01 / SIDECHAIN — INTRODUCING SID

SID

Grooving Sidechain

Make your bassline breathe.

Hear the difference

Same loop, same curve, same depth. The only difference is the pattern.

Every sidechain plugin ducks the same on every beat. SID lets each one breathe differently, longer here, tighter there, locked to your grid.

01 / SIDECHAIN

SID

Grooving Sidechain

Draw the pump.

Sidechain shouldn’t sound like a compressor picking a fight with your kick. SID lets you draw the envelope step by step, editable points, tension per segment, so the ducking becomes part of the groove instead of an effect stapled on top.

16-step pattern engine

A different pattern per step. No two bars alike.

Editable curves

Points and tension per segment. The exact shape you want.

Band + focus

Duck only the range that’s in the way. Leave the rest untouched.

PPQ-locked

Nailed to the host tempo. Always in time.

    SID has completely changed the way I approach sidechain. Super fast, intuitive, and the groove variations make basslines feel much more alive. Definitely one of those plugins you start using on every project

    I only bought SID a couple of days ago, but I started using it immediately and have already gone back into my last 2 tracks that I was about to complete, and replaced the ducking I had been using with SID instead. That says a lot for me. Ducking has traditionally felt quite mechanical, but SID turns it into an evolving rhythmical and creative expression of the groove. Shaping the movement, timing and feel is incredibly quick and intuitive. Simple, clever and extremely effective, it has already made a noticeable difference to the feel of my productions. It’s exceptional value and an easy recommendation
