Introduction

A boutique collection of stylized instruments, drums and textures perfectly suited for the more chill and introspective sides of hip-hop, lo-fi, and downtempo music production. Covering all the hallmark sounds and taking it further, LoFi Dreams delivers smooth acoustic pianos, soulful guitars, vibey keys, charactered drums, lo-fi textures and more.

Inspired by the sounds of early ’00s lo-fi chill and hip-hop, LoFi Dreams offers a wide range of expressive instruments delivering both classic and modern aesthetics. Paired with the extensive sound-shaping capabilities of Falcon, musical inspiration awaits for producers and musicians of any background.

Each of the instruments in LoFi Dreams 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.

INFO Page

The Info tab provides an overview of the selected program, houses macro controls, and provides a location for custom text and images via the (i) view.

Same as Falcon Factory Content, LoFi Dreams’ patches have been programmed with macros which provide users with easy access to the key parameters of each patch. LoFi Dreams 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.
