I’ve not come across this, there is no difference with UI opened or closed concerning CPU load on my computers.
Another happy user here.
Thank you guys for your efforts. Welcome to the forum!
Any chance of seeing some kind of read / unread posts indicator? That is super useful for catching up with new stuff.
Not in the near future, Nik is MIA and neither Tom nor I can edit the forum software well enough to implement this. But as not much is currently happening here anyway, we’ll survive it for the moment.
Well, that is some high-quality “plastic” I’d say…
Nice one Simon, thanks! Tom Yes, it’s HQ Duroplast – cheers. 🙂
After claiming triggering layer level LFO with each midi note is impossible, I tried this with the same work around… And it works perfectly ! Eh eh…… So it’s perfectly possible to modulate program or layer level with almost all modulation sources triggered by midi note. When I purchased Falcon, just when UVI released it (the price was good for 1 month), it was the first question I asked to UVI support. And they never told me nothing about this work around..! I thought that it was such a pity ! The 2° message I sent them was about my surprise to see there is no UVI forum ! No, we have a forum where there is this essential work around..!
Excellent ! Well, it’s only monophonic, so it´s just a workaround, useful in many situations, but polyphonic/re-triggerng/per voice modulations still only happen on keygroup level.
I like it. Thank you. I’m trying to learn more of how to work with FM . It’s …. Math.
Yes, math indeed – but with the latest update of the FM oscillator with the snap-function which locks the frequencies to natural harmonics, it’s now much easier to create musical FM sounds in Falcon.

October 30, 2016 at 7:44 pm Fantastico ! Thanks a lot for this work around ! It opens a lot of nice possibilities… It works perfectly on layer fx, but for some reason, not on LFO depth, for instance. What I’m trying to achieve is to increase a layer level LFO depth with an envelope triggered by midi notes. With the 2° dummy keygroup or 2° dummy oscillator, I at least can modulate layer level FX ! Excellent ! But why not my layer LFO depth ?? Should not this be the same ? I knew a Falcon forum was what was missing !
You have to turn up LFO depth to the maximum level you want, then you can modulate it – it works the same way like e.g. modulating oscillator gain or the volume of the operators in the FM synth.
It’s been mentioned hundreds of time, please read this little article to understand the basics of Falcon’s hierarchy.
and here is a thread on this topic.
Retriggering/polyphonic modulations are only possible on keygroup level. There is a workaround described in this thread.
Improvising live on video with a patch named Wonder Chimes:
Two fresh Falcon patches in action, plenty of Macro automation in LogicX, some modwheel/pitchbend action:
Impact Scape Split – this patch combines 2 samples with electronic noise impact-sequences running in tempo-synced stretch mode/split across the keyboard with a tempo-synced synth sequence in layer 2 (the same synth sequence is layered in each split zone -> 2 dedicated keygroups) – plenty of Macro and modulation wheel action:
I never had any PDC issues myself tbh, I would just assume that the Maximizer with it’s lookahead function is not latency compensated.
In List-view, you can always see which KG is selected and also do bulk selection via cmd+A (on Mac), or click on a layer and all KGs in that layer will get selected, or click on Program and all KGs in all layers will get selected (also works in Tree-view).
Nice update, just a little disappointed that they didn’t add the UNDO function and fix the PDC on some of the FX yet… Falcon is probably the only vst that doesn’t have those too industry standard functions…
What effects require PDC out of interest?
From the top of my head: both limiters, some distortion modules with oversampling (e.g. waveshaper), Olivier might join the discussion to clarify.
Yeah, I could do with an Undo, but I have adapted to the workflow of saving almost every single editing step so if something fubars, I simply load the previous version of a given patch.
I have a question I’m hoping somebody can help me with. I love the Granular and Multi Granular oscillators in Falcon but occasionally I have a sample I don’t want to loop but I can’t seem to get a clean ending. Either I stop the midi note and have a rather unnatural ending even with a longer release envelope or I extend the midi note and get a glitchy sounding effect like the play head is stuck in one place at the end of the sample. Is this just a simple envelope adjustment I’m missing or an actual setting in the oscillators themselves? Thanks. A. W. Bullington
Well, by nature of granular synthesis there is no “sample end”, a given sample only provides the audio material a grain stream – or multiple grain streams – are created from. If you decide to disable looping, be it alternate or normal forward looping, the grain position playhead will get stuck at the end of the sample once that has been reached. So either release the note well before the first grain stream hits the end of the sample (in the multi-granular osc) or enable looping, there is no magic “envelope setting” that will prevent this from occurring.
Heh … It was a little sarcasm …. but meant as a compliment.
Thanks, that’s why I put a smiley at the end, I thought I got the sarcasm bit.
Needs more host animation.
This is the third time I’ve watched/listened to this. It’s great. It’s mind opening to see other peoples’ creativity ‘worksheet’. I’ve been watching your other vids. Lot’s of good ‘stuff’ ….. but could you try to sound a little more relaxed? Errr, relaxed? I sound as relaxed as I can be at a given time of the day, relaxation is totally overrated 🙂
I’ve been working with the various Betas of version 1.2 over the last six weeks and I’m also very impressed with the new Phasor FX and filters, on keygroup level modulating it with things like key follow and LFOs and steppers at high feedback levels, it produces timbres one would not relate to a phaser, more to a complex resonator. The newUI design for some of the effects like the hybrid filters is very helpful, the re-synthesizing features in IRCAM stretch produce amazing results too and I have put the clipper to very good use too, nice addition to the already great waveshaper – really good work by the UVI team!
That was my praise of the evening…
