Instrument synchronisation
Sometimes it is necessary to synchronise the attack of two instruments. Often a bass
guitar must be made to synchronise precisely to the regular beat of the bass drum.
This can be done by passing the bass guitar through the gate and using the bass drum
as the external sidechain.
