Introduction

Explore the possibilities of FM synthesis from vintage digital to visionary hybrid tones. Made popular in the ’80s, FM synthesis continues to inspire artists and sound designers with it’s rich harmonic sounds and other-worldly timbres. Utilized within the modular architecture of Falcon, Digital Motion delivers a focused set of hyper-detailed and expressive FM patches offering vivid, evolving and highly-musical visions.

The sounds of Digital Motion are layered and massive, providing a range of possible tones within each patch. Mix and tweak 3 discrete layers of synthesis, a uniquely prepared “Morph” control providing instant movement and modulation, ADSR amplitude envelope, filter and sends for reverb and delay. Quickly find sounds within useful groupings including bells, pads, keys, organs, leads, basses, atmospheres and FX, then tweak them on the front panel to create variations, or dig deep and transform them into your own unique sonic expressions.

Made for Falcon

The Digital Motion expansion leverages the advanced synthesis architecture of Falcon, featuring intuitive macro controls for instant playability.

Control your sound with MIDI, OSC, host automation, and Lua, or transform it with Falcon’s extensive library of oscillators, effects, modulators, and scripts.

Falcon’s versatility and pristine sound quality is evident throughout this collection, utilizing numerous synthesis and sound design techniques and a robust use of effects and modulators. Sounds can all be quickly previewed, edited, layered or performed with nearly limitless variation thanks to Falcon’s semi-modular architecture and rich component library.

Program Information

Press the Script button above the panel to switch to Falcon’s macro view, then the (i) button in its 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.
