                                            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    1
                                            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. 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.

                                            Keygroups are the ground level of your patch, they can
                                        3   hold any number of oscillators and define which MIDI notes

                                            basic oscillator attributes like pitch and trigger modes. Like

                                            have fantastic effects, but comes at an additional CPU cost so
                                            consider how you use it carefully.

                          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.

                              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
