Introduction

Inspired by the world of psytrance and its manifold subgenres, Hypnotic Dive delivers 120 patches ranging from syncopated arpeggios and basslines to deep atmospheric pads, bread and butter leads and synths, to vibrant plucks, dizzying effects, and tuned sub kicks. Hypnotic Dive gives you everything you need to create captivating and energetic electronic music, from high-octane dance to meditative and transcendent ambient.

Hypnotic Dive leverages the powerful oscillators and modulation system of Falcon to create dynamic, powerful and evolving sounds across a range of timbres, with a high degree of customization and playability. The sounds of Hypnotic Dive are elegantly crafted, instantly inspiring, and suitable for producers and musicians of any background.

Each of the instruments in Hypnotic Dive is designed to be expressive and playable, providing helpful controls and macros allowing you to sculpt your sound and create dynamic, expressive performances. As with all Falcon expansions, you have the ability to dig beneath the surface into each sounds patch structure, to manipulate and reshape it in any way you see fit.

The extraordinary sound quality of Falcon is evident throughout this collection, utilizing numerous synthesis and sound design techniques and 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.

Macros

Same as Falcon Factory Content, Hypnotic Dive’s patches have been programmed with macros which provide users with easy access to the key parameters of each patch. Hypnotic Dive also has a custom front panel which is made with Falcon’s script feature. The parameters are connected with the macros and 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 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.

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

120 presets organized across eight categories — from syncopated arpeggios and bass sequences to deep atmospheres, leads, plucks, synths, and sound-design effects.
