Okay, I have been working with Falcon for a while now and have created over 250 patches. I have a pretty solid handle on this software.
Having said that, there are some serious problems in the sample section. The only things I can get to work without crashing my DAW are the granular and multi granular. Stretch, Scrub, Slice and even just plain Sample cause problems.
Just today I took a sample about 15 seconds long and put it in the plain sample function. I looped and crossfaded it. Nothing fancy. I then added reverb to the program level. Played it for a few minutes and then suddenly my Steinberg UR28M started a loud hum and Cubase locked up. This is not the first time this has happened.
I have yet to have any problems with granular or multi granular, which I find odd since that is a more complicated function.
Now I seem to remember somewhere in this thread UVI mentioning that they did find a bug in Stretch and would be fixed in 1.0.2. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Is it possible that this same bug is in the other sample functions as well or a bug similar to it?
As of right now, there are functions in this software that I can't use because they cause DAW lockups. That limits the kinds of patches that I can create, though even without those functions you could probably program this thing for 10 years and not run out of ideas. Still, it would be nice if these issues were addressed. I can send the sample that caused the problem and recreate the program if I have to as long as I don't have to play any notes. I'll be happy to oblige.
Please don't misunderstand. I am not criticizing Falcon. It is new and therefore there is likely to be bugs. It is still my favorite VST synth hands down. I'd just like to get these additional functions working properly.
Let me know how to proceed in order to lend my assistance.

There is a known bug regarding crossfaded alternate looping in Sample oscillator.
You actually send me the file, I answered you about this and told you it will be fixed in 1.0.2
Can you clarify your other issues ?
Thanks,

Falcon works as expected in Cubase 8, why don't you program stuff in standalone mode if your DAW keeps on crashing?

Ah, okay. I thought it was the stretch function where the problem was. That's what happens when you're 57 years old and your memory isn't what is used to be.otristan wrote:There is a known bug regarding crossfaded alternate looping in Sample oscillator.

So then the stretch bug hasn't been found yet? Because that also caused my DAW to lock up, though that was during 1.0.0 and I haven't tested it since.

So then you're not experiencing the sample xfade loop problem that Olivier posted about above?Sampleconstruct wrote:Falcon works as expected in Cubase 8, why don't you program stuff in standalone mode if your DAW keeps on crashing?
As for programming in standalone, it makes it difficult because I use samples that I create from various synths that don't have standalone modes that I use in Cubase. With UR28M and Axiom in use by Cubase 7 (I have never gone to I don't think my PC will allow me to use the soundcard and keyboard in two different programs. I know when I try to use Cubase and say Reaper, the 2nd DAW I try to open says soundcard in use and won't open it.
Either way, it is just more convenient for me to have everything in one place for what I'm doing taking so many samples.

Well, it's a known bug which has been fixed in the Beta. But why not make the samples first and then import/edit/map/patchify them in standalone?

Thanks Olivier. I'll see if I can reproduce the problem. If I can, where do I send the sample and patch to?otristan wrote:If you reproduce your issue regarding the stretch oscillator, please let us know and we will have a look.

Anybody know if I can use my 100$ voucher on top of the already discounted black friday deals? I'm eyeing the massive Vintage Vault bundle.
Speaking of Vintage Vault, I assume it loads into Falcon effortlessly?
