I'm sure it's not a common workflow, but I sequence all of my drums from one instance of Ableton's drum rack. I would like to be able to place instances of ProQ3 on individual drum pads and then be able to access them for side chaining on other channels.
As far as I can tell, I can only see one instance of ProQ3 per channel, versus per pad in drum rack.

If there is a way to do this, I'd love to know how!!! I don't think this is Ableton specific entirely, but that's was DAW I'm doing this in.

Hi Daniel,

I don't think it's possible to add plug-ins to an individual drum pad, but as far as I know you can use multiple outputs of your drum rack and use those as side chains for your other tracks.

I figured out how to do it with return tracks, but it's really awkward....Implement in a future update??? nudge nudge

I don't think it's up to us to implement individual plug-ins per drummed, but you can send your feedback to Ableton.

It sounds like you're trying to apply sidechain compression to individual drum pads within Ableton's drum rack using ProQ3. Unfortunately, as you've noticed, the drum rack is treated as a single channel, so plugins like ProQ3 are generally applied to the entire rack rather than individual pads.
