These parameters enable extra channels to be assigned to
the respective Sidechain Input. The extra Sidechain Input
channels will not be processed by the sidechain.
The Sum settings will add the Input to the sidechain,
whereas the Max settings only will contribute to the
sidechain if the level exceeds the other Input channel
levels.

Side Chain Control
(thisdescriptionisidenticaltotheMD5.1explanation)
TheSidechainassignmentpossibilitiesintheMDX5.1are
very comprehensive. Carefully selecting which channels
shouldbecontrolledbywhichSidechains,isjustas
essential as dialing in the correct Threshold and Ratio
values.
It is possible to freely select any or none of three
Sidechains to control each of the main-channels. This also
gives you the option of grouping the channels. In addition
tothis,theLFEchannelhasitsownSidechaincontrol.
Thisenablese.g.settinguptwoMDX5.1algorithmsin
serial setup, while having six individual Sidechains available,
enabling fully individual Sidechain controls of all channels.

Basic operation
At the Control page it is possible to decide which
Sidechains should control which channels. Select any
of three Sidechains to be assigned to any of the five
Main-channels. You can also chose to pass the channels
unprocessedthroughthealgorithm.TheLFEchannel
can be assigned to its own separate Sidechain, or left
unprocessed.
Setting a channel to unprocessed will preserve the
processingdelaythroughthealgorithm,keepingthe
channel time-aligned to the other (processed)
channels.
