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.
