Tap Tempo
Tap the left footswitch at quarter note intervals to activate tap tempo. The LED will blink yellow to indi-
cate the current tempo. To cancel tap tempo, quickly double tap the left (TAP) footswitch. Turning a knob
will cancel tap tempo for that parameter, but other parameters with note divisions set are not aected.
You can set independent note divisions for chop (grain length), delay time, density, and LFO rate. The tap
divisions are stored in presets, and remembered when power is removed. More note divisions are avail-
able via MIDI. To disable tap tempo and MIDI clock sync for a preset, set all note divisions to o.
Out of the box, the delay time is set for quarter notes and tap divisions are o for other parameters.
To view or change tap divisions:
1. Start with the Particle enabled (blue light on)
2. Hold the ON [div] footswitch until the LED changes to yellow (approximately 2 seconds)
3. While holding the ON [div] footswitch, adjust the controls as described below
4. Release the ON [div] footswitch to store the settings
While in tap division mode, the PRESET LEDs blink based on the current tap division (o for none). The
Bypass LED blinks red at quarter notes.
