In this video I share how I do sidechain ducking on the Digitakt MK1 and most Elektron machines. This is a simple and incredibly powerful rhythm and sound shaping tool essential for multiple genres. This video is meant to teach you an alternative to using the Master Compressor on the Digitakt for side-chain ducking, in this example we will be exploring the LFO and working on a per-step basis.
