Create your own particle effects
The Particles panel lets you build custom note effects — sparks, smoke, auras — with physics, colors and textures. Every note you play can look exactly the way you imagine.
Open the Effect Library
In the Stage panel, open Particles for the performer you want to customize. The library separates built-in Official effects from My Effects.
Create or duplicate
Create a new effect or duplicate an Official effect as a starting point. Your editable creation appears in My Effects.
Name and organize it
Give the effect a clear name. Duplicate, copy or paste settings when you want variants without rebuilding the recipe.
Shape it
Tweak Core (amount, size, speed) and Motion. In the physics controls, turn on Gravity and Collide Ground to make sparks fall and bounce on the keyboard.
Color it
Turn on 'Use Own Color' for a fixed color, or leave it off so particles follow your note colors. Life Color tints particles from birth to death.
Test it
Click Test to fire notes in a loop and see the effect live. Click again to stop.
