Download the firmware file above and save it to your computer.
Power off Particles and remove the SD card from the module.
Insert the SD card into your computer and delete all the files currently on it.
Copy the new firmware file onto the freshly-erased SD card.
Put the SD card back into Particles.
Hold down the Gate button, then power the module back on — keep holding it until the update finishes.
Particles only enters update mode if the Gate button is already held down when it powers on, so press and hold it before flipping your rack’s power switch.
Module 03 — Particles
Particles
A 4-channel trigger sequencer built for pattern generation, not just pattern storage. Feed it clock and triggers, and it distributes, shifts, mutes, and re-triggers them into evolving rhythms you didn’t have to program by hand.
Particles takes four channels of trigger and gate information and treats them as raw material rather than a fixed pattern — repeating triggers across a distribution window, shifting them manually, randomly, or on the clock, and resetting each channel independently so four simple inputs can turn into a pattern that keeps changing.
Per-channel controls let probability decide whether a repetition or an entire trigger disappears, clock-division muting pulls channels in and out on the beat, and a dedicated random output can be clocked for CV modulation on the side. Every slider position is remembered, so a pattern you land on by chance is one you can get back to.
What it does
Four channels, endless patterns.
01
4-channel trigger engine
Four independent trigger/gate channels, each with its own distribution-time repeats, shift mode, and reset input — one clock in, four evolving voices out.
02
Manual, random, or clocked shift
Move each channel’s pattern by hand, let it drift randomly, or lock the shift to an external clock — four ways to keep the same four inputs from repeating themselves.
03
Probability & muting per channel
Slider-set probability decides whether a repetition — or the trigger itself — fires, while clock-division and manual muting pull channels in and out without touching the pattern underneath.
