Sidechain a LFO?

[octave]

cool idea. could be The next big thing

[DorianDay]

So I imagine this would probably equate to modulating the depth parameter, likely in time with the track. Some synths that would allow you to do this are massive and dcam synthsquad, and I'm pretty sure you could set this up with any of FabFilter plugins, synths and effects. Plus yea, whatever weird stuff you could do with max/msp.

I think what I'd probably do would be make a m4l patch or external VST that you could map midi parameters to (ie the knobs) and input your sidechain signal to. Use either the gain values or the frequency values of the signal to alter each midi parameter in a couple of different optioned ways. That way you could do it for pretty much any effect. Also maybe put a delay on the parameter change as well.

Envelope follower > LFO rate. Yeah, should be trivial.

Max4Live was made partially because lots of users had lots of really cool ideas and the Ableton development team did not have time to implement everything.

Should be pretty easy in Reason too.

Grab the SC signal form MClass Comp CV output / Scream 4 envelope follower / Pulveriser and let it control the amt, depth, whatever via Thor matrix / Combinator.
