Advanced Configuration
The Particle uses MIDI System Exclusive messages to access configuration settings. See "MIDI System
Exclusive Messages" on page 28 for a complete list of properties. We provide a web-based editor
(requires Chrome) and a Touch OSC template (for iOS and Android) to make it easier to access these
settings.
Setting maximum input level
The Particle can handle signals up to +5.2 dBu (4 Vpp) in its default setting. The maximum input level
is adjustable using MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages, or via the TouchOSC template we provide.
The Tensor adjusts the input and output levels to maintain a consistent signal level.
If you are using a synthesizer or mixing console and the Particle is clipping, you can increase the maxi-
mum input level.
If you are using a quiet instrument, such as single coil guitar pickups or a consumer cassette deck, you
can set the Tensor to a +0.5 dBu maximum input level, which may give a slight improvement in signal-to-
noise ratio.
Setting MIDI channel
The Particle transmits and receives on MIDI channel 1 by default. The MIDI channel can be changed
using MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages, or via the TouchOSC template we provide. It is remem-
bered when power is off.
Reset to Factory Defaults
Use the following procedure to reset the Particle’s configuration data to factory default settings. This
will erase any advanced configuration and control port settings, but presets will not be affected.
1. With the pedal unplugged, set the mode switch to the
PITCH+DENS position.
2. Hold the ON footswitch while plugging in power. The right LED will be solid white.
3. Rotate the mode switch to the
DELAY+DENS position.
4. When the factory reset is complete, the Particle will cycle through its LEDs.
5. Power cycle the pedal to continue.
