Re: Falcon UVI vs NI Komplete
Being a now ex-member of the Motunation forum when I was there I read a lot of stuff about Falcon. Upshot is it isn't all that much more efficient at spreading the workload amongst cpu cores than Kontakt. The reason Falcon got/gets a lot of notice over there is that MOTU Mach Five is written by UVI and is essentially the same code with a different gui. And that MOTU has made Mach Five abandonware some of those who used it have moved over to Falcon because it can read the Mach Five expansions.
So Falcon in one form or another has been around for quite some time.
Falcon's one issue is that there's precious little third party support like Kontakt has so if that's important I suggest taking that into account. If you like to create instruments then Falcon is your program. Also keep in mind that Falcon doesn't have a demo version; I'm speaking the Falcon that you can buy from UVI. That's significant because of the expense of the program which is $349 US versus $399 for Kontakt 6.
