Introduction

Take a sonic journey through celestial auras, evolving pads and rich, unfolding tonal soundscapes. Instantly fill your productions with mood, texture and atmosphere as you take your listeners through slowly rolling fog banks, dense futuristic landscapes and deeper into elevated states of consciousness. A diverse collection of expertly crafted presets provide a multitude of sound destinations, ready to be plugged in, layered or manipulated in near infinite ways within the powerful Falcon environment. Whether you’re looking to fill the void with ominous drones, add a delicate harmonic breeze or simply reinforce your tracks with subtle gravity, Atmospherics delivers rich sonic environments perfect for all modern musical styles.

The depth and sophistication of Falcon can be felt through this premium collection of patches. Employing numerous synthesis techniques including FM, analog modeling and granular, Atmospherics provides rich, dense and evolving multi-part sounds, animated soundscapes, tempo-synced instruments, brooding drones and experimental ambiences. Quickly preview and stack sounds, perform them with macro controls and make them your own with vast effect and modulation options available in Falcon.

Macros

Like Falcon Factory Content, Atmospherics’ patches have been programmed with macros which provide easy access to the key parameters of each patch. Macros may be controlled via MIDI, OSC, host automation and Lua scripting, allowing for easy customization and expressive performance.

For more details on macros, see Falcon’s software manual.

Program Information

Press the (i) button in the upper right to display program information. Many factory presets 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.

EDIT Page

If you want more control over a sound than the macros provide, the EDIT tab gives you full access to all parameters. Patches in Falcon are built within a fixed hierarchy: at the very top is the Program, inside the Program are Layers, within each Layer are Keygroups, and inside the Keygroups are Oscillators. Audio effects, MIDI effects and modulators can be placed on any level.

The mapping, oscillator and modulation editors are described in Falcon’s software manual: see Hierarchy and Edit.

Over 120 presets organized into six evocative categories — from animated tonal beds and motion pads to drones, soundscapes and experimental textures.
