Overview
| Name | Version: | SMOOTHEE SIDECHAIN by grzebien 1.2 |
| Author: | grzebien |
| Device Type: | Audio Effect |
| Description: | External Audio Routing for Ableton Audio Effect Racks Function: A fast and precise audio injection module. It bypasses standard Ableton mixer limitations, allowing you to feed any signal from your project directly into your Rack. Key Features: * Total Control: Select any tap point (Pre FX, Post FX, Post Mixer) for every track in Ableton. * Hardware Ready: Supports external devices sidechaining, enabling you to route signals from analog hardware directly into your Rack chain. * Zero Latency: The device introduces no signal delay. * Ultra Lightweight: Extremely low CPU usage. * Visual Control: Built-in display (operating signal timeline) for real-time monitoring of the processed audio. Two Operating Modes: 1. NORMAL (Bypass): Transparent flow. Audio passes through without changes to the next effects in the chain. 2. SIDECHAIN (Injection): Replaces the original audio with the signal selected from the menu. Usage Instructions: Place the device anywhere in the Chain: 1. Use Mode Normal for standard signal flow. 2. Use Mode Sidechain to replace audio with an external signal – perfect for triggering compressors or gating effects via another track or external hardware. This device was created for the needs of SMOOTHEE by grzebien_ and is included in the set. https://grzebien.gumroad.com/l/ejggde Maybe someone will find it useful. |

I think it's Catalina 10.15 that's causing that gate

Hey @grzebien !
Thanks for this audio router, it’s sick. The oscilloscope is actually super useful, especially when I’m stacking a bunch of them in a rack to route ghost signals.
I wanted to ask if you could add a gain knob inside the device. That would let me get rid of Cycling '74’s Audio Sender completely and just use your router for everything instead. :D
Really appreciate the work either way, thank you !

Ok...so I'm finally gettin into this.
I've been screwing with the whole no input mixer thing, creating feedback to process in Ableton
This device, feeding on to itself in one track with a vinyl noise stimulus/white noise input is absolutely the best feedback option, I've found yet.
Anyone into this, try it. I can't believe how much better the feedback sounds. I've tried this so many ways and this is the thing. I will definitely suggest this to others.
Nice work Grezbien

@grzebien legend mate, thank you so much!

@grzebien one thing I’ve noticed, though: when routing multiple sidechain signals from a track into a compressor, it seems to detect only the last audio input instance. I suppose it would need some a "thru mode" to allow all audio instances to pass through properly. Cheers!
