Introduction

UVI are proud to present this collection of presets from sound design maestro Simon Stockhausen. Loaded with 111 patches, Fluidity explores the continuous states of movement, flow, and passage through time. The sonic explorations in Fluidity evoke a sense of natural motion and calming beauty, dazzling with small lights of technical wizardry and an ear for detail that is uniquely Simon’s.

Fluidity is organized in 7 categories including Electronic, Mallets, Sequencer, Soundscapes, Strings, Water, and Wind. Explore lush pads, glittering arpeggios, moving leads, incredible soundscapes, washing textural sounds and more. In addition, every patch is configured with between 7 and 12 macros, allowing for deep customization, performability, and sonic range. Make broad or fine stroke changes and quickly find the perfect balance for your composition.

As with all Falcon expansions, Fluidity gives you the ability to dig beneath the surface into each sound’s patch structure, to manipulate and reshape it in any way you see fit. Great care was taken with every preset, with detailed patch notes written by Simon for all of the 111 patches. Gain insight into each sound’s design, along with explanations of the macro assignments and more.

Quality is evident throughout this collection. Simon utilized numerous synthesis and sound design techniques with a 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 and rich library.

Made for Falcon

The Fluidity expansion leverages the advanced synthesis architecture of Falcon, featuring intuitive macro controls for instant playability.

Control your sound with MIDI, OSC, host automation, and Lua, or transform it with Falcon’s extensive library of oscillators, effects, modulators, and scripts.

Program Information

Press the Script button above the panel to switch to Falcon’s macro view, then the (i) button in its 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.

Simon has written detailed patch notes for all 111 presets — these are accessible directly from the Info tab.

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.
