Sidechain compression plays an important part in a lot of electronic music. In this video I explain what sidechain compression is, and how to patch crude side chain compression with a VCA. But I also go over the functions and features of the Knobula Kickain. A creative module that produces a powerful kick, and applies side chain compression to an incoming signal. This offers some powerful options.
