UVI's new Falcon hybrid synth's specs are pretty epic
Soft-synth rocks 15 oscillators, extensive modulation and customisation
UVI has announced Falcon, a 15-oscillator hybrid synth covering both synthesis and sampling techniques, and that's just the beginning.
The sound sources range from time stretching and granular sample engines to synthesis oscillators including Wavetable, FM, VA, Drum and a Pluck physical modeling oscillator.
Alongside this very extensive selection of sound sources, Falcon also features a vast array of modulation allowing you to either drag-and-drop modulations and sub-modulations, or grabbing one of the many script processors to creatively tune, modify or sequence your patterns.
Advanced users can take instrument design further by creating custom script processors that can generate, or modify MIDI data. You can even design fully-skinned instruments with the Lua language.
The Falcon is available now for introductory price of $229, with a regular price of $349. It's compatible in 64-bit stand-alone and plug-in formats and supports surround setups up to 10.2 channels. It is also compatible with all UVI powered soundbanks, and authorised on a maximum of three iLok keys.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
