    Hmm. Each to their own, I suppose.

    Sonically it's pretty fabulous, particularly in the clarity of the bottom end - something that Omnisphere sadly lacks. Also, the sample libraries generally perform really well and some of them, particularly some of the pianos, are as good as Ive heard. Less harsh than Pianoteq and more sonically accurate than XLN. Yeah, some of the synths are a bit pedestrian but show me a synth that doesn't contain sounds that you've heard a million times before.

    Overall, Im liking it.

    Oh, and World 2 is amazingly disappointing.

    I've only been using it for a day and I've already been offered a record deal by Universal Music.

    Falcon is a powerful sampler, no doubts. And UVI libraries rock, especially those for vintage synths (many of them non-present here). I will use it as a player machine as I did with legit UVI workstation before "The Gong release". Comparing to Nexus or Omnisphere, UVI libraries have more character and sound better to me, at least in synth and electronic drums territory. With those three goliaths present (plus many great VSTis) I think that I reach the moment, when I will be able to say: "i don't need any new synth sound for at least three years from now".

    Audiosex cracked, population increase reported...

    Sometimes this site is a testament that people tend to appreciate what they pay for and do not appreciate what they do not.
    Guaranteed though if R2R turned around and said 'you unappreciative bastards go screw yourselves, we are not doing any more", people would continue to complain without realising they probably contributed to it.

    Famous old saying.... "Be grateful for small mercies"

    I'm kidding! lol. Actually I always wanted the World Suite 2 library after watching Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater keyboardist, a metalhead, if anyone is wondering) demoing it. Well he also did for the Sample Tank but not this good.

    I tried the vector pro libraries and they are not bad .. then I turned on my Prophet Vs and I wanted to shut down the pc .. who comes from the 80s will never be able to accept technological compromises (at least me) .. but uvi remains an excellent and valid product

    I was just about to mention Rudess cause he's a keyboard freak. I don't listen to Dream Theater much but I love seeing Rudess come up in an article talking about which plugins and gear he uses, that's always interesting to me. You barely ever see the synth side of metal come up, at least I don't. World Suite 2 sounds so damn interesting.

    Some of the people who test the Falcon have no idea, so they are laypeople or dillettantes. You open the Falcon
    once, click around a bit, close it again and then write a review, neither read the manual nor test it extensively.

    The topic is "Not impressed by Falcon, am I the only one". Nothing to do with R2R. Did I miss something?
    I, myself, am personally grateful to all teams & individuals who give us the chance to experience software releases for ourselves.

    Falcon is more of a Rompler than a sampler/synth. Thus the Pros vs the Cons.

    Interested to see how the Synth, E-piano & Acoustic Piano libraries fair in comparison to Diva, The legend, Omnispshere & Serum for starters. Then there are the free offerings from Full Bucket Music, Surge Synth Team, discoDSP, VCV Rack, u-he, Matt Tytel, Martin Lueders & Nils Schnieder as examples.

    I'm somewhat in the same boat as you but, it's not because the product is bad, i watched some videos about Falcon and let me tell you, it is a complicated product, it require time and energy and a learning curve to understand it and then appreciate it...

    plus, Falcon is like a big sampler similar to Kontakt it has many libraries, i'm still waiting on the dust to settle so i can download and try them, because libraries don't require the same knowledge level to operate as let's say a synth, and i'm looking forward to it.

    just grateful i'll get to test them libraries...

    That is not right.

    1.) The Falcon is hybrid. It is a sampler and a synthesizer at the same time.
    UVI Falcon isn't just another synthesizer plug-in. It is a complete workstation
    with a number of oscillators, wavetables, granular synthesis and sampling.

    2.) I made 2 sound banks for the Falcon.

    That's typical again, they let everything be shoved up their asses, don't pay a cent for it, and then instead of being grateful, they open their mouths and complain. All this whining here is starting to get on my nerves. No one is forcing them to download anything from the sister site. And those who cry the most here probably also have the smallest penis.
