-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.

-A '''Digital Signal Processor''' (DSP) is a chip designed to process digital signals (such as video or voice data) in realtime. DSP's use highly parallel SIMD ('''S'''ingle '''i'''nstruction '''m'''ultiple '''d'''ata) instruction sets, and use [[fixed-point]] arithmatic (as opposed to [[floating point]]). As such, they are suited to certain, specialised applications.

-The [[Falcon 030]] was only computer manufactured by [[Atari]] to be equipped with a DSP, the [[Motorola]] [[56001]], which made it a highly capable machine for the recording music (with the ability to add effects and filters in real-time). 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 [[68030]] CPU may ordinarily not have been able to do on its own. Examples of such tasks include the realtime playback of MP3's (a feat not achievable by contemporary machines of similar processing power to the Falcon, such as the [[Amiga]] 1200 and [[Apple]] Mac LC\30), fast decompression of JPEG images, and the production of realtime visual effects in demos and graphics software.
