Introduction
Hard-hitting and aggressive, Savage delivers a complete production toolkit of masterfully created and mixed drums, bass, leads, arps and hits for producers working in DnB, Dubstep, Techno and related bass-centric styles.
The sounds of Savage were designed to work together. Sequences, bass, drums, leads, pads, pulses, FX and more get together to help form powerful and cohesive mixes from the start. Over 130 patches in all, ready to instigate and inspire.
Each of the sounds in Savage is designed to be expressive and playable, providing unique controls and macros allowing you to sculpt your sound and create dynamic performances. And as with all Falcon expansions, you have limitless potential to dig beneath the surface to see how they were created and change any aspect of any patch.
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.
Made for Falcon
The Savage 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.

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.
- 1 Macros
The four knobs are the preset’s macros and take their names, so labels and targets change from preset to preset. In Monster Truck, CRUNCH blends in a fuzz, DELAY and REVERB set the DualDelay and SparkVerb mix, and CUTOFF sets the layer’s Moog filter; the mod wheel adds wavetable FM. In presets with an arpeggiator, an on/off switch and a speed menu (x 1/4 to x 2) appear at the bottom left.
Like any Falcon macro, they can be controlled via MIDI, OSC, host automation and Lua scripting. For more 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.
- 1 Program Editor
Top-most level of the patch. Broad changes affecting the overall sound: add audio or MIDI effects, adjust volume, pan and pitch.
- 2 Layer Editor
Group and modify Keygroups. Same effect/modulation slots as the Program, plus velocity curve, polyphony modes and unison settings.
- 3 Keygroup Editor
Ground level of the patch — hosts oscillators, defines MIDI note and velocity ranges, and sets basic oscillator attributes like pitch and trigger modes. Effects instanced here run per-voice, with the extra CPU cost that implies.
The mapping, oscillator and modulation editors are described in Falcon’s software manual: see Hierarchy and Edit.
