    I don’t think there is a batch edit function for that, as Falcon is editing the samples destructively you will have to save the samples otherwise all your changes will be lost.

    Hell I think I’ve got it. It’s 2 mono samples loaded at the same note. It says “simplebreakbeatL.wav” and “simplebreakbeatR.wav” in the same edit. Looking at my sample directory, it’s all mono samples, each breakbeat a L and a R wav. So that doubles the amount of files. I remember having issues with bouncing before. What I must have done for this song, can’t recall exactly but I think, in Falcon, in the browser window at the right, I selected the L and R sample of a breakbeat, and drew them both to the edit window, on the keyboard inside the Falcon program. Don’t know if that works. Now I also remember stereo files being played in mono, but I’ll have to create all samples again to be sure, in stereo, because as of now I can only find mono samples in my sample directory. Apparently dragging two mono samples into a keygroup doesn’t work, although the edit shows a left and a right section. But both waves there look exactly the same. Hmm, that’s gonna be a lot of work, mixing and bouncing all samples to stereo waves again. Done that before, but it never worked so I don’t know what happened. Apart from that, I can’t find the stereo waves back on my drive.

    Well one keygroup holds one sample oscillator playing one sample, so if you would want to use -L/-R samples you would have to use two keygroups in Falcon to play them and pan them hard left/right to achieve a stereo playback.

    Hi all. When I load a stereo wave of a drumtrack in my sampler, it is always being played mono. Can’t seem te get it playing in stereo. Is there anything I’m doing wrong or overlooking? Anyone?

    Have you maybe accidentally inserted a mono instance of Falcon in your DAW? Or is there an effect module in Falcon processing the sampler’s signal so it becomes mono?

    No, Falcon does not have any kind of audio input or side-chain function.

    Either blind or stupid, I can’t find the way to assign modulation targets or destinations for any of the 13 available mod sources found in the edit menu. In fact, I can’t find the words target or destination anywhere in the Falcon universe (GUI or help content). Mystifying. In every other synth I used, hardware or software, mod target choices are glaringly apparent.

     

    Right click on a parameter you want to modulate, then assign a modulation source, it doesn’t work the other way round.

    I look for a place/file explaining the basics of Falcon presets managements: Is it possible to modify and save a UVI preset without creating a new one? if I create a multi and save it, what happen when I modify one of the used sounds preset inside ? How to optimize the reuse of contents? How to apply globally the midi learn option to several presets?

    *If the presets are stored in an encrypted ufs.-file like UVI distributes them you will have to re-save a modified preset to a location you can freely select, the altered sample/asset paths will be updated within the preset. If the storage location of a given preset is not encrypted/protected (like e.g. in the libraries I distribute) then you can just overwrite the preset with your modification.

    *As I never use multis I can’t answer this, try it for yourself.

    *? Optimize what?

    * You will have to assign Midi CC’s in each preset and then save the preset, there is unfortunately no global option to do that. Automation assignments in the DAW can not be saved globally either.

    Improvising with a patch using the bowed string oscillator introduced in Falcon 3, recording the Midi, then automating the three assigned Macros in a second pass. Written explanations embedded inside the video.

    I used three new modules introduced in Falcon 3 to make this patch, Harmonic Resonators oscillator and effect plus Granulizer. Written explanations embedded in the video.

    There was an update for the factory library, the current version is 2.8.1 – so maybe you’ll find it in there in case you haven’t updated already.

    Hi, Here’s what I want to do: Have a sample on each key and control the decay on all of them with a single envelope so I dont have to adjust the amp envelope on 20 keygroups individualy. To me this seems extremely straightforward, just add an ADSR modulating the gain on the layer level. However, It seems an envelope on the layer level can’t be triggered by the keyboard input?

     

    Please read this article from the knowledge base:

    The Falcon Hierarchy – Basics

    ADSR envelopes will only work polyphonically if you insert them on key-group level.

    Well I’ve used slicers before in Kontakt, Reaktor etc. – just not in Falcon as nowadays I just don’t need them in my productions. Glad the problem solved itself, maybe asking on a forum did the trick 🙂

    I haven’t used the slicer really but I’ll check on my system, maybe it’s a bug

    I think you saw one of my Pigments videos which has a functionality where you can modulate grain pitch using a custom pitch scale (Fragments also has that feature and crusher-X has the most advanced feature set)  but in Falcon you can only use modulation mappers or layered key-groups which leads to the results you already experienced.

    Unfortunately UVI is famous for slow download speeds and has been for years now. They seem to use amazon servers but probably the content is not distributed equally around the globe or they are trying to save some cash on the wrong end. If you’re lucky you will experience fast dl speeds occasionally but overall it’s really slow.
