To save a preset, send a MIDI program change message while holding down the PRESET / [SAVE] button.  To avoid overwriting one of your presets accidentally, start with the preset 1-4 LEDs off.


For MIDI controllers with up/down or next program buttons, switch to the program you want to save while holding down the PRESET / [SAVE] button.


MIDI program numbers are 0-127, but some controllers label them as 1-128.  Presets 1-4 on the Particle front panel are MIDI program numbers 0-3.


Example: To save preset 3,

  1. On the MIDI controller, advance to program 2.
  2. Press the Particle's PRESET button until all of the preset LEDs are off (live knob setting).
  3. Dial in the desired sound.
  4. Press and hold the PRESET / [SAVE] button.
  5. On the MIDI controller, advance to program 3.
  6. The Particle LED will blink green to indicate that the preset was saved.
  7. Release the PRESET / [SAVE] button.
