@Lindon posted this a bit back: https://falcontinuum.com/ (in this thread https://vi-control.net/community/threads/lua-resources-for-uvi-falcon-scripting.93509/) Maybe he can chime in with more specific resources regarding LUA and Falcon—specifically.@Piano Pete I have done quite a lot of patching in Falcon and recently downloaded IRCAM’s Modalys (with the intention to use the MAX for Live version). Both use LUA Scripting. Do you happen to know some sources / books / websites / courses about LUA, particularly geared towards use in the context of Falcon or Modalys? I do have a very basic knowledge of scripting in general, but I have never really been able to “start” my journey with LUA for Falcon, due to a lack of sources really. No idea how to go about such an endeavour
And of course, there is a brief tutorial on uvi script: https://www.uvi.net/uviscript/_tutorial.html
Regarding a specific course like what @d.healey did for Kontakt and HISE, I'm not sure if there is one.
There is an ask.video course. I just found it with a quick google, so I cannot vouch for it. https://ask.video/video/uvi-falcon-the-video-manual/16-16-scripting
But, I kind of just dove in and worked messed with it. I have LUA scripting experience from working on addons and stuff for use with Finale and Sibelius. Derek Banas has some great coding tutorials where he covers syntax etc. I found these nice primers to learn other languages' syntax, and I felt they were also presented in such a way that you can watch them without a lot of prior experience. Udemy also has some decent coding courses floating around—especially if you are just getting started. The nice thing with LUA, is it doesnt have too many gross idiosyncrasies like some of the other languages.
