Falcon 3, soon?

What's confusing me is I'm not sure how much value the expansions will bring me, and whether I'd be better off waiting for the BF sale and using it on something like Quadra Traveller.

I had the same exact thought, but instead of Quadra Traveler, I'm looking at Percussion Factory. I purchased the FL/UVI bundle earlier this year, I REALLY like Drum Designer a lot. I think Perc Fact could be an amazing purchase to completely round out the ability to quickly produce all manners of drums and percussion in an intuitive, fun workflow.

Drum Designer is great, though I haven't used it anywhere near as much as I thought I would, as I've been going through a period of augmenting acoustic drums, rather than building them from the ground up, since I got it. I seem to be shifting to a more electronica leaning phase at the moment, so I suspect that DD will be getting more regular outings. Looking forward to pairing it with Falcons MIDI generators, and comparing to HY-Plugins offerings.

Good thinking IMO. You get plenty of excellent presets with Falcon. I rarely use the expansions.
 
I know its been mentioned a few times in here but still unsure from and where to put the midi out to get this working (for example for the percussion factory). So in anyone has a youtube link (preferable short on low level) would be appreciated :)

The YouTube videos that mention MIDI out don't really show where to put it. The manual isn't any better although from what I got from a UVI person that responded to my trouble ticket supposedly that's being worked on. That being said where I put it is (looking at the events tab) after the script processor that I want the MIDI from. The MIDI out processor can be drug in from the right sidebar tab that has the tied notes (not sure what it's called). The other way to insert the MIDI is when you're in the 'events' tab click the plus (+) sign in event bar and add it there.

Did you like Ether Fields? If so, have a look at Fluidity and Plurality.

I will for sure. Those two are still on my radar, as is definitely Synth Anthology 4, which will replace my Arturia V Collection (I would rather have samples of old synthesizers than trying to learn to use all these things, honestly).

Now for a little trip down memory lane:

I remembered I still have the license for the old MachFive on my iLok. For the kiddies here: MachFive was Falcon before it was Falcon. It was an instrument that was created by UVI but published by MOTU, as a companion instrument to Digital Performer. It came bundled with some fantastic libraries, including XtremeFX (which you can still buy and is VERY good), the Fazioli Grand (one of the most beautifully sampled pianos ever), and even some sampled guitars, bass and even an upright, by our esteemed friends at AmpleSound!

Great instruments, and I am downloading these right now again because they are fully compatible with Falcon (as Falcon deep down still IS MachFive).

Good times ahead!

If someone who's on the fence about Falcon you might want to look up on YouTube some Mach Five videos to see how good the pitch and time stretch algos sound.

World Suite 2 is probably the most enticing thing, in terms of my Electro-Acoustic Fcuk Genre approach to things, but I still have no idea about how the soundwares I have unfold further in Falcon than in Workstation, so I need to spend a little more time getting to grips with it all.
Anyway, this is Absotively Posolutey the last major platform I invest in (unless a Halion/spare cash confluence occurs).
Phase Plant is still the closest to being my ideal. The interface and workflow is without peer, if V3 brings sequencing and DSP of equivalent awesomosity, then I'm not sure what could stand in it's way.
MSoundFactory is perhaps the closest to Falcon, in terms of what I have, and I was building basics far quicker, then stumbling over expanding them. First impressions are that Falcon will reward riding that early bump with a little more fluidity, and that I'll get further faster with it.
 
Is anyone having performance issues with apple silicon?

Some of the library and expansion presets overload out my M1 max even in standalone mode with a reasonable buffer size.
 
After 5+ years on the fence, I jumped on Falcon 3. The intro sale plus using the included voucher with BOGO expansion sale sold me.

Really, I got an MPE surface this summer (ERAE Touch) which had me revisit all kinds of MPE sounds that made me consider Falcon. Excited too to see how the UVI powered libraries can be utilized by Falcon as I own quite a few. Falcon looks more intuitive to do sound design / sound tweaking with samples than Kontakt.
 
I wish there were more library options for "old-school" synth sounds.

Polysynth, pads, brass, bass and leads spring to mind.

Sigh.....dont work for me, maybe I am missing something obvious, so would be great if anyone had any advice what I missed :sad:

The idea was to record the midi from falcon percussion. The kontakt instrument I use for this usually works absolutely perfect no matter what midi source you put in front. Kontakt is set to record script generated notes what exactly is what falcon should do. Only thing it records is the note that drives falcon to play the complete instrument. Midi out is set in the event editor right after percussion. Sigh...
