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

I’d like to be able to insert an ADSR-controlled filter on a layer and then it actually filters the layer. Easily. Without searching the internet for three days.

I’ve lost hours trying to understand how this mut#@fu€kin filter could finally filter my layer, and I succeedeed once or twice, but the next time I needed to add one I just forgot !! There are layers everywhere, it’s not the only synth I’m using, I’m not making presets every single day for Falcon !...

Something is definitely wrong with the workflow.

Maybe... if an action produces nothing anywhere, it could be grayed or something... you end up inserting filters at every level and adding virtual connexions in every direction hoping to find the right one... and nothing changes anything...

And the weird thing is that nearly everything else seems super intuitive to me. Excepted two things. Where to find the "expansions" (I mean the purchased external soundbanks, I always open five to seven menus before I find them), and this Hell of a filter !

Looks like that is not possible. On the bottom of page 18 of the manual it says "NOTE: Triggering envelopes only work on KEYGROUPS level, not on LAYER nor PROGRAM level."

Well yeah, and still you’re free to insert one at the level you like, connect the virtual cables, and enjoy NOTHING !

Not what I’d call "intuitive"...
Falcon : a powerful synth where you can even do thousands of things that produce strictly nothing.

And why couldn’t I filter a layer, in the first place ? To get more dynamic results, I’d love my lower layers to be ADSR-filtered sometimes.

Sorry : this filter thing is wrongly implemented or I don’t get a thing.

Oh btw : still my main and favourite sampler. If I didn’t care I wouldn’t be here talking about things that could be better.

I've mentioned this before, but could we please get a wet/dry control on the vowel filter? I know it's possible to do with the effects rack, but it creates a lot of mess used at the keygroup level over multiple samples.

Try this:

Program Mode Workaround:

The fact that only the Keygroup level captures the pressed midi keys. The upper levels (Layer,
Program) are not.
Now, if you want to place a filter, you can do it at Keygroup level and add the envelope at that level and it works as you may expect.
For the same effect but at the upper levels, there is a workaround, read carefully:
- place the filter at Progam level
- place a Gain module at Keygroup level and deactivate it
- add modulation (new analog ADSR) for the Gain module AT PROGRAM LEVEL and change the trigger mode to Legator
- finally, modulate the Filter at Program level witht the new ADSR you created at the same
Program level
Explanation: the envelope gets triggered because it is associated to a parameter in Keygroup level and it further triggers any other destinations (in this case the cutoff)

Thank you very, very much. Will copy this as a textfile on my desktop.

There is another way (which is more idiomatic to how a Falcon patch is structured): select all keygroups in your layer, add a filter at Keygroup level, modulate its cutoff with an envelope. Done.

nevermind...

I'm running the latest Falcon 3.1.0 (and I've installed the Tag Library). For some reason, some patches appear twice or even three times in the redesigned search browser and this is very confusing. This was also the case in the previous version of Falcon.

Is there a way to "reset the database" of Falcon in order to reindex everything from scratch? Thanks.

[trusampler]

Weird, I can't find any information on how to even get started with the 3.1 update, where's the install for the tag library for Windows ?


Nvm I found it using the portal

[avinashmeetoo]

I've seen some references to a "Reset Database" function in UVI Workstation but I can't find the corresponding function in Falcon. Does it exist?

I think the original factory and factory for the new 3 had the same patches but they sounded slightly different, maybe you have both factory libraries loaded?

RE: 2013* i7 Macbook air (previously refered to as a 2011)
My actual performance was not degraded when Undo function first appear.
Nor when other major updates appear. Amazing.
The HX series did however slow the old girl down.
I cant wait to get an M4 for Falcon. (just for Falcon)

[newuser2014]

I just realized I have never modulated the attack time of any of my patches. I knew I wasn't understanding the Envelopes in an organic way. I have never done the short(er) attack/lower filter and longer attack opening up the filter.
I mean "on the fly" realtime. A newly heard musical synth line and understood .
