MODULATORS Falcon includes 9 modulation generators including AHD, Analog ADSR, Attack Decay, DAHDSR, Drunk, LFO, Multi Envelope and Step Envelope. Modulation generators can be instanced at any level in a patch allowing them to control nearly any parameter, be it on an oscillator, effect or even on another modulator. This system allows you to paint motion into your sounds almost effortlessly, from subtle variation over time to complex on-demand sequences. Every modulation generator in Falcon can store presets, providing a quick way to save and reuse configurations that you find useful. Falcon ships with over a thousand preset wave shapes for the Multi Envelope generator alone.

MODULATION GENERATORS AHD [Attack, Hold, Decay] envelope, a simpler variant of the DAHDSR envelope found on some classic synthesizers. ANALOG ADSR [Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release] envelope, emulates the decay characteristics of vintage hardware synthesizers and provides handy remapping tools to modulate attack with incoming note velocity or decay with note pitch. ATTACK DECAY [Attack, Decay] envelope, the most basic envelope in Falcon, useful for percussion and other sounds that don't require a sustain or release phase. DAHDSR [Delay, Attack, Hold, Delay, Sustain, Release] envelope, an extension of the more common ADSR envelope, adds an additional Delay phase at the beginning and a Hold phase between Attack and Decay. DRUNK Generates a random walk signal which simulates the natural randomness of pitch and amplitude drift found in sustained notes. LFO [Low Frequency Oscillator] generates a cyclical modulation in one of the following waveshapes: sine, square, triangle, ramp up, ramp down, analog square, random s&h, chaos lorenz, chaos rossier. You can also draw your own custom wave shapes for precise control. MULTI ENVELOPE A user-definable envelope that can be created with any number of points and interactive curve shapes by manually drawing or drag’n-dropping MIDI or audio files. Allows for long and highly-expressive modulation sequences and can be looped for LFO-like behavior. PARAMETRIC LFO [Low Frequency Oscillator] generates a cyclical modulation using parametric control such as Shape, Symmetry, Pulse Width and Swing for a totally unique waveform that can evolve in real time. STEP ENVELOPE A programmable pattern sequencer, can be tempo-synced to steps of musical division or set to discrete time values.

EVENTS Falcon's Event section provides control over pre-synthesis data, namely the manipulation, analysis or generation of MIDI. Event processors can do anything from arpeggiating incoming notes or strumming them like a guitar to applying micro tunings, playing back MIDI files or creating generative sequences. Script Processors are custom Events which allow the user to create MIDI processor modules with the Lua language.
