Audio Reacting Particle Wave – Trapcode Particular + Sound Keys
I want to make a sea of particles with waves that flow away from the camera to the beat of a song. I have my sea set up with Particular, and I have my beat keyframed with Sound Keys. But I’m having a hard time figuring out my next step. Any ideas?

You can make your emitter move to the beat of the song and have wind moving the particles along or you can have the turbulence field strength match the beat of the song.

The first suggestions is almost what I want, except then the particles themselves are moving. I want the particles to remain stationary, but have the wave energy move through them. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I’m not sure that’s actually possible in Particular the more I look around!

In that case, you would want to move the Turbulence field and not have the particles have any motion at all.
Actually, if you don’t want the particles to move, you should probably be using Form instead of Particular.

Someone on reddit told me the same thing. I’ll see if I can make form do it.
