DEEP BASS AND DARK ELEMENTS
Trek into the dark unknown with this hard-hitting collection of sounds created for producers
of modern bass, post-EDM, DnB, garage and more - perfect for anyone looking to add
brutal, cutting-edge sound design to their music, film or game scores.
Meticulously designed, raw and powerful, Subculture delivers a premier collection of subs,
stabs, bass leads, atmospheres and FX developed by Richard Gale and Carlo de Gregorio.
Their second Falcon expansion, this time delving into the underground, opens the gateway
to a shadowy world of snarling basses, dark ambiances, rhythmic tempo-synced patches,
emotive, cinematic textures and more.
With a diverse collection of expressive and musical patches, the sounds of Subculture
bristle with the movement and energy of analog but bite and tear with digital precision,
ready to be played, tweaked and mangled to depths limited only by your imagination.
The versatility and clarity made possible by Falcon is evident throughout this collection,
utilizing numerous synthesis techniques including wavetable, multi-granular and scrub,
as well as robust use of eects and modulators. Sounds can all be quickly previewed,
edited, layered or performed with nearly limitless variation thanks to Falcon’s semi-modular
architecture.
MADE FOR FALCON
The SubCulture expansion leverages the advanced synthesis capabilities and software
architecture of Falcon, which sports 15 oscillators, over 80 eects and a fast and intuitive
interface that adeptly handles both basic tasks and deep instrument design. All presets
have been programmed with macros which provide the user with easy access to the key
parameters of each patch. These may be controlled via MIDI, OSC, host automation and Lua
scripting, allowing for easy customization and expressive performance capabilities.
Take your experience to the next level with this expertly-crafted Falcon expansion pack.
(Falcon license required. Not compatible with UVI Workstation.)

INTERFACE » MAIN » INFO
MACROS
Same as Falcon Factory Content, SubCulture’s patches
have been programed with macros which provide users
with easy access to the ‘key’ parameters of each patch.
These may be controlled via MIDI, OSC, host automation
and Lua scripting, allowing for easy customization and
expressive performance capabilities.
To change the layout of the macro controls, press the
EDIT button in the upper left to switch to Edit Mode. You
can freely move controls, double-click a label to rename
it, or access additional commands from the right-click
contextual menu. For more details on macros, please see
Falcon’s software manual.
PROGRAM INFORMATION
Press the (I) button in the upper right to display program
information. Many factory presets will contain details
about the program such as modwheel assignments,
macro descriptions or tips for playing it. You can add and
save descriptions for your own programs as well.
KEYBOARD
At the bottom of the Info tab, a keyboard is displayed and
can be clicked to play the program. The key range of the
program is highlighted, with keys outside the key range
darkened. If keyswitch layer rules have been created,
those keys are highlighted blue. Additionally, key color
can be customized using the Script Processor. For more
details on keyswitches, please check Falcon’s software
manual.

The Info tab provides an overview of
the selected program, houses macro
controls, and provides a location for
custom text and images via. the (I)
view.

If you want more control over a
sound than the macros provide, the
EDIT tab gives you full access to all
parameters. Here you can make fine
adjustments to any aspect of a sound
or redesign it in any way you can
imagine. Here is a brief overview of
the EDIT screen hierarchy, for more
information please consult the Falcon
software manual.
EDIT
LAYERS OF A PATCH
Patches in Falcon are created within a fixed hierarchy that
can be thought of like layers or folders. At the very top is the
Program, inside the Program are Layers, within each Layer are
Keygroups, and inside the Keygroups are Oscillators. Audio
eects, MIDI eects and modulators can be placed on any
level. While patches can be as simple as a single oscillator, the
structure of Falcon allows for wildly complex sounds of nearly
any variety to be quickly created and edited.
PROGRAM EDITOR
The top-most level of your patch, use the Program editor to
make broad changes that eect the overall sound of your
patch. For example, try adding audio or MIDI eects, or
adjusting volume, pan and pitch.
LAYER EDITOR
Layers are used to group and modify Keygroups. Here you
can add audio eects, MIDI eects and modulations just like
the Program level but you also have control of attributes like
velocity curve, polyphony modes and unison settings.
KEYGROUP EDITOR
Keygroups are the ground level of your patch, they can
hold any number of oscillators and define which MIDI notes
and velocity ranges trigger those oscillators. They also set
basic oscillator attributes like pitch and trigger modes. Like
the previous ‘folders’, keygroups can contain eects and
modulators, but there is one significant dierence: eects
instanced at the keygroup level operate per-voice. This can
have fantastic eects, but comes at an additional CPU cost so
consider how you use it carefully.

MAPPING EDITOR
The mapping editor allows you to define the note and velocity
ranges of the selected keygroup. A patch can be as simple
as one keygroup that spans all notes and velocities, or as
complex as your desired sound requires; there are no set
limits.
OSCILLATOR EDITOR
Falcon has many types of oscillators including sample-based
and algorithmic. Here you can edit existing oscillators, change
them or add new ones.
MODULATION EDITOR
Modulators can be instanced at any of the levels mentioned
above and this particular editor provides a centralized view
of all of them - allowing editing of modulator parameters (e.g.
LFO speed, ADSR values etc.) along with their assignments.
All modulators in a patch are represented by tabs. Once
clicked, the modulators’ assignments are displayed directly
above the tab. Here you can edit how they eect the various
parameters they are assigned to in your patch.
