(like a mirror image used to trigger teh compressor)
i usually have my sidechain kick play all the time, so that when the actual kick drops out during a breakdown my noise gate doesn't close on me and take the other sounds with it.
what pattern do you use though to trigger it..a simple 1 2 3 4 pattern so its always just going on beat..or do you copy the same pattern of the one that you are compressing or gateing for the trigger and use that as your trigger pattern..

because say your doing a breakbeat style kick or sutitn that is off teh normal 1234..i would think you would want the same pattern to compress or gate otherwise it would be off..
