    Hello everyone. Help, guys. I've been struggling with this for a few days now, and I'm not quite sure if I'm doing it right.
    Here's the problem.
    I want to separate Falcon instruments onto different tracks in Reaper so I can assign notes to them separately in the piano roll. You understand, so I don't have to load Falcon up on each track separately, wasting unnecessary PC resources.
    But I can't seem to get it done. I've tried everything—sends, selecting MIDI Out on each instrument—but it's all to no avail. There's no sound. The signal indicator on the track jumps, but no sound comes through. So, it's as if whatever I have on the track, written in the piano roll, isn't coming through in Falcon. Everything only works on the Main Out.
    I hope you understand my question.
    I need the piano roll data from each track in the reaper to be processed separately by Falcon and output as audio. This allows me to write separate parts for each instrument in Falcon.

    Sounds like you are wanting to do something like a Kontakt multi in Falcon. One instance of Falcon containing a number of different instruments. Each one has a different MIDI track feeding in and then sending their signals out to independent tracks for capture and processing. If so, this is how I would do that.

    1) Load/open Falcon on a track

    2) Load some instruments in the Parts (left) column
    *suggest you start with just two to keep the first try simple. Make them very different so you can clearly distinguish them in the test later.

    3) MIDI Routing
    With the Falcon instance (FX window) open, click the 'Edit' option in the top left menu. Scroll to the bottom and click "Build 16 Channels of MIDI Routing..." In this instance you only need the first 2 so select and delete the rest.

    4) Output Routing
    As above, via the same 'Edit' option, but now click "Build multichannel routing for output..." Again, delete all but the first 2 tracks.

    5) Route instruments in Falcon
    Each instance is routed to 'Main Out' by default. We can leave the first track as is. Left click where you see the words 'Main Out' on the 2nd instrument. A long list of outputs will appear. Select 'Out 2'

    6) Test
    Put some MIDI in each track. Maybe long whole notes in one, and an 8th or 16th note ostinato in the other. Hit play. You should hear both parts being played by the corresponding instrument, and see the signals routed separately to the two output tracks.

    If you do, you now have the means to build out bigger instances, with more instruments hosted in Falcon. However, unless you have a smokingly jacked system, you will likely hit processing limits fairly quickly

    If you are not hearing anything, check the routing of the MIDI tracks. In this instance the Send should be something like
    "Send to track 1 'Falcon'"
    Audio: None
    MIDI: All -> 1 (for the 1st MIDI track)
    MIDI: All -> 2 (for the 2nd MIDI track)

    Hopefully that make sense and is helpful.

    **I'm not a superstar at this stuff. Enough knowledge to be dangerous. If someone else knows a more efficient way to do this, hopefully they will chime in :wink:

    Addition... if you are familiar with manually adding and routing tracks you don't have to use those 'Edit' option links. The nice thing there is the routing for multiple tracks is done right with a single click.

    Thanks for answer)
    I opened Edit, but there so many parameters,my eyes are running wild XD
    Where is this parameter here? Of course, I read on the internet that some people select Midi Out it in the section EVENT,which in Layers section.
    I dont really know is this what we are talking about?

    I think you over complicate it. To send midi to one midi channel in falcon, click on the A1 button, and choose your channel:

    The same with routing audio to specific channels:
    Click on the 'main out' and choose a specific channel, to separate your audio.

    [​IMG]

    so, For sending midi channel one and two to different instruments, but the audio combined it looks like this:

    [​IMG]

    so, in total, with routing, and sending the audio to different channels, it looks like this:

    [​IMG]

    What i forgot to clarify: If you want to use more than two audio channels for Falcon, you need to specify the track channels in the routing menu. (see the image above, where I did choose 6 channels)

    You're my savior!)) Thank you. The main thing is that I now understand the mechanics of these sends. For some reason, I thought I could output the audio to one track and then run a MIDI file from that same track into Falcon. But if everything works 100% with multiple tracks, that's great. Thanks again!

    I've been using Falcon on two Macs in Logic for a good number of years now, and those 2 are a laptop and a server Mac. They have some differences in resources. But this is the same bigger picture kind of thing on a PC. Since you mention resources, here's a tip.

    If you are using a single multi-part Falcon instance to save resources, you're probably not doing yourself any favors that way. For organization and routing, just like in Kontakt, Falcon is great for that. I almost never do that though, because multiple instances scale better in Logic sessions. Spreading the load across your entire processor is always more stable then letting it peg a single core. A single instance of Falcon is really only a better option if the machine is really low on RAM.

    Thanks for advice. I have 32gb DDR5 RAM, i think its enough for my project's, but besides Falcon i use many different plugins for guitar/drums/bass,soI think it would be a good idea to reduce the load on my PC. Regardind Falcon. I write metal with few synths,exactly "few", 2-3 instruments enough for me)

    Some people just like to put multiple parts for organization reasons, which is a workflow thing for them. They'll do things that way no matter what. Multiple instances get spread out to multiple cpu cores but use more RAM. The single instance approach will use less RAM but it will pile all that work onto the same core while others are idle. Two parts probably won't be a major difference for you in either direction.

    It's me again my friend.Today i tried your guide for me,but i was a little bit confused)
    Can you explain me about stereo channels. Idk why but all my instruments sound as if together with falcon channel. Sound it becomes as if twisted and very loud
    Sound not separate to Audio 1 and Audio 2 lines. I think I split the MIDI tracks into separate ones, and yes, that works. But the sound seems to be coming together, the Falcon track and Audio 1 . This whole stereo channel thing is a bit confusing to me. Sorry, I'm more of a performer than a sound engineer.
