"Resale prohibited" probably?

There is still a fourth of that kind sleeping, named "Halion", in need of a sample library from this millenium. Time for Yamaberg to buy the few 3rd party libs available, bribe some companies to go from Kontakt to Halion and make us an "Absolute" offer we can't refuse.

Hello @timer, thanks for the information and your new coinage, "Yamaberg."

Usually, it works like this: a sound designer works on behalf of Steinberg, or a sound designer offers a soundset for Halion on the open market. When commissioned by Steinberg, you lose all rights to your soundset.

 

Anyone who has used Falcon with a lot of libraries knows it suffered up to and including version 3 of the same thing Analog Lab used to suffer from..

If you have a lot of libraries it reads every library on load unless you go into preferences and turn the reading off. That's fine but the moment you search, it will go dog slow again and re-read the indexation. If they fixed this, then that's a great change. If not, then there are plenty of other competitors that do not suffer from this horrible loading mechanism.

 

With a good NVME hard drive, i don't see that much problem.
I put all my intense libraries (kontakt, Falcon, nexus ...) on it.

 

I have 141 uvi falcon libraries on my HDD
with Windows 10, and now that I've tried the falkon version, it runs much faster than the falcon version. I recommend it. All versions are R2R.

 

The recent “Falkon” post in the museum has me thinking I already have a way to run both versions, instead of two versions running in the same system, I just have the version up to date on my Mac and windows has the previous version that can see all the libraries, I just run the different versions on their corresponding hardware and now I’m kinda craving the phase distortion oscillator again

 

A rework of the for me chaotic browser, would be my favorite over all other new features for Falcon.
The rest is good already once learned how to build own instruments and stuff.

 

I have a purchased version; perhaps the current data, including the attached changelog, will help you further:

UVI - Falcon - Version: 26 | Updated: 16/10/2025

Falcon Factory - Download - 966.7MB
Falcon Factory rev2 - Download - 1.1GB RAR format
TagLibrary - Download - 2.5GB RAR format

 

Agreed something needs to be done. Falcon simply has far too much stuff in its browser, with endless nested trees and tiresome vertical scrolling

 

I have spent years in Omnisphere and never produced anything, just spent my time playing with their over processed presets. Most of them fill all the space and there is no significant space left. Their UI is a waste of space in tons of sub-screens. And, the closing point, is the presets keyboard mapping. It's so inconsistent between presets, that you have to switch each time to keyboard mapping screen to see how it is meant to be played.
After all these years, I decided to go the Falcon way and to buy the strict amount of extensions that I use in my style and not spending my time in a mess of 10's of musical styles.
And, at the end of the end, Omnisphere doesn't have additive synthesis which Falcon has and I use a lot

 

Limiting Falcon to a samples bank player and comparing it to others sample oriented players (which Omnisphere is), is missing half of the concept. The other synthesis half, has to be compared to the upcoming Zebra 3. You have both sides in a single product. At actual BF prices, it's a very serious deal.

 

Falcon and Omnisphere 3 are both hybrid instruments. Both have a fully-fledged, advanced synthesizer built in.
Both have excellent sound. Both have the ability to load samples.

Quite high-end, outstanding for professional musicians working with game music, film scores, and other professional music.
The Zebra performs at a high level of quality, even among the very best.

I tried them all for years (including Zebralette 3), I can definitely say that if need to keep a single one for simplicity, it's Falcon. No doubts. It can easely be compared against a qualitative mix of synths.

The thing that sets Omnisphere apart from Falcon is you get a nice meaty library to start whereas Falcon only has the synthesis and you would have to either buy a library or make your own which may take some time, and Falcon does have more synthesis options than Omnisphere so you can get a trade-off of what you might want more

 

Hi all,
I've been getting this message at startup after install the new Falcon from the sister site:
"No license was found for Falcon Factory rev2.ufs. Please run iLok License Manager and ensure an activation is available on your..."

I uninstalled the previous Falcon version, placed the new Factory Library Rev2 in its folder, installed the new one, then ran the latest UVIEM and CacheBuilder.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or what could be causing the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

 

Problem solved. Just run the cachebuilder again at "C:\Program Files\TEAM R2R\UVIEMU". Restart DAW.

 

I had this problem. I didn't have my Factory Library Rev2 in a folder set in Preferences > Soundbanks so I had to set that up. Also make sure you have the Factory Library Rev2 R2RUVI file in your C:/ProgramData/UVI/R2R folder and run Cachebuilder again. Then you need to restart your DAW.

 

Now sorted! Thank you so much guys.

 

To me, when it comes to sound design, Falcon is much better than Omnisphere.

 

Falcon better than omnisphere???? HAHA u must be out of ur mind, i sold my 2026 version for 100 bucks,,, its too complex man, does it sound good, yes... but it takes fking 8hrs to make a patch!!!!

OT: i have 3 exp packs for sale, Analog motion, Pulsar, Titanium !! if anyone wants them 10dollar each is fine!

Have a great day, NOTHING owns Omnisphere!!! Closest is Nexus 5.!!! CMON be realistic here!

EDIT: i know you said "in sounddesign Falocon wins" but still i don't agree, the whole hiearchy thing is so anoying, in omni u can right click anything, get the window to the left, show modulation or make a new one. and DONE. You can also lock sounds, and link them, and yeah multis. with aux sends.
Falcons effects are dope AF, but they made Falcon too deep!!!

I can see the benefit if you practise, and use it daily, but soundwise, Omni still wins. ez.

Regards

Johnny, also nexus sounds better, it too has some problematic "routing" and "modulating" but is easier than Falcon....

I had Falcon for 5 years. i tried to use it but it just ended up being a mess, and the envelopes?? in the beggining, and then all the layers on top of eachother, if you want to change some thing you need to know exactly where to go and what it will do to the other current settings, like ADSR and envelopes... keysplit,, yeah useless... Samples.. useless.. hmm...
