MACROS

Same as Falcon Factory Content, Atmospherics’ 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.
