189 Routing and I/O
A number of Ableton’s built-in devices have their own sidechain controls with integrated routing
choosers that match those found in tracks. Thus when using these devices, it is not necessary to
follow the above procedure — you can simply select the sidechain source from within the device
itself.
Layering Instruments
Suppose that we have a MIDI track containing an instrument playing a string sound, which we
would like to augment by adding a brass sound playing the same notes. This can be easily done
by adding a MIDI track that contains an instrument playing the brass sound and setting its Input
Type chooser to tap the string track’s Post FX signal.
Using an Auxiliary MIDI Track to Layer Instruments.
Perhaps you wonder why this works, given that the string track’s output is audio and not MIDI.
When routing MIDI in from another track, we are tapping the MIDI at the latest possible stage,
which is after any MIDI Effects, and just before the instrument.
