Everything you need to create the sound of your dreams.
Falcon is more than an instrument: it’s your sound design universe. Built on a semi-modular architecture of oscillators, effects, modulators, and event processors, it lets you create and shape sound in any direction.
Whether you’re an experienced pro or just starting out, Falcon adapts to your workflow with a streamlined browser, flexible workspaces, and thousands of inspiring presets.
Wide Range of Sound Sources
Falcon includes 28 oscillators covering a wide range of modern synthesis methods from basic sample playback to more advanced generators like Pluck, Wavetable, FM Explorer and Spectral Stretch.
One of Falcon’s greatest strengths is its ability to freely layer oscillators to create elaborate hybrid instruments that capitalize on the unique features of both sample-based and algorithmic sound creation. There are no preset limits on the quantity or type of oscillators you can use; you’re limited only by your computer’s processing power and imagination.
Unique and Powerful Effects
Falcon includes over 90 high-quality effects, plus the legacy effects kept for older programs, categorized for easy navigation: Delays, Reverbs, Modulation, Filters, Equalizers, Amp and Stereo, Drive and Distortion, Dynamics, the all-new Pitch, Analysis and more. With effects suited for nearly every need from creative mangling to precise sound sculpting, mixing and analysis, Falcon provides a tremendous sound design facility.
Modulation
Falcon includes 16 modulators: AHD, Analog ADSR, Attack Decay, DAHDSR, Data Envelope, Drunk, Flow Noise, LFO, Macro, Multi Envelope, Multi LFO, Parametric LFO, Script Event Modulation, Smooth Random, Step Envelope and Voice Modulator. Modulation generators can be instanced at any level in a patch, allowing them to control nearly any parameter, be it on an oscillator, effect or even on another modulator. This system allows you to paint motion into your sounds almost effortlessly, from subtle variation over time to complex on-demand sequences.
Events and Scripting
Falcon’s Event section provides script-based control over pre-synthesis data, namely the manipulation, analysis or generation of MIDI notes and data. Event processors can do anything from arpeggiating incoming notes or strumming them like a guitar to applying micro tunings, playing back MIDI files or creating generative sequences. This MIDI can be used to control elements within Falcon, or routed to external software or hardware with MIDI Out.
Workflow
Falcon’s interface is adaptable to your needs, from exploring presets and editing sounds, to creating instruments, mixing multichannel performances, and more. Features like UI Snapshots, program templates, extensive preset implementation, and tree view make realizing your inspirations all that much faster.
Performance
Falcon was designed with a rich performance toolset including full MPE, Open Sound Control (OSC) implementation, host automation, flexible MIDI and audio routing, MIDI learn, key range and velocity range controls, keyswitching and more. Whether you’re working with a single instrument or an ensemble, in a DAW or standalone, Falcon gives you the control you need to create dynamic and captivating performances.
Sounds
Falcon comes with 1,600 high-quality factory patches crafted by top sound designers, covering classic synthesis, percussion, physical modeling, granular multi-oscillator hybrids and more. Each preset features an intuitive user interface and dedicated macro controls for easy performance and editing.
If you need more, Falcon is fully compatible with all UVI and UVI-Powered instruments from companies such as Acousticsamples and VI Labs. From vintage synths, samplers and drum machines to immaculate grand pianos, choirs and orchestras, Falcon is your gateway into some of the world’s most sophisticated and best-sounding instruments.
