LFO sidechained waveform based on sequence events
One of the often requested features for the Blackbox is sidechaining. But we all keep in mind that there might be some hardware limitations as this would mean adding at least a compressor or limiter assignable to a PAD and an output route for the side-chaining source.
I suggest here an alternative way to implement a sort of sidechaining effect that could possibly avoid hitting technical limitations and hopefully be easier to develop as it would use the already present LFO feature.
The idea would be to add a new LFO waveform shape option that would be constructed based on a chosen sequence. Typically, say we set a PAD's volume as destination connect the source to a drum sequence, it would create a volume ducking wave based on the sequenced events of the selected sequence.
This method would be hardly usable for anything else than drums or pluck or short decay/release notes, but if the actual audio source based sidechaining was too complicated/technically impossible to implement on current hardware, maybe this would be better than nothing, as it would allow us to at least achieve that typical ducking effect so much loved by producers.
We can certainly already achieve something like that with the current LFO but hardly on anything else than a four-to-the-floor kick drum, which limits the possibilities of using it on anything other than some electronic music genre tracks with basic drum rhythms.
