I'm using a Helix floor as a bassist in my band. We are playing in-ear and we have a clicktrack that is working in Logic on a laptop.
Now we want to play dancemusic with that pumping sidechain effect that is used in many dance songs.
Now i saw this video:

This guy is making this pumping sound with a Helix floor but as the sidechain he uses a pulse that is in the Helix itself. Not very usefull in a live situation because the pumping of the sidechain compression has to lock in place with the base drum.
So could this effect be archieved on the Helix floor using an external sidechain pulse? As we work with a clicktrack in logic it could be possible to make an audiotrack with a kick on every beat and feed that into the helix. But it could also be an miditrack that sends a pulse each beat.
This would be a great feature because that way you can recreate that pumping sound live that is normally only heard in produced dance songs.
Thanks for thinking along.
