Side-Chain Routing
S3L supports sidechain (key) processing for plug-ins that support
side-chain triggering.
The Side-Chain selectors appear across the top of the plug-ins
screen. You must be in Config mode to establish or remove a
side-chain assignment. Once established, side-chain routing can
be changed (but not added or removed) in Show mode.
To assign side-chain routing to a plug-in:
1 Select a plug-in that supports side-chain processing.
2 Put the system into Config mode to display the Side-chain
tools.
3 Choose the side-chain source signal from the Key Source
pop-up menu.
4 Choose the pickoff point (tap) for the side-chain signal from
the
Source Pickoff pop-up menu.
