Presets
The Particle stores 127 presets. Presets 1-4 are accessible from the front panel, and all are accessible
via MIDI program change messages. MIDI program 128 resets the parameters to the current knob set-
tings. (Note that some controllers label MIDI programs 0-127 and some use 1-128.)
If preset 1-4 is selected, the Particle will remember the current preset when power is turned o and
restore it. That allows it to be gig-ready, without worrying if the knobs have been moved.
Changing the Current Preset
• Press the preset button to cycle through presets 1-4 and the live knob settings.
• Send a MIDI program change message.
Saving a Preset
To save preset 1-4, press the preset button to select the desired preset, then hold the preset button for 2
seconds to store the current settings in that preset location. Note that when you select the preset loca-
tion, the sound will change to that preset. After holding the button 2 seconds, the current knob settings
will be saved.
To save any preset (1-127) via MIDI, send a MIDI program change message while holding down the PRE-
SET button (do this without preset 1-4 selected, to avoid accidentally overwriting). You can also save a
preset using a MIDI System Exclusive message (See "System Exclusive (SysEx)" on page 32).
