1.

Use the pad to which the backing track is assigned as an input for the side chain compressor.

Configure the side chain compressor input in “Output (PAD)” of the effect or output destination settings (OUTPUT/EFFECTS).

Effect and Output Destination Settings (OUTPUT/EFFECTS)

(P.47)

2.

Set the pad to which the kick drum is assigned as the control signal for the side chain compressor.

Configure the side chain compressor control signal in “Side Chain Ctrl” of the effect or output destination settings
(OUTPUT/EFFECTS).

Parameter

Explanation

Output of side

chain

MASTER+PHONES, PHONES-

ONLY

Selects the SIDE CHAIN COMP output destination.

Threshold

-48–0 dB

Adjusts the volume level at which compression begins for the side chain

compressor.

Gain

-12.0–+12.0 dB

Adjusts the output level of the side chain compressor.

Attack

0.1–100 ms

Adjusts the time before compression begins for the side chain compressor.

Release

10–1000 ms

Adjusts the time before the compression effect is released for the side chain
compressor.

Ratio

1:1–INF:1

Adjusts the compression ratio of the side chain compressor.

Knee

HARD, SOFT1–3

Adjusts the attack of the compression effect for the side chain compressor.

CONTROL PRE GATE

Adds a gate effect to the signal that controls the side chain compressor.

For example, when you assign a kick with a long release time to the control signal, side chain compressor reduction may be

applied for longer than intended.

In this case, you can use CTRL PRE GATE to apply a gate to the control signal, which lets you adjust the control signal side (CTRL
PRE GATE) so that the compressor works as intended.

Parameter

Value

Explanation

Threshold

-63.5–0.0 dB

Level at which the gate of the side chain control signal begins to close

Mode

GATE, DUCK

Adjusts the gate type used for the side chain control signal.

GATE: When the volume of the dry sound is lowered, the gate closes and the dry sound is cut off.

DUCK: When the volume of the dry sound is raised, the gate closes and the dry sound is cut off.

Attack

0–127

Adjusts how much time it takes for the side chain control signal gate to open fully after it begins

opening.

Hold

0–127

Adjusts how much time it takes before the gate begins closing, starting from when the dry sound

of the side chain control signal falls below the threshold level.

Release

0–127

Adjusts how much time it takes for the side chain control signal gate to close fully after the hold
time elapses and the gate begins closing.

Balance

D100:0W–

D0:100W

Adjusts the volume balance between the dry sound (D) and the gated sound (W) of the side chain

control signal.

Level

0–127

Adjusts the output level used for the side chain control signal.

Output Gain -12–+12 dB

Adjusts the output level used for the side chain control signal.

Button
