Particles Walkthru Video

This video rather than a music production video approach is focused to show step-by-step the features offered by particles to build variations to your patterns. It could be a manual reference too for the users who already have the module.
I hope this can help you to use the module at its maximum capabilities, the module is very straightforward once you understand how the features work, if you have any doubts, don´t hesitate to write us an email.
Thank you for watching :)

This is a huge improvement over the written manual. Thanks for making this. It gave me some great ideas. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@cauldronofbats]

Particles is correct. This module is a whole lot of fun.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

That's excellent - it's all becoming clear now :D

[@patchingpanda]

It has been a good exercise for me :)

[@turbotambourine]

This is a super cool module! I’d only seen bits of it in patches here and there but nowhere really explained it all that well. This is really great for that and it looks like it may be a module I’ll need to try. I’m trying to sort out a couple modules to build up a flexible beat sequencing kinda thing. Right now I use a the Bard Quartet for quantizing and love how flexible it makes patches and now I’m almost looking to integrate a similar workflow for rhythm. Originally I was thinking it would be particular sequencers and switches but this module makes me think another way is possible.

I´ve responded your email :)

Just got this module. Great potential but manual is not easy to understand. More vids please

[@patchingpanda]

Yes I’m preparing more videos, use every trig input and output and try to build patterns with different combinations, is very rewarding when experimenting.

[@alexspiterigingell915]

@@patchingpanda thankyou for your great work! Im still a bit confused on how Shift, Absorb, Bypass and Gater work. Would really appreciate if you could explain these in more detail. Otherwise Im really enjoying this module, it has great potential. My idea is to use it to generate drum rolls and other fills.

[@geusensdriesmusic]

Great demo, very helpful. Would it be possible with a fw update to add more possibilities to the repetition distributions? I’d also love some control over trigger length. Awesome module and a nice build.

[@patchingpanda]

Many thanks for your words! Yes it´s possible. I will need to figure it out how to integrate it thou, seems to be a popular request.

[@geusensdriesmusic]

@@patchingpanda great! Since it’s clocked, using odd repetitions and/or distribution could create even more rhythmic variations, especially when combined with absorb and probability. It makes sense to me: you can make different and more complex rhythmic cycles. The reset triggers for controlling random shift is really inspiring!

Mine arrives soon this helps quite a lot .. how does it work with cv/gate bass lines ?

[@patchingpanda]

Great. You mean like the minute 2:03?

[@user-vo3mc2ni9t]

Hi, mate! Big fan of your modules here :) i am looking forward to buy a particles but, now, sorry for the offtopic: what's the deal with that new "PUNCH"? when will it be available? what is it called (i am not sure i read correctly "MG")? can't find nothing about it online, yet. thanks!

[@patchingpanda]

Ooops, info will be available soon 😬 Thank you for your kind words!

[@nickjones5641]

I love the concept, but I need swing, microtiming(odd integers for distribution). Is this possible?

[@patchingpanda]

In the beginning, we had odd integers for distribution, but they have been removed because it was easy to get lost in nonmusical results where the users can be easily frustrated, it is possible to bring them back with no problem but will need to be an expert menu option or so, let me think how can be added.

[@turbotambourine]

@@patchingpandaI appreciate that design decision a lot. Right now I’m looking for a flexible, playable way to manipulate triggers on the fly without having to straight up step sequence. Good idea having odd integers available somehow though. In thinking about what kind of module I’d want, I’d almost want the ability to add or remove distributions or clock div/mults. It makes me think of the same way you use a quantizer.

[@patchingpanda]

The firmware is constantly evolving we just uploaded new update th-cam.com/video/bocL9Gv7ZKU/w-d-xo.html@@turbotambourine
