Falcon gives you everything you need to create the sound of your dreams, delivering an extensive collection of cutting-edge tools in an open-ended semi-modular environment.

A powerful instrument for seasoned pros and beginners alike, Falcon can be easily adapted to serve many needs. Whether you're looking for inspiring sounds for a new song, or are deep-diving into creative sound design, Falcon can be as nimble or calculating as the task requires.

Explore sound with precision and finesse, from basic sample slicing and synth design to modulated multitimbral hybrids, create incredible layered synths, expressive MPE instruments, powerful drums, intricately chopped breaks, multi-channel surround sound, imaginative sound design, generative sequences, wild effects and much more.

Unlimited Sound Sources

Falcon includes 20 oscillators providing a wide range of synthesis and sample-based sound generation including virtual analog, wavetable, phase distortion, FM, additive, drum, noise, formant, pluck, harmonic resonators, bowed string, sample, stretch, granular, and more. Layer them, map them, modulate them, make them yours.

Powerful, Inspiring Effects

Over 100 high-quality effects are included, giving you numerous flavors of delay, reverb, modulation, filtering, EQ, amps, distortion, dynamics, analyzers and more. Effects can be instanced throughout your patch, used in parallel, and deeply modulated. UVI's proprietary DSP ensures pristine quality, from lush modulated reverbs to incredibly accurate physically-modeled compressors, and beyond.

Modulation

Add movement and dynamics to any part of your sound with envelopes, MSEGs, LFOs, drunk and random generators, and more. Modulate your oscillators, your effects, even modulate your modulators! Remap and quantize them with Mappers, or make it physical with extensive support for MIDI CC, OSC, and host automation sources.

Events and Scripting

Manipulate incoming MIDI or generate it algorithmically using a wide variety of included scripts to enhance, augment, and modulate your performances – then pipe that data to the rest of your studio, all without needing to know how to program. And for those comfortable with Lua, Falcon offers a powerful way to extend its functionality, and create unique processors and instruments of your own design.
