In this short tutorial I show you one way to make the sidechain pumping effect on the Elektron Octatrack! Using trigless trigs the and the LFO set to an inverted exponential wave, you can create a ducking effect on the sequence steps of your choice. Setting the LFO to ONE means that the LFO will only cycle ONE time. Effectively turning the inverted exponential wave into a very functional envelope! Yay! Watch the video, it's so easy!

Hey Matt, on a daily spree of commenting on old posts right now, sorry if thats weird. Using the ST's FX amp envelope as a sidechain got me thinking... we have Amp and Filter envelopes available on OT (although no amp envelope on NEI tracks grrrrr). So why set up an LFO for sidechain when we could use either of those envelopes to achieve the same outcome? Using the LFO in ONE mode is just turning it into an envelope right? Is there a drawback I've missed here?

In my newest template the sidechain is on the amp envelope, only because I have the OT as the master clock. Personally I do a most of my side chain in the Syntakt.

Awesome! Thanks for this EZ! Great stuff per usual and was always super curious the best way to do this.

I personally think this is the best way, someone might argue using the volume. Just doesn't sound right vs filter.
