UVI Falcon 2 in-depth walkthrough
UVI Falcon 2 recently got released, it introduced several new elements from a new additive oscillator to two Euclidean sequencers.
One of the biggest new additions to UVI Falcon 2 is the new Additive Oscillator, it features several nifty parameters for shaping your sound in various ways.
The interesting thing about this module, traditional filters work by removing certain frequencies determined by the filter parameters – while the filter section in the Additive Oscillator changes how each of the partials within the sound is generated.
This offers a different approach to the traditional filter sound, however, it doesn’t end there. Parameters such as “Dissonance” affect the spacing between the partials while the fundamental frequency, or overall pitch of the sound, remains the same.
Of course, all of these parameters can be modulated using Falcon’s vast modulation system, by applying some LFOs to the filter and other settings within just the single oscillator module you are able to create a huge variety of different sounds. You’re not limited here, you could stack up various oscillators, still run it through further “subtractive” effects and more.
The new Euclidean sequencers…
One of my personal favourite additions in the new UVI Falcon 2 is the two new Euclidean sequencer. They have introduced both a tonal sequencer and a drum sequencer, and as the names suggest they’re fine-tuned for specific applications.
The Euclidean Tonal Sequencer is an incredibly easy-to-use module for creating a variety of interesting melodic patterns, it’s capable of sending polyphonic notes and works by snapping notes automatically to a scale that you determine.
The Euclidean Drum sequencer works in a similar way, however instead of scales it’s pre-mapped to common MIDI drum assignments, however, you can easily change those. The visual element in both of the new sequencers is amazing, making it easy to get something going quickly.
