Parameters 8
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| DECAY | knob | — | Sets the length of the particle burst; works with the TAIL switch to shape bursts from dense crescendos to loose, trailing applause. In INF mode, directly controls the parameter the decay envelope would have governed.1089 |
| FREQ | knob | — | Controls the spectral center and/or pitch of the particle burst depending on the PUNCH switch setting; in some modes it sets filter center frequency, in others it also shifts particle pitch.1089 |
| INF | button | — | Disables the decay envelope so particles run continuously; DECAY knob then directly sets the parameter the envelope would have controlled. Triggering or pressing gives the impression of a burst within the infinite cloud.1089 |
| PUNCH | switch | 1 – 3 | Three-position switch selecting filter and pitch routing: mode 1 uses a series bandpass filter controlled by FREQ; mode 2 adds pitch control to FREQ; mode 3 uses a parallel bandpass while also modulating pitch.1089 |
| REVERB | knob | — | Adds built-in Room or Hall reverb to the particle output; modulating after triggering creates late reverb tails.1089 |
| SPREAD | knob | — | Controls the pitch and panning variance of particles; higher values spread particles further from the center in both pitch and pan.1089 |
| SURFACE | knob | ≤23 | Selects among 23 particle surface types including drum sticks, ping pong balls, toggle switches, claps, snaps, and other transient microsamples, covering a broad sonic range.1089 |
| TAIL | switch | 1 – 3 | Routes the decay envelope to different engine parameters across three modes: amplitude-only, amplitude plus particle probability, or particle probability only.1089 |
