Kick Ducker

This allows the tuba to duck out of the way of the kick drum.

For this to work, SousaPlayback’s drum bus’s external output must be routed to SousaFX’s “drum tracks L/R” inputs.

• enable sidechain kick with looper intelligence

  Available in the bindings as toggle sidechained kick.

  The ducker affects the loopers, delays & reverb, and main input separately. When this parameter is enabled, all three duckers are enabled, except for the main input’s when the looper status is “looping” or “fading out”.

  looper status - activated duckers:

  1. Idle - looper, delays & reverb, main input

  2. Prepared - looper, delays & reverb, main input

  3. Recording - looper, delays & reverb, main input

  4. Looping - looper, delays & reverb

  5. Fading Out - looper, delays & reverb

• function

  Click and drag the points to change the volume envelope shape. clicks create points. shift-click deletes points. option-click-drag curves lines.

• cutoff freq

  Sets the sidechain signal’s lowpass filter’s cutoff frequency.

• resonance

  Sets the sidechain signal’s lowpass filter’s resonance.

• slide down

  Sets the sidechain signal’s envelope’s fall time.

• sliders

  The left slider sets the point at which the rising envelope will trigger the duck. The duck cannot be triggered again until the falling envelope passes the right slider.

• disable sidechain kick when drum clip stutter enabled

  I must not’ve liked how the drum clip stutter sounded with the ducker enabled.
