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

Or... maybe include them with the next update of Bloom?

Wait a minute. How does that work? Sparkverb presets work in Bloom? And they were just inadvertently put in the Bloom folder in Falcon '26? And I can copy them out of the F26 Bloom folder (if I can find it) and drop them in my user presets folder for Bloom?

If true, it would be great just to have the Halls available in Bloom.

Not really, we have tweaked those at the start of Bloom development as the parameter set of the two reverbs has some similarity. so they do not work directly. Still those are actually XML file so they can be tweaked to be opened in Blooom/Sparkverb as most of the parameter names are identical. Bloom or Sparkverb just discard the parameter they don't know so it works just fine.

You can grab those here and just copy those in Bloom user presets folder

Haven't run into the Bloom bug yet. But the addition of Bloom is pretty sweet.
Tons of great presets in there, which leads me to a question:
For those of us who actually own Bloom, is there a way to get the Falcon 2026 Bloom presets into it? There's some great rooms and halls (among other presets) that surprisingly are NOT in the actual plugin.

Gotta say, overall, loving all the great new stuff in F2026.

Oh man. Looks like I put the sparkverb presets with Bloom Flag instead of Bloom ones....
I'll fix this in next version.
You can just put those in Bloom user presets folder

BTW, can you take care of the "Set this swatch to the current color"-does-not-work-bug? I bothered support and they said, they gave it to development, but no feedback sinde three weeks.

Ah, snap! They're calling it v2026? ... No doubt, influenced by Image-Line, who also did this recently for FL Studio v2024, v2025, etc.

As an FL Studio user, I'm not really a fan of changing the product version annually, to match the current year.

I mean, what's really the point of that anyway?

[Fleer]

None, but I don’t care, as long as it’s free.

I’ve emailed both MOTU and UVI, but the VSTi3 version of 26.01 crashes Digital Performer 11.35 hard. Fortunately you can open DP with plugins disabled and delete them so I was able to save the project etc. Hopefully there’s a solution soon, Normally Falcon is rock solid in DP which makes sense considering the MachFive legacy.

Falcon 2026 chrashed a lot during preset changes here today on my M1 Mac Mini in Logic X. Very annoying. Falcon works fine with a few instances alone, but if it gets busier with arrangements and other plugins…. Boom…
I bought the Plug-in last week with a lot of Soundpacks and love the Plugin. I was a longtime Kontakt User and Falcon is my Thing now.
My Mac Mini M1 has the newest OSX and 16 GB Ram.
Any Others here with this issues at this time?

As stated right above you, similar issue in Digital Performer 11 with the VSTi3, I have not road tested the AUi as much but considering the VSTi3 version is near unusable on an M2 Studio with DP11. Anyway email UVI, and Apple if you can figure out how to. FYI this is the first version of Falcon that's been any kind of issue at all, it's normally quite stable here.

Thanks, I will do some tests tomorrow checking out if I can make the focus smaller for describing the issue and then I will send a mail to the UVI Support and Apple.

Perfect. Thanks.

Am I the only one having weird bugs with the digital EQ in this 2026 version? It seems to work whenever it wants. I add 2, 3, 4 bands, no problem. The 5th band won’t work, no matter what I’m trying (delete band, recreate new band...). So I’m adding another digital EQ instance. All is working perfectly. Another digital EQ instance? Everything is fine. Another instance? It’s not working at all...

Hmm. Can confirm issue.
Effects section.

I had few attempts to add two instances of Digital EQ in row.
With first instance i had no problem (in which i add 5 bands with differ settings, i can clearly heard changes from each).
Then i add second instance of Digital EQ, and now already with first single band i not heard it's changes no matter how extreme i make it. Then helps switch to "L" or "R" mode, and back (in bottom left side of eq). After that band starts to works\has affect to sound.

And as i said, i tried to do such similar pattern (with two DigEQ instances) couple time, and could reproduce issue all times (at second instance only).

Then after some time i become to get "non working" bands already in first instance.
Seems really like to semi-random nature. (Actually there is feeling of similar pattern character how it was with Organ module).

If need can make short video with demonstration this behavior as proof.

Fixed in next version. Was related to an uninitialized variable related to L/R only which explains why forcing it helped

I also had an effect bug when I tried to insert a Bloom reverb. Just plain nothing. At first I thought I didn’t understand how this thing works, and used the convo reverb instead, but then I encountered the Digital EQ bug.

I did check load new Bloom couple times now, did not catch non-working state yet though, but see certainly issue in his work.

Simple reproduce: just load Bloom (default state config) - we clearly hear significant predelay. Then, make Freeze button enabled and disabled again (just pick Freeze on and off). Now reverb sounds without any predelay.

Next, if now even remove Bloom and add again - will be with no predelay.

Then, if (after removing Bloom) first add, say, for example Diffusion (next fx after Bloom), remove Diffusion, and add Bloom again - we hear predelay, and able repeat this issue' pattern again.

(Win10 here)

fixed in next version

Otristan Thanks for tech responsivity ! Sounds cool.

Great update! Also recommend Venus Theory's "How to Tame Your Falcon" video on YouTube. Great intro. Here's a question. Is it possible to set default MIDI mappings for libraries?
