	The [[Atari Falcon]] was the only [[Atari]] computer that was equipped with a digital signal processor, the [[Motorola]] [[56001]]. This made it a highly capable machine especially for the recording of music considering the ability to add realtime effects and filters. Innovative programming techniques also put the 56001 to work as a general coprocessor, performing certain tasks in parallel to the CPU to achieve tasks the [[CPU\|68030]] CPU may ordinarily not have been able to do on its own.
