Combining Modes
In its default configuration, the MODE knob will assign the DELAY/PITCH and PARAM knobs to specific
functions and reset the previous mode's parameters. For example, switching from
DELAY+DENS to DE-
LAY+LFO will set the grain density so that they perfectly overlap.
You can combine modes in several different ways:
• In the pitch modes, use tap tempo to set a delay time.
• Use MIDI to set parameter values. All of the Particle's parameters are available via MIDI.
• Assign the expression pedal to the
DELAY/PITCH or PARAM knob in a different mode (see "Control
input (expression pedal)" on page 15).
• Use the "modeless" configuration setting to change the behavior of the MODE knob (see next section).
Modeless Configuration Setting
The mode switch reassigns the DELAY/PITCH and PARAM controls without clearing the audio buffer.
When switching modes, the PARAM assignment from the previous mode is reset by default. Using MIDI
controller 119 (or our web editor), you can change the behavior of the Mode switch so that the previous
changes are retained. The setting is saved in presets, and also remembered when power is turned off.
When CC 119 is turned on, the MODE switch simply assigns the knobs to different parameters. This is
very flexible, but can also be confusing because the hidden parameter settings make it hard to find your
way back after making changes. You can always press the
PRESET button to load the next preset, and
when the preset LEDs are off it will reset everything to the current knob settings.
We recommend leaving CC 119 off in normal use, and setting up one or more presets that allow you to
combine modes. The preset gives you a predictable starting point for manipulating the sound live.
