happening in a near future.
It's best to use multiple instance of the plugin itself and use the multi core feature of your DAW.
This is more optimised this way in any case.

Thanks for this info @otristan
My alternative would be to use Falcon in Unify.

If you find some way to reproduce those, I will have another look when I get back from vacation.
The one I have fixed was that for unknown reasons, Logic was calling the chunk saving from non main thread when using Logic own plugin popup menu (copy/paste plugin preset) while at the same time blocking the main thread.
I suspect that Logic still have some issue as well on the M1 platform though.

Thanks !

Same thing here, and also with the UVIWorkstation.
I cannot find a way to reproduce yet.
It looks like it's a window focus issue though, like mentioned before.
Using Falcon/workstation, clicking in the arrange window and clicking back in the Falcon window freezes logic sometimes but the audio still keeps playing.

Bonne fin de vacances

Yes, it doesn't happen simply as a result of one action, which gives me the impression it might be something to do with either Logic, Falcon or both at the same time creating a back up/undo record as a background task, and there being some incompatibility, as though they're trying to access memory made innaccessable, or such like.

my MIDI controller(Arturia Keylab Essential 61) doesn't work with Falcon.
i put a checkmark on the controller in settings but it doesn't work.
i'm using the latest version. i can play notes in Vital and Surge XT.
does anyone know why?

Check if Falcon (the slot/part you're using) is set to the correct Midi channel or just set it to Omni.

setting it to omni made it work, thank you so much!

I'm also getting crashes a lot on M1, both in Big Sur and Monterey (in Logic). I get the impression it's something to do with the undo function, recently added. It happens more in heavy projects, but also in relatively low resource-intensive ones. Basically, when tweaking a parameter with GUI open I get the spinning wheel of death, until the DAW is force-terminated. It's actually making it rather hard to use Falcon right now, making me have to reach for alternative instruments.

When you say undo, you mean that you use Falcon own undo button ?
Or just that you change lots of parameter and think this is related ?
Thanks !

[otristan]

Found it !! At least, I've fixed one that was indeed ARM only.

The arm code is different because Apple changed some stuff specifically on ARM
( if you are interested https://forum.juce.com/t/bug-popup-menu ... icon/43243 )

We will release a new version this week and will see how this goes.

Thanks !

The latter, it was just speculation on my part, since the problem seems to occur unrelated to any specific action, as though a background process connected to GUI manipulation triggers it.

Great, though I don't know how a colour/transparency issue could be related to hanging? There's definitely some issues in Logic or AU implementation. I've not had this problem using Waveform with VST plugins in native mode.

In order not to have transparency issue, the popup is not added to the desktop but to the top level widget which triggered a double deletion issue

Organic Keys came out in March. That was 5 months ago.
