There were lots improvements over time, with correction of bugs, creation of a VST3 version and some other improvements in oscillators and effects already included on previous versions, but there were also new “modules” (understand module like different kinds of oscillators and effects from now on) that expanded the overall sonic potential of an already gigantic instrument.Ģ.1: added 40 new wavetables Feedback Machine FX Magnetic Bass Shaper FX step arp, chord strum and gate modulation scripts.Ģ.1.5: added a revert parameter for sample oscillators.Ģ.5: TS Overdrive FX VCF-20 FX Multi LFO module several sequencer and arpeggio scripts (Cartesian, Euclidian, probability, rain, wave, warp) new UI for several previous scripts optimization on the excellent Sallen Key filter FX.Ģ.8: Texture Oscillator Dual Delay FX Shifter FX Harmonizer FX Granulizer FX Feedback Compressor FX Diffuse Delay FX Velvet Delay FX some arp scripts very interesting modulation scripts (balloons, boids, tape mod) key tracking to some filters 100 new presets using the texture oscillators. Quoting myself: “It is in fact so big, that one could even develop a review for each of its components, and there are many.” I have to say that the aforementioned reviews give the reader an impression of all the features and complexity, so I’ll keep this review on the new stuff. Zebra was something that came to my mind – it is also capable of complex single sounds with a better interface, but you can’t create complex layers of different things like you can with Falcon.Īfter 2-3 days of frequent use, I finally understood how to use the thing, and started some deep dives. Since there’s no clear differentiation between different “modules”, it is not as intuitive as a simpler synth.

A beginner would have a tremendous difficulty in learning with it, and I’d say it is an advanced synthesizer in all its glory.Īccompanying this richly featured and hard to use plugin, you get an interface that isn’t simple at first (mainly because of the different “levels” of a single sound, explained on the last review). In fact, the thing is so deep in possibilities that a simple sound isn’t quite achievable from start without some guidance. To surpass that initial “climb on a big mountain” some videos provided by UVI themselves can help you not cracking your head so much.

The problem is: Falcon is a very deep synthesizer, with a not so clear interface, if that makes any sense. It wasn’t different with the UVI offering. My first time using any plugin, I tend to avoid presets and start everything from a “blank canvas”. Focusing a bit on my own point of view, I’d like to state a few things about the overall usability of Falcon.
