Installation Guide

FM EXPLORATIONS

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
oering 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 capabilities and software
architecture of Falcon, which sports 15 oscillators, over 80 eects and a fast and intuitive
interface that adeptly handles both basic tasks and deep instrument design. All presets
have been programmed with macros which provide the user 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.

Take your experience to the next level with this expertly-crafted Falcon expansion pack.

(Falcon license required. Not compatible with UVI Workstation.)

INTERFACE

INTERFACE » MAIN » INFO

INFO

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.

MACROS

Same as Falcon Factory Content, Digital Motion’s

1

patches have been programed with macros which
provide users with easy access to the ‘key’ parameters
of each patch. Digital Motion also has a custom front
panel which is made with Falcon’s script feature. The
parameters are connected with the macros and 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
Script button above the pannel to hide script pannel,
then 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.

Note: Script edting of the Digtial
Motion’s default pannel is not
allowed.

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

2

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.

INTERFACE » MAIN » 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.

EDIT

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.

PROGRAM EDITOR

The top-most level of your patch, use the Program editor to

1

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

2

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.

KE YGROUP EDITOR

Keygroups are the ground level of your patch, they can

3

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.

INTERFACE » MAIN » EDIT

EDIT

MAPPING EDITOR

The mapping editor allows you to define the note and velocity

4

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

5

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

6

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.
