Lua resources for UVI Falcon scripting

Hm that sound tedious, imagine how much efford on an arpeggio Can that manual Trigger be triggereed with an script event? How about filter keytrack?

Yes, you can use it with a script. Keytracking should also be possible to do in the script.

Hey guys I just bought UVI Falcon and I really wonder if it is possible to code somethine like NI Playbox in UVI Falcon

From what I can tell, the playbox "strums" instruments. These instruments are layered; you can select chords for the strumming; and there are FX? The answer is yes. In fact Falcon may already come with a script for strumming. Based on screenshots, it seems to also have an arpeggiator. Definitely something you can create. You can also add an arpeggiator script to a project.

Thanks for your answer but its much much much deeper.

You could probably do a lot of it in Falcon, yes, but it would take a lot of work!

I looked further and read the descriptions under the slideshow. You can export MIDI files and drag them into the DAW. Falcon can do this. XY grid, select samples for specific notes (in chord), FX presets, randomization of settings, lfo settings, humanization (types of randomization of MIDI events): It can do those things. You can also import samples.

You can't drag+import MIDI files. Instead you need to follow a separate process of selecting files through the interface.

One catch is that what you can technically create in Falcon may, or may not, align with what you can license as a 3rd party developer.

I have updated the scripts on my github page. There is now a «compiled» folder where all the scripts are standalone, so no includes are required. I recommend checking out the generative grid sequencer. It is a lot of fun!

Than you for sharing those scripts. They are amazing. Do you happen to know if there is any way to do a script for panning a sound beyond Left and right when you use Falcon in 5.1 or 7.1

For those not well versed in LUA, I discovered that ChatGPT can write LUA scripts for Falcon. I haven't been able to experiment with it yet, but I do know that if you tell ChatGPT what you want, it will create a LUA script that can be copy and pasted into Falcon.

I have used it for parts of a script. When creating a generative script based on game of life, I used Chat GPT to provide a Lua script for that.

Sorry, I don't know. I have not done any 5.1 or 7.1 in Falcon.

Is there a way to do a LUA script that will create a new interface for patches we create ourselves? I can't see how that is done and I don't want to be stuck with the standard interface if I'm creating my own patches.

Use the makePerformanceView command. Check my tweaksynth script for an example.

Where do I find the "makePerformanceView" Command? Is that a window I open in Falcon? If so, I'm not seeing where that is. Thanks

I use Falcon but until this thread I didn't even know that LUA exists or who it is.

You put it in your Lua script like so:

-- Define your interface here --
setBackgroundColour("blue")
setSize(720, 380)
makePerformanceView()

Then the script will be visible in the "Info" tab.

It is described here: https://www.uvi.net/uviscript/group___u_i.html#ga35eabc71ccbc8d1eafc2097a303d6d10

Example use here:

Thank you!

Hello, I'm discovering Falcon 3 with Sonic pass subscription along with @oeholmen awesome scripts: what a pleasure to dive in this new ecosystem and hat off for these add-ons that work perfectly well.
This is also very cool because my main DAW is Reaper which also open its environment to LUA.

Now that Falcon 3 has midi out, does that mean we can theoretically use falcon3 as a general midi lua scripter plugin?

Where can I find the reference for the lua midi capabilities in Falcon3?
