Falcon is more than an instrument, it’s your sound design universe. Built on a semi-modular architecture of oscillators, effects, modulators, and event processors, it lets you create and shape sound in any direction. Whether you’re an experienced pro or just starting out, Falcon adapts to your workflow with a streamlined browser, flexible workspaces, and thousands of inspiring presets.
Falcon includes 24 oscillators covering a wide range of modern synthesis methods from basic sample playback to more advanced generators like Pluck, Wavetable and IRCAM Multi Granular.
One of Falcon’s greatest strengths is its ability to freely layer oscillators to create elaborate hybrid instruments that capitalize on the unique features of both sample-based and algorithmic sound creation. There are no preset limits on the quantity or type of oscillators you can use, you’re limited only by your computer’s processing power and imagination.
Falcon includes over 100 high-quality effects, categorized for easy navigation: Delays, Reverbs, Modulation, Filters, Equalizers, Amps and Stereo, Drive and Distortions, Dynamics, Analysis and the all-new Pitch. With effects suited for nearly every need from creative mangling to precise sound sculpting, mixing and analysis, Falcon provides a tremendous sound design facility.
Effects within Falcon can be instanced as sends on effect busses, at the program, layer or note level and allow for extensive control of your signal and an unrestricted approach to sound and instrument design. Additionally, effects can be racked in an EffectRack for parallel and multi-band processing, or as a central, reusable multi-effect with macro-driven controls.
Falcon includes 13 modulation generators including AHD, Analog ADSR, Attack Decay, DAHDSR, Drunk, Flow Noise, LFO, Multi Envelope, Multi LFO, Parametric LFO, Smooth Random, Step Envelope and Voice Modulator. Modulation generators can be instanced at any level in a patch allowing them to control nearly any parameter, be it on an oscillator, effect or even on another modulator. This system allows you to paint motion into your sounds almost effortlessly, from subtle variation over time to complex on-demand sequences.
Every modulation generator in Falcon can store presets, providing a quick way to save and reuse configurations that you find useful. Falcon ships with over a thousand preset wave shapes for the Multi Envelope generator alone.
Falcon’s Event section provides script-based control over pre-synthesis data, namely the manipulation, analysis or generation of MIDI notes and data. Event processors can do anything from arpeggiating incoming notes or strumming them like a guitar to applying micro tunings, playing back MIDI files or creating generative sequences. This MIDI can be used to control elements within Falcon, or routed to external software or hardware with MIDI Out.
Falcon comes with 1,600 high-quality factory patches crafted by top sound designers, covering classic synthesis, percussion, physical modeling, granular multi-oscillator hybrids and more. Each preset features intuitive user interfaces and dedicated macro controls for easy performance and editing.
Categorized for effortless browsing, Falcon’s factory presets let you shape the sound quickly with macros, then fine-tune in the edit panel for full control. Perfect for instant inspiration or as a starting point for your own sound design.
