Dynamics III Side-Chain Controls
The controls in the Side-Chain section let you toggle the side-chain between the internal input signal or an external key input, listen to the side-chain, and tailor the equalization of the side-chain signal so that the triggering of dynamics processing becomes frequency-sensitive.
The External Key toggles external side-chain processing on or off. When this button is highlighted, the plug-in uses the amplitude of a separate reference track or external audio source to trigger dynamics processing. When this button is dark gray, the External Key is disabled and the plug-in uses the amplitude of the input signal to trigger dynamics processing.
When enabled, this control lets you listen to the internal or external side-chain input by itself, as well as monitor its levels with the Output meter. This is especially useful for fine-tuning the plug-in’s filter settings or external key input.

Dynamics III Side-Chain HF and LF Filter Enable Buttons
The HF Filter Enable and LF Filter Enable buttons toggle the corresponding filter in or out of the side-chain. When this button is highlighted, the filter is applied to the side-chain signal. When this button is dark gray, the filter is bypassed and available for activation.
Dynamics III Side-Chain High-Frequency (HF) Filter Type
The HF filter section lets you filter higher frequencies out of the side-chain signal so that only certain bands of high frequencies or lower frequencies pass through to trigger dynamics processing. The HF side-chain filter is switchable between Band Pass and Low Pass filters.
Makes triggering of dynamics processing more sensitive to frequencies within the narrow band centered around the Frequency setting, and rolling off at a slope of 12 dB per octave.
Makes triggering of dynamics processing more sensitive to frequencies below the Frequency setting rolling off at a slope of 12 dB per octave.
The HF frequency control sets the frequency position for the Band Pass or Low Pass filter, and ranges from 80 Hz to 20 kHz.
Dynamics III Side-Chain Low-Frequency (LF) Filter Type
The LF filter section lets you filter lower frequencies out of the side-chain signal so that only certain bands of low frequencies or higher frequencies are allowed to pass through to trigger dynamics processing. The LF side-chain is switchable between Band Pass and High Pass filters.
Makes triggering of dynamics processing more sensitive to frequencies within the narrow band centered around the Frequency setting, and rolling off at a slope of 12 dB per octave.
Makes triggering of dynamics processing more sensitive to frequencies above the Frequency setting rolling off at a slope of 12 dB per octave.
The Frequency control sets the frequency position for the Band-Pass or High Pass filter, and ranges from 25 Hz to 4 kHz.
