how to "pulse" a pad according with drums

Post by mascob »

Hello every Kross addict...
As usual, I ask some help to the community.
I load some very nice combis from "JayB", an excellent sound designer and composer (http://www.jaybmusic.net/sounds.php)( don't forget to support his work!) and some of those combis makes something very interesting: when you play it without rythm, the pads sound linear and "normal", but when you engage the drums, the pads start to "pulse" in sync with the beat...I analyse the combi, look at the effects, but I don't found the "trick" to do it...
So if you have some idea to obtain this result...Thanks in advance!

It's called Sidechaining. Usually, this is achieved by setting up something like the routing of the drum audio to an FX control bus (the Kross has two stereo FX Control Busses), and using this to modulate a Stereo Limiter effect, or a Stereo Gate effect, or a Vocoder effect. Based on the demo track on the website linked to above, most of the drum-induced sound level variation in the early part of the track is probably produced using a limiter effect. Sidechaining is apparent starting at 4:16 into the demo track.
