Hiya, This should be simple and I've read the archives but still can't get this to work. I have a drum loop on (say) Track 1. I want to use this to trigger a sound in Sculpture which I have inserted, say, on Instrument 1. From the Sulpture GUI I choose Track 1 from the Sidechain menu. Nothing. What could I be doing wrong?

To (partly) answer my own question, extra attention to the parameter settings in Sculpture does yield some results. In paricular, setting Obj. 2 to External is productive. Julian
