The lack of proper side-chaining functionality in the Akai MPC Software is something about which I (and judging by various discussion forums, many others) have long been critical.

Side-chaining support for Insert Effects (Compressors, Gates, Expanders, EQs, etc) is an essential tool used by audio engineers, producers, beat makers, etc to help instruments sit well in a mix, add punch to drum tracks, etc.

Ideally, the MPC Software should support Internal and External sources to be used as Side-chain sources.
