I use almost every plugin out there ... i've been using Falcon for years & it is still today the best plugin i have ... the real steam engine ... the ease of use, the sound, the modulations etc etc makes it the most innovative plugin out there ...
I am totally new to music production, and I am glad I tried out this hybrid Synth. Some people on the music forum I regularly go to learn stuff were not particularly impressed with it. But I can't think of anything better Falcon; not Omnisphere, not Serum, not Halion 6, not Kontakt! I don't even do sound design. I am perfectly satisfied with the presets, the sound quality, fast loading and the immediate option to change the parameters
Yeah, Falcon was the first VST that I spent a lot of money on, and I'm glad I took the time to really research it. I don't have very many UVI libraries that go unused for long periods of time. Kontakt libraries on the other hand...
Dang!! Stop tempting me. I just bought the RA Lo-Fi bundle based upon your demo weeks ago, as well as got a great deal on DS Thorn ($10 with a coupon). Because I don't have enough sound possibilities with my existing 120 softsynths, now I have to get Falcon. Seriously, though, nice little demo. Thanks for sharing. Callouts are a nice touch!
Lol, I know. 10 years ago, a lot of the softsynths were just ok. Now, it seems like they all are pretty dang good. Seriously though, Falcon is really a powerhouse if you like sound design. The possibilities are staggering, although the learning curve is steeper than most.
how is this thing CPU wise? It's clear we're in a phase were software synths not only rival hardware synths but surpass it, so it comes down to your own tastes as to what softsynth to choose (or buy a lot of them, which is what I do haha) . Phaseplant , while sounding amazing, seems taxing on processing power. What is your experience, when you would use it in a project with other things going on?
It's pretty good except for one or two of the effects. There is a specific distortion effect that can get CPU hungry. I used to run it on a higher end Intel 7 chip from about 8 years ago with 16 gig of ram and it was fine.
Not in the factory set. You can buy add-ons though to get all the classic sounds. One of the more popular ones is Vintage Vault 4 which is kind of an all inclusive vintage synth package. It literally has dozens and dozens of classic synths, including multiple Roland and Prophet models.
Sure thing, check out JP Legacy, PX P10 and Vector Pro which are included in Vintage Vault 4 as mentioned by Artic Fox Studios. Also check out Synth Anthology 3.
@@frantsel5711 the thing I love about falcon is if your good with the pluck oscillator u can make any real sound I've made pianos rhodes brass and strings etc
Falcon user here and loving it. I added Vintage Vault 4 - endless possibilities.
👍
Love VV.

Same here. It's pretty much my go to. Can't wait to see what they come up with for Version 3.0.
Falcon is the end of my VST shopping spree. It just does it all.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

Wow I will be getting it for fun
Cool - I think you'll like it. It's super powerful.
The synth to rule them all
Absolutely. It's a monster.
The last synth you will ever need - it's Avenger! Lol
@@gianocastello7706 That one is on my to purchase list. I almost picked it up last year when it was on sale.

Glad you liked the video Robert.
It's kinda silly how few preset bundles are out there for falcon, while there are masses for serum or diva..
Yeah. There should be more. I was never a big fan of the original presets either. They have improved greatly over the last few years though.
Its because its not a VST for the masses.

It's good on cpu u can do as much as your cpu can handle but it's low on cpu

Does it have Jupiter and Prophet sounds

@@JuicySoundzz i just missed a $74 sale on it. I’ll have to catch it on BlackFriday or something.
This synth has waveform editing now?
I don't believe that it does, but I could be wrong. Even though I use Falcon a lot, it's so deep, I only probably use 60% or 70% of its capacity.
Thanks. Still not a user friendly UI.
Yeah, it has some quirks for sure. I use it a ton, so it's second nature to me, but it does have a decent learning curve.
the problem is, we have already alot of good synths.. Vital for example is free. Everything is oversaturated..
I never got into Vital when it came out. I didn't really care for the presets. That was awhile ago though. Maybe I should give it another chance.
Vital is a wavetable synth falcon can do way more than vital
@@jamesjr2550 yes probably. But I need to work quick and efficient most of the time.
@@frantsel5711 yeah

I..... can't.......not..........buy......it.. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrggghhhhhh
Lol. It is totally worth it I think. It is one of my most used synth engines.
he has a cool Job Working _ for UVI
It would be fun to work for them for sure.
