Sequencer trigger to sidechain input?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>If a compressor has a sidechain/detector input, can you instead of audio signals plug in a sequencer gate signal?</p> <p>Specifically: I have a Yamaha GC2020 IIB on loan, and I'd like to try triggering it with one of the drum trigger outs of my Keystation Pro.</p> <p>Am I correct that line level signals, which the comp is used to seeing, are a lower voltage than a gate signal? Is the difference enough to potentially damage the circuitry?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Swein_Forkbeard"> /u/Swein_Forkbeard </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/vgsbe4/sequencer_trigger_to_sidechain_input/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/vgsbe4/sequencer_trigger_to_sidechain_input/">[comments]</a></span>
