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

FWIW, Falcon handles true Stereo impulses responses

You can either use two stereo samples named .L and .R
or a 4 channel file.

Whats the maximum length for an Impulse Response?

Okay, but then what I would have to do in order to solve this problem is put the bass program on a different MIDI channel, correct?

I haven't thought this through at all, but one way you can definitely use the same midi channel is by using multiple programs in a multi.

That is exactly what I am doing and it doesn't work.

Programs 1 -3 are the 3 drums patches, kick, snare and hi hat.

Program 4 is the bass patch.

Everything is mapped out the way it should be. I play C0 to B1 and only the drums play. I play C2 to C8 and only the bass plays. But if I try to play both together (4 separate programs, not just 4 layers) the bass retriggers the arp pattern with each note I play.

I have the same issue. Even when there is nothing mapped elsewhere and i press an "empty key" the sequence stops.

Now, my question is this.

Is that a bug or is that a limitation of our DAWs, Falcon or both?

I don´t think so. Omnisphere also works only this way when i split the midi channels!
I think we have to do it in Falcon too then.

Okay, I figured out how to do this in Cubase. It's not exactly elegant but it works. I'll assume that each DAW has a similar functionality.

Step 1) Duplicate the Falcon track. Yes, you'll need two tracks to pull this off.

Step 2) For the first track, go into MIDI modifiers and set the Note Filter range for track 1. The filter range will be where you want the notes to start cutting off, not play.

Step 3) Repeat step 2 for the 2nd track.

Step 4) Highlight BOTH tracks so that when you're playing your keyboard you're triggering both MIDI ranges, the one for track 1 and the one for track 2.

Step 5) Play both splits and you'll find that the one doesn't cut off the other when triggered.

Like I said, I'll assume that each DAW has a similar functionality.

I just wonder even when i use 2 midi channels for a multi it always triggers just midi channel 1 or omni.
In Omnisphere f.e. it works like it should (or i think like it should work).

I haven't tried splits in Omni with arps. With standard patches, it works fine as long as I designate the ranges for each patch in the setup.

Maybe I'll try an arp split and see if I have the same problem.

I can't seem to modulate filter cutoff with ADSR envelopes! Wut gives?

Arps working perfect in Omnisphere too. I just set the range for each midi channel and the others will not trigger them...... that brings me to another feature request. Splits via midi cc and velocity like in Omnisphere are fantastic. So that i can change which sounds are triggered via modwheel on the fly f.e. Not sure if Falcon can do this?!?

In Omnisphere that works perfect.... also i would like to have midi cc and velocity splits in Falcon. So i can f.e. change the sounds i trigger via modwheel on the fly. Yep, Omnisphere is unbetable here!

[SJ_Digriz]

is there a reason you can't trigger in a different keygroup so the retrigger setting doesn't over-ride your intention?

Do it on keygroup level.

Oh. Derpy derp. Thanks Simon

[Cinebient]

What i really miss is a kind of tag system for patch browser. If you have someday a few thousands patches it will be terrible to search just via basic things like pad, bass etc. or going trough folders and sub-folders and sub-sub-folders etc.
Or did i just miss it somewhere. Then i´m sorry!
