*Learning how to route and modulate*
This lesson covers two topics: how to route audio to a Max device, and how to control other parameters in a Live  set.

*Note:* this lesson assumes you have followed the $Link Introduction <Set:../../../Part 2 - Introduction/Introduction.als>.

*Building the Sidechain Modulator device*
This device gets audio from another track, smooths it, and maps it onto a selected parameter in Live.

Track 1 shows the end result. Continue to track 2, open the /Another Input/ device, follow the steps and continue to the next devices in order of appearance.

*Topics*
This lesson will show you how to:
-> Populate routing drop-down menus
-> Add an extra audio input to a device
-> Use the Live API to select a parameter
-> Use [rampsmooth~] to smooth a signal
-> Control a parameter with [live.remote~]
-> Copy elements from another device
-> Deal with legacy patch code
-> Make the device width tighter

*Bonus*
-> Double the functionality and display two scopes in the area of one.

After the last step, continue to $Link Debugging <Set:../../6 Debugging/Debugging.als>.
