Side Chains
Each of the tracks may be independently Side Chained. Side Chain allows the hits of one track to duck the
audio level of another track. Using Side Chains, you can add a pumping feel to your beats - this is a staple
sound of hip-hop and EDM. Try Side Chaining your bassline or main chord sequence with your kick.
Seven Side Chain presets are available, each allowing the selected Side Chain trigger source to duck
the track with increasing intensity from the leftmost preset to the rightmost preset. The default state is
for Side Chain to be OFF for all tracks.
Side Chain View is the secondary view of the FX button
12
. Open by holding Shift and pressing FX,
or press FX a second time if already in
FX View to toggle the View.
