Introduction

Lay the foundation for your own Funk records with the vibes and soul of ’80s classics. Eternal Funk delivers it all, from a wide selection of synth-based bass, leads, brass, guitar, electric piano and a full acoustic GM drum kit with authentic, old-school funk flavor.

The sounds of Eternal Funk were designed to replicate our favorite moments of ’80s Funk, with sounds designed from scratch using Falcon’s capable architecture. To deliver a complete and authentic sound we recorded a full drum kit in the classic way, ready for you to program in your own grooves or sequence with the included MIDI files covering timeless funk patterns.

Each of the sounds in Eternal Funk is designed to be expressive and playable, providing unique controls and macros allowing you to sculpt your sound and create dynamic performances.

The versatility and quality of Falcon is evident throughout this collection, utilizing numerous synthesis techniques including analog, FM and physical modeling, as well as robust use of effects and modulators. Sounds can all be quickly previewed, edited, layered or performed with nearly limitless variation thanks to Falcon’s semi-modular architecture.

Program Information

Press the (i) button in the upper right to display program information. Many factory presets contain details about the program such as modwheel assignments, macro descriptions or tips for playing it. You can add and save descriptions for your own programs as well.

EDIT Page

If you want more control over a sound than the macros provide, the EDIT tab gives you full access to all parameters. Patches in Falcon are built within a fixed hierarchy: at the very top is the Program, inside the Program are Layers, within each Layer are Keygroups, and inside the Keygroups are Oscillators. Audio effects, MIDI effects and modulators can be placed on any level.

The mapping, oscillator and modulation editors are described in Falcon’s software manual: see Hierarchy and Edit.
