Metal Percussion is a collection of unusual percussive sounds build upon samples of found metal objects and rare instruments. Besides patches with multi-sampled instruments this library combines many of Falcon's synthesis methods in order to create interesting and unconventional electronic sounds, soundscapes, drones, pads, sequencer patches and granular textures often using the new oscillators and effects introduced in Falcon 3.0.
Up to 20+ Macros and switches are assigned in each patch, many also use the modulation wheel, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, time-stretching, granular parameters, EQ-ing, dynamics, stereo animation and more. All patches use some sort of background image in the UI, split patches have colored key-zones in the Falcon keyboard for easier navigation.
Sampled instruments:
- Barrel Drums.
200 liter oil barrel, multi-sampled hits at different spots of the barrel, played with all kinds of sticks, mallets and other things, also hitting a cymbal lying on top of the barrel - some electronic derivatives and 2 synced loops are also available.
*Kitchen Percussion.
Multi-sampled kitchen objects sampled with up to 8x round robin and 7 velocity layers: two cooking pots (one of them filled with water) played with various sticks, spoons and mallets, a milk foamer, a salad spinner, cutlery and a knife sharpener.
* Container Drums.
Various waste, recycling, storage and charity containers of different sizes and materials, mostly multi-sampled with round robin, many of the samples are pre-processed.
*Water Pan, Spring Drum, Thunder Sheet - multisampled with up to 6 velocity layers and 8x round robin, some electronic derivatives and tempo-synced loops.
* Various found metal objects and a large Tamtam (ø 150 cm), also sampled in the field with a field recorder.
* Electronic derivatives of the above samples and wave-tables extracted from them.

Frame Drums & Friends is a unique percussion library containing multi-sampled frame-drums, ocean drums and a special gong drum from Pakistan sampled especially for this collection. Besides a broad array of percussive and textural drum sounds with different articulations, this collection also contains bass sounds, soundscapes, tempo-synced loops in various time signatures, experimental noises, drones and synth patches derived from re-synthesized and wave-tabled drum samples. Quite a few patches also layer frame-drum samples or their derivatives with Falcon's internal synth and granular oscillators. Some gong samples and field recordings of ocean waves complete this collection.
Up to 20+ Macros and switches are assigned in each patch, many also use the modulation wheel and sometimes aftertouch, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, time-stretching, granular parameters, EQ-ing, dynamics, stereo animation and more. All patches use some sort of background image in the UI, split patches have colored key-zones in the Falcon keyboard for easier navigation.
About 50% of the samples were produced for this library, the other half was borrowed from my sound library Colliding Worlds for Groove Agent - distributed exclusively by Steinberg - and other patchpool libraries.

Crotales are rare orchestral percussion instruments not often used in classical music, the instrument sampled for this library ranging from C5 – C7 (C3 – C5 in classical terms). Tuned chromatically its distinct and very bright bell-like sound cuts through even at low velocities. For this soundset the instrument was multi-sampled with 2 articulations, bowed (violin bow) and beaten (special mallets with a metallic tip). There are also tempo-synced loops, improvised textures and tremolos, these samples were then used as a starting point for producing tonal soundscapes, musical beds and more experimental sound textures, often involving Falcon’s multi-granular oscillator and combining it with FM, pluck, wave-table and analog synth oscillators.
Up to 20+ Macros and switches are installed in each patch, some patches also use aftertouch, providing detailed and creative control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, dynamics, stereo animation, layer leveling and more.

Falcon Singles - HANG
Multi-sampled HANG percussion, deeply sampled with plenty of articulations, textures and electronic derivatives. The nine pitches of the Hang were sampled at 5 velocity layers and 6x round robin, two articulations were sampled (mallet/hand), also the backside of the Hang was captured, producing some remarkable sub-bass tones. Dynamic tremolos for each pitch (hand/fingers/mallet) were also recorded, dozens of little rubber balls were inserted into the instrument creating sublime pentatonic textures, wavetables were extracted from Hang samples, textural Hang sounds were re-synthesized and processed with a plethora of sonic tools to compose a unique collection of mellow, beautiful, mysterious, haunting and new-age sounds. The original tuning of the Hang was preserved in many patches, in quite a few presets there is a Macro installed which will tune the samples to the traditional tempered tuning.

The single accents were sampled on 10 pitches across the entire cello range at 5 velocity layers - 3x round robin, the tremolos were sampled at 3 pitches on open strings (A1/A2/A3), playing the highest notes on a violin. Two tonal, granular soundscapes, a tremolo patch with time-stretching and a model synth are also included in this collection.
Up to 20 Macros and switches plus the modulation wheel are assigned in each patch, some also use aftertouch, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, EQ-ing, dynamics, stereo animation and more. All patches use background images in the UI.
All acoustic samples in this library were recorded with 3 top notch microphones (Neumann) in L-C-R in 48 Khz/24 Bit, the microphone signals of all acoustic samples were phase-aligned which improves the stereo picture, enhances the transparency of the sound and makes for snappier transients.

1st release:
I just launched a new collection of single instruments and smaller libraries for UVI's Falcon. The first libray available now is Falcon Singles - Oud, originally sample for my Alchemy library Aqualignum, also containing new hybrid sounds which make use of Falcon's wavetable and pluck synth.
Falcon Singles - Oud
Multi-sampled oud, originally sampled for my Alchemy library Aqualignum, providing various articulations like single accents with 5 velocity layers - 3x round robin, up/down slides with 2x round robin and sample start control, vibrato notes with 3x round robin, tremolos, trills, repetitions, bowed strings, some granular patches, processed FX sounds, pads and bass sounds using wavetables extracted from oud samples and pluck synths using oud samples to excite the resonators.
Up to 20 Macros and switches plus the modulation wheel are assigned in each patch, many also use aftertouch, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, EQ-ing, dynamics, stereo animation and more. All patches use some sort of background image in the UI, split patches have colored key-zones in the Falcon keyboard for easier navigation.
