Beyond polished and clever, beyond refined…there is that realm of experimental sound design that just plain blows your mind....transporting you across those moments of listening to the history of electronic music that continue to inspire in the present moment.

Presently enjoying an audition stasis point in the 'Drones' folder, somewhere between Ben Frost and Gorecki?

Beautiful job on this second installment Simon, thanks

Coming next:

Falcon Singles - Hang

Multi-sampled HANG percussion, deeply sampled with plenty of articulations, textures and electronic derivatives. The nine pitches of the Hang wer sampled at 5 velocity layers and 6x round robin, two articulations were sampled (mallet/hand), also the backside of the Hang producing some amazing sub-bass tones was captured. Dynamic tremolos for each pitch (hand/fingers/mallet) were also recorded, dozens of little rubber balls were inserted into the instrument creating sublime pentatonic texures, wavetables were extracted from Hang samples, textural Hang sounds were re-synthesized and processed with a plethora of applications to compose a unique collection of mellow, beautiful, mysterious, haunting and new-agey sounds. The original tuning of the Hang was preserved in many patches, there are also alternative patches with “tuned“ samples which don't deviate from the traditional tempered tuning.

Up to 20+ Macros and switches plus the modulation wheel are assigned in each patch, many patches also use aftertouch, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, dynamics, stereo animation and more. All patches use some sort of background image in the UI, split patches have colored key-zones in the Falcon keyboard for easier navigation.

As some of these samples are borrowed from my HALion 5 library Aureus Ventus, license holders of AV get a 20% discount on this library, a dedicated paypal button has been installed on the product page.

Specs:

*Approximately 1.5 GB of samples (600+ wavs/48 Khz/24 Bit/stereo)
*Approximately 30 - 40 patches
*Content is not encrypted, samples and wavetables can be used in other samplers and synths.
*Delivery: download (compressed RAR-archive)
*Release: second half of March
*Requires the full version of Falcon, does not work with the UVI player.
*Price on release: € 45 EUR
*Pre-order price: € 35 EUR

Improvising with a single patch from the upcoming sound library Falcon Singles - HANG, some Macro/modwheel automation.

Patch description:

A long processed Hang scape exciting the resonators in the pluck oscillator, sample start is randomized. In a 2nd multi-granular oscillator there is a Hang tremolo texture played with hands on all pitches of the instrument, control it's volume with the assigned Macro, grain speed/position are randomized.

Pluck osc is set to inharmonic/sustain/stretch mode, control the decay of the resonances and modulation of the stretch parameter via LFO with the assigned Macros. MW decouples the two strings, creating RM-like effects and randomizes grain pitch in OSC2. Tune string two up a perfect fifth/octave with a Macro (scaled via mapper).

More Macros let you dial in tempo-synced LP filter cutoff/resonance/drive modulation, Thorus/delay/reverb/limiter FX.

15 Macros and 2 switches are assigned.

Live on video: demonstrating/improvising with the Falcon patch Granular Harmonics from Falcon Singles - HANG.

Patch description:

Wave-tabled/spectralized rubber-ball Hang textures running in multi-granular mode with zone crossfades between A#2 - G3 , two pitches were sampled at C1/C3, mapped one octave higher in Falcon (C3 sounds C2).
Granular controls for speed/perforation/position (also via AT) are installed, MW randomizes grain pitch. An analog LP filter has a cutoff control, with the cutoff Macro dialed to the left, slow, tempo-synced filter modulation can be engaged with another Macro.
In a 2nd layer there is an analog stack drone with PWM and filter modulation (on layer level), control overall volume and volume of the sub-oscillator (OSC4) with 2 Macros. More controls for Thorus/delay/reverb/limiter FX are available. 15 Macros and an on/off-switch for the limiter are installed.

Here comes a first demo for the Falcon patch Mallet Hang RR6 5Vel 9Pitches from Falcon Singles - HANG.

Multi-sampled Hang played with a hard felt mallet, all 9 pitches were sampled at 5 velocity layers / 6x round robin (270 samples are used in this patch - wav 48Khz/24 Bit/stereo - recorded in L-C-R with 3 Neumann microphones, all signals are phase-aligned). As the original tuning of the Hang deviates somewhat from the normal tempered tuning (between 17 and 42 cents above tempered tuning -> 440Hz) you can dial in tempered tuning with a Macro, dialed hard right all pitches are 100% tempered. Only the 9 original pitches are mapped in this patch.

Two key-switches let you select the round robin mode, KS1 located at C0 selects cycle round robin (all 6 samples in a chain are played consecutively), KS2 at D0 selects random cycle round robin (Each oscillator will always be triggered once per cycle. Additionally, the first note of a cycle will never be the same as the last note of the previous cycle, so there won’t be any direct repeats).

20+ Macros are available for full ADSR control, panning randomization per note, EQ with 3 bands, Thorus/delay/convolution/algorithmic reverb/compressor/maximizer. MW adds pitch randomization per note.

I'll make a chromatic patch next, also adding round robin bass/sub samples from the backside of the instrument. Then there is the finger articulation to cut and edit (also 270 samples).

Jamming with the patch Sub Hits RR9 from Falcon Singles - HANG, some modwheel/pitchbend action and Macro automation.

Patch description:

Hitting the backside of the Hang with the flat hand, sampled with 9x round robin. Tuning is set to quarter tones (key follow -> 50%) so two octaves on the keyboard equal one octave in actual pitch change.
Randomize pitch, engage a velocity sensitive LP filter, add distortion (Diode Clipper) with the assigned Macros. More controls for attack/release/EQ/delay/convolution reverb/Maximizer FX are available.
MW decreases sustain level, so velocity sensitive decay becomes active. PB is set to -/+ 2 octaves.
13 Macros and 2 switches are installed.

Ambient ballad (what's that?) featuring two patches from Falcon Singles - HANG, some Macro/modwheel automation. The main patch already has a description:

Cave Hang
Multi-sampled, spectrally re-synthesized and stretched mallet Hang accents sampled at 8 pitches between G1 – F#5, the tails are looped, the sample zones are crossfading, a velocity sensitive LP filter in L1 can be dialed in with a Macro. In L2 there is a stereo noise oscillator processed by a tuned bandpass filter, wave-shaper distortion can be dialed in, the noise synth has a dedicated volume control. MW adds tempo-synced, square-shaped pitch/filter/pan modulation in both layers, +1 octave with the wheel fully engaged. Full ADSR controls and a Macros for velocity sensitivity and sample start control via VEL are available, Thorus FX can be added to the Hang layer, there are more controls for Phasor/delay/reverb/limiter FX.

The other sounds in the background come from a split patch with two processed Hang scapes, one of them running in granular mode.

Five instances of Falcon using 5 patches from Falcon Singles - HANG, some Macro/modwheel/volume automation. All sounds you hear are either multi-sampled Hang (the mallet version) or derivatives of Hang sounds (wave-tabled, granulated).

Another 90 samples from the hand articulation to polish, I can see the finishing line, all fence-sitters should make up their mind soon and pre-order if they want to save some cash.
