"Sidechain" Patterns?

I use the slicer to create a sidechain effect pretty regularly, but I’ve been limited to a 4 on the floor pattern because I’m not sure how to activate the slicer irregularly.

This is what I add to most of my loops that I want to have this ducking effect:

with_fx :slicer, invert_wave: 1, phase: 1, mix: 0.8, wave: 0, smooth: 0.1 do

Was wondering if anyone knew how to make phase work in a pattern?!?!

Hi there,

You might want to play around with the probability: and seed: opts for the :slicer FX

with_fx :slicer, invert_wave: 1, phase: 1, mix: 0.8, wave: 0, smooth: 0.1, probability: 0.7, seed: 3000 do

From the docs:

Probability (as a value between 0 and 1) that a given slice will be replaced by the value of the prob_pos opt (which defaults to 0, i.e. silence)

Seed value for rand num generator used for probability test

Let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions :slight_smile:
