Sidechain Compressor

The SIDECHAIN COMPRESSOR block — a real compressor on the program PLUS an external-key duck: wire your program through it (compressed by the transfer curve you bend) and a KEY signal (the kick) into its Key input. The compressor glues the program while an env-follower on the key ducks the output VCA in time with every hit — the house/EDM 'kick into the sidechain' move built from existing parts. Bend the transfer curve for the compression; shape the pump with the follower's Attack / Release and the Depth.
