Side Chains
Each of the synth tracks and external audio inputs (represented by the MIDI tracks) can be Side Chained.
Side Chains work in the same manner as in common dynamics processors such as compressors, and can
be used to alter the “envelope” of synth notes in time with any of the drum tracks.
Side Chain allows the hits of the selected drum track to duck the audio level of the synths. Using synth
sounds with long sustain or long Gate times, you can make a drum sample “pump” the synth sounds
to produce some interesting and unusual effects.
Seven Side Chain presets are available, each allowing the selected drum track to modify the sound of
the synth tracks (or signals at the external audio inputs) in subtly different ways. The default state is for
Side Chain to be OFF on both synths and both MIDI 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.
