Using an External Key Input for Side-
Chain Processing
To use a filtered or unfiltered external key input to
trigger dynamics processing:
1 Click the Key Input selector and select the in-
put or bus carrying the audio from the reference
track or external audio source.
2 Click External Key to activate external side-
chain processing.
3 To listen to the signal that will be used to con-
trol side-chain input, click Side-Chain Listen to
enable it (highlighted).
4 To filter the key input so that only specific fre-
quencies trigger the plug-in, use the HF and LF
controls to select the desired frequency range.
5 Begin playback. The plug-in uses the input or
bus that you chose as an external key input to
trigger its effect.
6 Adjust the plug-in’s Threshold control to fine-
tune external key input triggering.
7 Adjust other controls to achieve the desired ef-
fect.
Using a Filtered Input Signal for Side-
Chain Processing
To use the filtered input signal to trigger dynamics
processing:
1 Ensure the Key Input selector is set to No Key
Input.
2 Ensure that the External Key button is dis-
abled (dark gray).
3 To listen to the signal that will be used to con-
trol side-chain input, click Side-Chain Listen to
enable it (highlighted).
4 To filter the side-chain input so that only spe-
cific frequencies within the input signal trigger
the plug-in, use the HF and LF controls to select
the desired frequency range.
5 Begin playback. The plug-in uses the filtered
input signal to trigger dynamics processing.
6 To fine-tune side-chain triggering, adjust the
plug-in controls.
