Sidechain Link Setup:
Document generated: 18.04.17
Click on the Sidechain Link Setup button to bring up the Sidechain Link
editor screen, which allows selecting available links and adding/removing
of channels to/from the links.
Vista is able to link more than only two side chains – in fact, up to eight – per
Sidechain Link. For these reasons, a number of Sidechain Links (each for up
to eight member channels) may be defined by the currently loaded configu-
ration. Basically, there can be any number of configured Side chain Links.
A channel can be a member of only one Link at a time.
To set up the Sidechain Links:
• Select a Sidechain Link using the on-screen icon;
• If there are any members in the Link, they will now be displayed;
• Add new member channels with the Add button;
• Remove members by selecting one or more of them in the list and pressing
the DEL key on the keyboard;
• Proceed to edit the next Link number.
 Tip
If a channel is a member of a Sidechain Link, the graphical representation of
its dynamics block in the Channel Patch will change from this
to this:
