crazy great
I got Falcon v.1 a long time ago. Years later, I'm actually a decent sound designer now, and can appreciate how crazy strong Falcon 3 is.
IMO Falcon is best thought of as a "sound design environment" e.g. it is far beyond a synthesizer. Buy some of the other UVI sounds and tools that can also be used in Falcon and you have an even deeper toolset, though factory Falcon 3 is itself extremely deep.
The learning curve is pretty steep, but that's because of how powerful Falcon is. Spend a few hours with the very good manual and you'll be off to the races.
I own over 300 software instruments, and nothing I have is more powerful or better sounding than Falcon.
I don't post many reviews but felt compelled to out of admiration of what UVI has built.
INCREDIBLE PACKAGE!
Excellent program, great presets to start you off with! it does take some time to navigate, but there is so much you can do with this program worth ever penny
