Thanks a lot for yours answers

Side chaining on Triton?
Have you found anything useful on this yet? I just learned yesterday what the effect is called, and I have been watching videos on how it is done, I'm going to study the mechanics of it a little more and see if it can be done just with compressor and stereo gate.

There is no actual sidechaining functionality in the Triton - nor really in the newer M3.
Actual 'sidechain' technique involves taking a compressor or gate or limiter or anything else that involves envelope following, and using a different signal for the analysis part - basically compressing a synth pad (for example), but using the kick drum's signal levels to do it.
The best approach you can take is to send both sounds through the same effects chain - a hard limiter followed by a parametric EQ. Push the kick volume up really high so that it causes the pad to 'pump', but then effectively lower the kick volume again afterwards by cutting down the low frequencies around the kick drum using the EQ. This obviously assumes that the two sounds are fairly separated in the audio spectrum.

Thank you X.
I can get a decent pumping sound with the Stereo Tremolo effect, parameters as follows:
LFO Waveform: Vintage
LFO Shape: +100
LFO Phase: +0
LFO Frequency: N/A
BPM/MIDI Sync: On
BPM: MIDI
Base Note: quarter note
Times: x1
Depth: 60
It works most of the time, however, sometimes when I restart from the beginning the tremolo peaks on the count, instead of dropping. That will present problems during recording, because you might have to restart the recording several times before you get it to sound off correctly. It would definitely be a huge problem for live performance, because you wouldn't know before hand if it was going to work right either. Which makes me curious... does the Roland Fantom have side-chaining capabilities? I might have to get one of those...
