Introduction

Ether Fields concentrates the energy of the cosmos through deep and atmospheric pads, lush and evolving soundscapes and haunting tones expertly realized by one the world’s most preeminent minds of sound design, Simon Stockhausen. Journey through space-time with Simon as your guide, experience waves of sound rise and fall around you, physicality begin to fade away and the light of heaven’s stars bend to reveal their ancient mysteries. Utilizing the advanced synthesis, effects and modulation capabilities of Falcon, Ether Fields delivers 100 premier patches designed to channel the timeless energy of myth and consciousness.

The incredible sound quality of Falcon can be felt throughout this premium selection of bells, granular and hybrid soundscapes, pads, patterned sound, synths and wavetables, perfect for ambient, electro, idm, new age, soundtracks and many other styles. Quickly preview and layer sounds, perform them with macro controls and make them your own by taking advantage of the limitless editing possibilities on-hand in Falcon.

Macros

Same as Falcon Factory Content, Ether Fields’ patches have been programmed with macros which provide users with easy access to the key parameters of each patch. These may be controlled via MIDI, OSC, host automation and Lua scripting, allowing for easy customization and expressive performance capabilities.

For more details on macros, see Falcon’s software manual.

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.

Preset List

100 presets organized across eight categories — from shimmering bells and plucks to evolving soundscapes, granular textures, sequenced patterns, pads, synths and wavetable designs.
