Came for Falcon, stayed for the voice overs! If I were to pick one youtube channel to take with me on a dessert island, this would be it :D

I've used Logic for around 10 years and you put me onto FL Studio, earlier today i noticed you using Falcon in a video then found this and frankly, I don't think I'd need any other tools, this is it! Especially if I can run analogue instruments and sounds through it. And its so smoooooth brother, wow, amazed!

Holy moly that random wavetable example was pure bliss

the voiceovers make it 10x better

This vst is definitely extremely powerful. But at this point it feels more like a daw with builtin plugins and script language integration that presents itself as vst than just a synth/sequencer/sampler/effect or whatever. This looks like a one-thing-does-everything standalone piece of software or centerpiece of a setup. If you load this into a host daw instead, which is probably complex by itself, it's two layers of intertwined complexity, which I'm not sure I'd like

The voice overs sound like work training videos. Classic

10:34 I especially liked how Keanu pronounced "Aux" like it was a French word.

Omnisphere would be my desert island synth by a country mile, but Falcon 3 does look awesome - one day I'll find time to learn how to use it!

So…FALCON is it’s own DAW for creating instruments via just about every process there is for creating one digitally. It makes me wish I had time to get this geeky about patch creation. Looks top tier for sound designers but probably too much of a good thing for someone like me. It’s been on my radar a long time. UVI’s software all sounds great

I absolutely love Falcon and this has got me so excited 😍 Cant wait to try out the update!

Falcon inside Bitwig is a powerful setup. The modulation options are all but infinite.

Yeah I just got falcon this weekend after seeing your review about it and playing around with some packs on the UVI player. It's massively powerful and convinced me, so I bought it this weekend. This now got a free upgrade to version 3. I'm too hyped about a plugin, that while being in the middle of moving houses so no time to actually try it out for some days. What really excites me is the midi out feature, opening a window of so many possibilities. I feel like I found a piece of software that will take way more time than I'm willing to spend on software, and I'll be spending that time happily. Thanks for the voice over, made my day ❤.

This video is the best commercial (UVI) they could ever come up with. Congrats for the great and also entertaining video.

Thank you Benn for this fantastic audio trip! Greetings from France!

Damn, just when I thought Falcon couldn't get any better. You're a true inspiration, Benn. Thank you

i already have falcon but im just eating my breakfast wondering what i could do with it then all of a sudden your video stumbled upon my recommendation page and watching how you go around falcon's workflow immediately made the lightbulb in my head turn astoundingly bright great patches, hilarious voiceovers, subscribed! edit: i did not mute the uncomfortable sound machine fuck yeah

thank you for pointing this out, been making electronic music since 1998 and back then, you had less to choose from, and as software got more complex. so did making music. Less is more in electronic, this puts me into the keyboard frame of mind, instead of the what plugin to use frame of mind.

Such a brilliant blend of creative hilarity and genuinely useful info

This video sold me on it. Nice job, Benn!

Holy SHIT MIDI OUT FINALLY I didn’t think they would/could do it!!! So stoked on the continued support for this product, best drunk purchase I’ve ever made

Falcon is a must have. Thanks for the demos!

Great overview, and I have to agree. Falcon leads the pack by a mile. Also, I absolutely love the voiceovers which really made the review fun. And.... subscribed!

Falcon to me is still basically like Excel. Is it powerful? Yes. Can it do basically anything? Yes. Does it inspire to do creative things? Not really. Does it feel like work? Absolutely. Now that they added basic routings it got a bit better but my "everything" synth is probably still Phaseplant or Pigments 😅

It's missing simple stuff that some glorious smaller Devs provide: Modulation of Sample End, Loop Length, Loop Start and Loop End

Thanks Benn!!!! You convinced me to pop over to uvi's web site and I saw the $199 deal and snapped it up. And they gave me a $100 voucher! Combining the voucher with the current 2 for 1 deal on sound banks, I got 6 $39 sound banks for $17. So I fired it up and holy shit!! It sounds wonderful, much more to my liking than Omnisphere. And the sound banks have a much higher fraction of usable and inspiring patches than any softsynth I own. This definitely replaces Omnisphere as my go-to workhorse synth (though I'm sure I'll use both in the future).

thanks so much for your time :-) awesome video

Hoooly cow, this was audio magic. Loved every second. Thx

I don't know how it slipped under my radar but this thing really is amazing. It can replace most of the plugins for everyone interested in putting just a little effort into something more than using loops and presets. It's fun and it sounds good. Not cheap but you can easily spend much more money on plugins doing the same job of Falcon's modules. Not to mention dealing with all the godforsaken downloaders and authorization procedures and processes you have to endure.

I remember David Gnozzi doing a desert island plug-in video. Love it, Benn!

Falcon 3 is actually at $199.00 very tempting 😄

That was absolutely WILD Thank you.

Benn, in case no one has told you recently, your creative brain-side is amazing. Thank you for sharing while remaining very humble and grounded. Hope all is truly well with you and yours.

Genius at work! And bloody hilarious 😂

Holy the moving orchestra! Awseome information. Last video made me so anxious because you dont bloody breath as a normal human. Are you also a singer? you can speak without breath breaks for so long that it feels cringy. But now with your voice oversssss LOL hahahaha and of course what you said all along. So cool

Falcon is the only virtual instrument that i've ever resold. It's incredibly powerful, very flexible, sounds great...but i felt like pulling my hair out when creating patches with it (and i like Reaktor and Reaper). It wasn't the complexity, it just seemed that nothing worked in a way i would expect it to. i wanted to like it. As a preset player it was awesome. Sometimes i want to try it again, and it's on sale...As for most powerful i'd still say Reaktor but it's more a toolbox than an instrument.

Best tutorials ever! 😂 I think you’re now obligated to make a desert island album using only this synth.

I feel like the only plugin that can give Falcon a run in the "more power than you could ever use" category is Melda's MSoundFactory. Less synthesis options (I think!), probably equivalent in the modulation department, arguably more effects. I don't think it has the same sequencer flexibility though. And they have similarly, ahh, let's say austere UIs. MSoundFactory may actually - and this is definitely not something you hear often about Melda plugins - have a clearer UI.

How do you unlock Falcon's crappy iLok on a desert island?

This is spectacular

That was priceless. Thank you.

For sure my desert island VST. There is just something special about Falcon, nothing out there like it. The complexity might make people shy away from it which I feel is a good thing. hehehe

I would love to see full versions of these examples, to follow along with. But yes, that was super useful.

12:16 lmao wasn't expecting that

Great video, the highlight of which was the marriage of scrip to narrators. I couldn't tell if they were real voices or not until the first time one tried to say 'reverb' and pronounced it 're VERB'. When a different voice pronounced it with the same odd accenting, I felt sure the narrators were AI generated.

The voices kept me watching. Top tier

I’m so used to seeing Ben create some wildly out there and “from scratch” shit, that I thought Desert Island may have meant desert island type sound. Or possibly a plug-in powered by coconuts.

Love your videos

That final patch did indeed make my stomach feel weird, even just from the thrumming bass before the shepherd tone. Good job, you succeeded

Nice Tutorial! Thank you.

Spooky how Giorgio is on the nose in at least 2 different ways and synth voice too good to keep any belief Bravo

Here's hoping someone like ASM could take the lead from Pigments/Phase Plant and Falcon and upgrade their Hydrasynth line. To add Physical Modelling and Granular Sampling, and maybe incrementally improve the overall sound/fx quality, make it four part multi-timbral, 32 voices. There's the Minifreak, but's a little fixed/limited in the voice models. I realise there's Waldorf's Iridium. But it's so expensive. And even then the Tasty Chips GR-1's Granular Engine is much smoother sounding. Iridium needs cheaper competition, and hardware processors should be fast enough to do all this now since the original is over 3 years old now.

"omg. let's make a sonic weapon."... spat water all over my bed. another great video. this channel is one of youtube's s tier channels for reals.

Fun! I'll hear you out for half an hour of patching frenzy :)

Benn Jordan for president !! 🎉

Best sounding plugin, for sure!

Bitwig and falcon updates . The war on Christmas came early!

I gotta say, this video was a fuckin' trip. The changing from person to person doing the voice over with every demonstration had me cracking up too. The guy doing the voice over for Level 6 sounds kinda like the legendary Matt Mercer lol. Anyway, this software is pretty incredible, but I gotta admit that it looks a bit intimidating to learn. Maybe not as intensive as learning a whole new DAW, but it definitely would require a lot more from the user than the average softsynth plugin usually does. But it seems totally worth the effort considering how robust it is.

So the first couple of times you watch this video is just for the voiceovers, I couldn’t possibly focus on what Benn was doing! LOL, brilliant strategy to increase your views! 😂

Epic demo.

My go to VST It can do virtually anything. Just wish the interface was a bit more user friendly Voice overs are hilarious 😂

Reh-Verb. I'm all about it. Benn, well played, sir, well played. Golf clap. Something I read a long time ago about Falcon is that its oscillators aren't exactly the cleanest. There are many different oscillator algorithms to choose from when implementing a softsynth, and I guess Falcon uses an algorithm that is pretty good but definitely not the best available. Uhe Diva, for example, uses the absolute best available but also can be a cpu murderer. My hunch is that Falcon made the tradeoff by necessity in order to have some cpu capacity left to use on the huge number of effects and whatnot without crazy dropout issues. Phaseplant and mSoundFactory have presets that instantly bring my computer to its knees, sometimes crashing the daw altogether, which makes me wish I could the control quality. I'm sure it's possible but I don't remember anything like that happening in Falcon, so that's cool I guess...but I do wonder what some of my falcon patches would sound like if it did use the best oscillators available. It's not a deal breaker by any stretch, as Falcon can do really cool things and it sounds great doing them.

I might buy this for the intro offer now, which is $199. This video sold me on it.

10:11 Is that Steven Slate????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's perfectly inappropriately intense.

Great video...like always. I'm gonna have to deep dive this beast. Got it for many years and did not put enough time to learn it.

Trying to follow the actions that lead to these sounds, makes my brain feels like the Spanish Rose Knot.

My brain hurts. SO much you can do with this thing!

Jesus this thing does everything! Its like having Reason 12, Kontakt, Omnisphere all in one!

You have me laughing like a lunatic on a commuter train 😂

Very cool video!

I don’t doubt that Falcon is an incredibly powerful VST, but I’ve never been able to convince myself to buy it because Pigments does everything I need just fine and it’s intuitive. I’m sure if I was a pro I would have pulled the trigger on it already. Maybe I will now that I just got a tutorial!

Here here, to the Falcon. Bloody brilliant instrument

I love plugins that have more features than the DAW you put it inside

new subscriber. I watched the whole video and realized that I dont know nothing about falcon. impresive to say the least.

AI has come on in leaps and bounds with regard to voice overs, but it needs to work on words like 'reverb' as that is such a giveaway. As for UVI Falcon? I'm currently learning Lua Script and it makes Falcon not just fly, but soar!!!

12:00 very Flashbulb. So thats a Cartesian Sequencer. Awesome!!!

So this is the best advert for Falcon

UVI Falcon 3 is 43% off until November 5th and comes with a $100 voucher for expansions. On top of that they're doing BOGOs on expansions until the 5th as well.

Might buy it the same year UVI dump iLok...

You're VST choices seem reasonable :D

The artificial voice-overs are fantastic. The first one fooled me, I thought it was real

I love falcon but adding and editting modulations in it is a massive pain in the ass, maybe something changed now. Doesnt look like it from this video though.

Must use Falcon more. Have found it dry but this helps. Cheers Benn. Outnof curiosity, what did you use for the voice overs? They sound scarily authentic

Too good to be true!

I love a good organ.

The voice over just keeps getting better. Was that falcon also? Lol

That heroes of might and magic 3 reference at 11:10 😅

that traffic jam definitely got me to enlightenment....super enlightened.

It's the best especially for sound designing

Always in awe of what you’re capable of, these youngings messing around with serum are child’s play on comparison to you

10:12 I love Soldier Boy. I was just watching Gen V, can't wait for the return The Boys!

Great Eleven Labs demo too 😂

Phase Plant is slowly becoming more and more ridiculously powerful.

This video needs the voice of Gandolf saying, "Kontakt, go back to the shadows!"

I'm going to need a Benn Jordan bobble-head to put next to my Eric Persing one.

UVI should add this video to the Falcon presentation playlist

This looks super flexible and useful. But as they say "the best synth is the one you use", and this interface is just not one that would encourage me to play with it. It just looks too much like a node-based programming environment for me to use it for something that's supposed to be "fun".

OMFG!!! UVI have a sale on, Falcon is worth the ticket by itself......desert island disks....lmao

Vosm giving me strong memories of Delay Lama!

You are a wizard

I found out about UVI in one of your videos and can't stop using their products. The effects?!?!
