UVI Falcon for $149

Recommended Posts

Same price as that 'newish' Musio or whatever it is was going for recently, and not as low as it was a few months back, lol

They're not really in my wheelhouse, and I have a lot of stuff that will do whatever is needed to be done with those strange zebra, pedestrian crossing looking things,but you know how it is . . . ,

which of those 2 would be best, UVI Falcon or that Musio thing? any opinions welcomed.

That doesn't help Fleer....

It is the correct answer though :D

As for Falcon, it's is often misunderstood and described as a sampler. It's really way more than that and really deep and for sound design it's one of the most powerful options out there. It reminds me of Phaseplant in someways as you have almost infinite control over architecture and layers of the patches. It has some peculiarities and isn't perfect, but there's probably no end to what sounds you can create with it.

Falcon is more of a synth, Musio is more for orchestra

1 down, scored Falcon, that's apparently the lowest price it's been, I was going to just leave it there and wait until it went back to full price just on ethical grounds, but . . .

If you want to edit the presets, I'd probably still recommend watching a tutorial, or two on this one. Because it's so modular, there are a couple of concepts that are simple once you grasp them, but can take it little bit to understand if you're just winging it.

DEFINITELY watch a few videos to get your head around it.  Once you (kinda) understand it, it really opens up and you'll be amazed at all the possibilities.  I hated it when I first got it because I didn't grasp the workflow.  When I did, I was floored at what it can do (and still am) .

I realized I needed to watch a tutorial or two when I first tried to modulate a filter by velocity and it didn't work as I expected!

I'm still learning it really, but I'm the same as you. This thing is probably the most deep and powerful there is, but on top of that, it sounds great and their effects in it are really good quality and better than a lot of the competition. I'd almost go as far to say better than just about all the flagship synths, apart from maybe u-he. Some of their included effects are really nice. Not Hive though.. don't really like the effects much on that one from u-he at all! Still a great and fun synth and I'm glad I own it, but definitely mainly use external effects for it.

This was a good little primer to get started:

I'm also planning on going through these at some point:
