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

Here is a Falcon script called "Traveler" that I have been developing for a while. It presents a grid (up to 12x12) with rovers that travel through the grid bouncing off obstacles and emitting notes when reflecting off walls. A "happy accident" machine.

This is the first of a few different sequencers on the workbench. Consider this a beta release. Comments, crits, and usability suggestions warmly welcomed.


Script is available here:

brilliant just like ur plugs...immediately made me wonder what it would sound like if you used the boid algorithm for a note grid...like you did for grains in ur granular delay...have you thought about trying that? lol...what are any philosophical differences between this and nova?

The Falcon script processors are restricted to processing MIDI only .. no audio .. but a Boids-like script could manipulate CC values which could then be assigned by the user to modulate other controls in the program .. hmm .. adding that to the idea pool. Thanks!

There are two philosophical differences between this Traveler script and Nova3: fewer options (limitation fosters creativity), and rovers do not change direction when colliding with other rovers (makes for much steadier note patterns).

Suggestions @tonecarver:

- For the Automation of root pitch: It would be nice if instead of a number (60 e.g.) the automation value would be the name of the root note (C3). But I do not know if this is possible at all or if this is prohibited by Falcon or LUA (or Live).

The display in the script should be showing the note name (C3, D#4, etc). Are you seeing a number for the root pitch? Or are you referring to the value of the automation lane in Live? If it is the automation lane in Live there isn't anything I can do about that. Maybe someone more familiar with Live has a suggestion there .. ?

Thanks for the quick feedback on my suggestions, and, more importantly, for creating this sequencer! I am looking forward to playing with it.

On the automation for root pitch:
In Falcon it is displayed with the note name as you intended. I was referring to the automation lane in Live which is displayed in numbers for the root pitch. The automation lane for the scale displays the full name in Live though, that is why I wondered if the same could be done without too much trouble for the root pitch. It is no big deal to not have it for the root pitch.

The only feature request I find myself wanting for this is the ability to move the wall pitch offset sliders in smaller increments. I forget what the term for that is... when you hold Ctrl or Shift on Windows and then drag. Other than that, this is fantastic. Seriously easy at creating really interesting arpeggios. Thanks! Also, as someone else mentioned you've released other plugins before, where can I find them?

[cake builder]

That looks very cool, I'm going to have to download it.

When I bought Falcon, I was hoping there would be a decent amount of independent users crafting things like this, but I haven't really seen any. Maybe I just don't know where to look?

Left-clicking on a control and dragging should work to move the controls incrementally. On my setup (Windows) using the mouse wheel on the rootPitch control bumps the value by 3 semitones. A bit annoying but I have not found a workaround, so I stick to click-and-drag.

You might be able to find some of my old plugins around .. Nova3, Boids, Delay8, MbiraGen, tcStretch, tcArpGen .. search for "ToneCarver VST" perhaps. I quit developing them several years ago and did not do a good job of keeping up to date copies of them.

Here is the Turing Machine script for UVI Falcon. This script is inspired by the various types of Turing Machine modules available in modular synth racks, VCV Rack etc. The script generates random or semi-random sequences of notes quantized to the (western) scale degrees in the selected min/max note range.

Download the ZIP file from the github repo and unpack into your UVI\Falcon\User Presets\EventProcessors\Script Processor folder.

Wow! This is what i wished for Falcon. Thank you for such a great tool!

Congratulations ! Sounds good.
Looks like you have clearly found your way in the UVI script.

Great Job- UVI should ship this with Falcon!

Composed a track using only Falcon. All in all 11 instances.

Please enjoy.

I have uninstalled a Falcon/UVI instrument, but it's still listed in the search tab. Can I somehow reset or reindex that database?
