VST Compressor with build-in side-chain
Creating a side-chaining effect in most VST sequencers can be quite a hassle or is not even possible. The purpose of SideKick4 is to make this process possible and a lot easier. You will be able to make a stereo side-chaining setup just by loading two instances of the VST plugin on 2 stereo tracks in your VST host, and linking them together by selecting one of the thirty-two build-in virtual buses.
SideKick4 is created in C++ using the VST 2.4 & VSTGUI 3.0 library.
32 stereo virtual buses for internal side-chain routing.
Input and/or output filtering, select a frequency bandwidth to apply the compression on.
Stereo (un)linking, for expressive stereo ducking & keying effects.
Switch between 'keying' and 'ducking' (inverting the compression effect).
Multiple audio input and output meters to make a side-chain setup as easy as possible.
Sidechain gain & Threshold control.
Compression ratio, attack & release control. (up to 2000 ms)
Drive control, with soft saturation to 'fatten up' your sound. (up to 12 dB)
