separate instances for side chain from Ableton drum rack
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.
