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. Falcon includes an expansive factory library of 1,600 presets and 500+ wavetables, crafted by world-class sound designers to give you inspiring results right out of the box. Whether you’re after instant gratification or a starting point for your own creations, Falcon puts inspiration at your fingertips.

When you’re ready to explore further, Falcon Expansions and UVI Soundware open the door to even more. Designed to take full advantage of Falcon’s advanced architecture, they integrate seamlessly with the browser, making it effortless to search, tag, and find the sounds you need. Whether you’re looking for instant inspiration, or are diving deep into creative sound design, Falcon is fast when you want it, and detailed when you need it.

Oscillators

Falcon includes 24 oscillators covering a wide range of modern synthesis methods from basic sample playback to more advanced generators like Pluck, Wavetable and IRCAM Multi Granular. 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.

Synthesis – 16 Oscillators

• Phase Shaper, Suprasaw, 808 Bass Drum, Analog, Drum, Analog Stack, FM, Noise, Organ, Pluck, Texture, Additive, Wavetable, Vosim, Bowed String, Harmonic Resonator

Sampling – 8 Oscillators

• Grains, Sample, Slice, Stretch, Ircam Granular, Ircam Multi Granular, Ircam Stretch, Ircam Sub

Effects

Falcon includes over 100 high-quality effects, categorized for easy navigation. Delays, Reverbs, Modulation, Filters, Equalizers, Amps and Stereo, Drive and Distortions, Dynamics, Analysis and the all-new Pitch. With effects suited for nearly every need from creative mangling to precise sound sculpting, mixing and analysis, Falcon provides a tremendous sound design facility. Effects within Falcon can be instanced as sends on effect busses, at the program, layer or note level and allow for extensive control of your signal and an unrestricted approach to sound and instrument design. Additionally, effects can be racked in an EffectRack for parallel and multi-band processing, or as a central, reusable multi-effect with macro-driven controls. Includes Various: Delays, Reverbs, Modulators, Filtres, EQs, Amps & Stereos, Drive, Dynamics, Analysis, FX Rack, Pitch, and more.

Falcon includes 13 modulation generators including AHD, Analog ADSR, Attack Decay, DAHDSR, Drunk, Flow Noise, LFO, Multi Envelope, Multi LFO, Parametric LFO, 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. Every modulation generator in Falcon can store presets, providing a quick way to save and reuse configurations that you find useful. Falcon ships with over a thousand preset wave shapes for the Multi Envelope generator alone.
