In music production the side-chain signal is most of the time another audio track of the
project. A common example is the use of the kick drum track as side-chain for the compres-
sion of the bass track: on each kick the compressor will compress the bass more, resulting in a
typical pumping effect between kick and bass that can be heard in various styles of dance mu-
sic.
The Side-Chain Parameter Page
The following Internal, Native Instruments, and External Plug-ins support side-chaining:
▪ Internal Plug-ins: Compressor, Maximizer, Limiter, Gate, Filter.
▪ AU plug-ins (Native Instruments and External): Any AU plug-in with side-chain input.
▪ VST plug-ins (Native Instruments and External): Any VST plug-in with multiple inputs.
When you load any of these Plug-ins in a Sound or a Group, a Side-Chain Input Parameter
page appears at the end of the page list.
Side-chaining is not possible at the Master level (i.e. if the Plug-in is loaded in a Plug-in slot of the
Master).
The Side-Chain Input page of the Compressor Plug-in in the Control area.
Please refer to section ↑3.3.5, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the
Control Area to know how to access Parameter pages.
The parameters of the side-chain input are not available in the Plug-in panel of the Plug-in Strip.
