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.

Demo for a single patch from Falcon Singles - HANG -> Hang FM

Description:
The lower three velocity layers from the mallet Hang, sampled at 6x round robin, layered with an FM synth in L2, running in unison mode (2 voices) with unison stereo spread and a bit of randomized unison detune. The FM synth has a dedicated volume control.
A velocity sensitive waveshaper can be dialed in in the Hang layer, sustain/release for the Hang sound can be controlled with 2 Macros, more Macros are available for compressor/Thorus/delay/reverb/Maximizer FX.
11 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.

Will definitely be picking this up at some point-- sounds amazing. I've just been a bit libertine with the guitar gear spending recently.
Tangled roots perplex her ways.

Thanks, guitar gear is just as important though :)

No arguments there. :clap:

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.

Demos (audio+video) for the Falcon patch "Hang Chromatic Articulation Split" from Falcon Singles - HANG, this patch combines two multi-sampled articulations (mallets/hand - 6x round robin, 5 velocity layers) split across the keyboard, 540 samples are mapped.

Two patches from the Texture-folder in Falcon Singles - HANG in ambient action, some Macro/modwheel and volume automation. I'm aiming for Monday to release this, maybe earlier.

So here comes the HANG:

Falcon Singles - HANG

Multi-sampled HANG percussion, deeply sampled with plenty of articulations, textures and electronic derivatives. The nine pitches of the Hang were sampled at 5 velocity layers and 6x round robin, two articulations were sampled (mallet/hand), also the backside of the Hang was captured, producing some remarkable sub-bass tones. Dynamic tremolos for each pitch (hand/fingers/mallet) were also recorded, dozens of little rubber balls were inserted into the instrument creating sublime pentatonic textures, wavetables were extracted from Hang samples, textural Hang sounds were re-synthesized and processed with a plethora of sonic tools to compose a unique collection of mellow, beautiful, mysterious, haunting and new-age sounds. The original tuning of the Hang was preserved in many patches, in quite a few presets there is a Macro installed which will tune the samples to the traditional tempered tuning.

Up to 25 Macros and switches are assigned in each patch, most presets make use of the modulation wheel, many patches also use aftertouch and modulation via velocity, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, dynamics, EQ, 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.

All Hang samples were produced at a resolution of wav 48Khz/24 Bit/stereo - recorded in L-C-R with 3 Neumann microphones, all signals are phase-aligned.

Here is a first demo for the next release from the Falcon Singles-series -> Crotales.

Improvising with the patch Bowed Crotales from Falcon Singles - Crotales, 2 octaves of chromatically sample bowed crotales with 2x round robin, sample start modulation via velocity can be dialed in with a Macro and lots of other things too, some automation of the Rotary FX (mix/speed) is happening in the demo.
