Using the Side-Chain Input

For certain Plug-ins, MASCHINE allows you to use a side-chain input to control how the effects
process the audio.
What Is a Side-Chain Input?
If we consider an effect unit that processes the signal incoming at its main input, side-chaining
means using a secondary signal (the <side-chain signal=) fed to a secondary input of the unit
(the <side-chain input=) to control the behavior of the processing. Usually the amplitude of the
side-chain signal will determine how much the main signal will be processed by the unit.
