Sidechaining in MSoundfactory

[muntuns]

I have a feeling this is borderlining on asking too much, but is there any way to have a sidechain signal affect the FX hosted in MSoundFactory? Ableton doesn't let me route a sidechain into MSoundFactory, probably because it's an instrument not an effect. Just making sure there's no workaround.

You can use MSF inside MXXX

If I owned MXXX I wouldn't have felt like this feature was asking too much hahaha

MSF has no audio input (sidechain or otherwise) to prevent users from routing audio through the effects section and thus using it like MXXX. The effects section is incredibly powerful and lets users route audio as they please, but because of that it's too easy for a user to just use MSF as a less expensive version of MXXX. This does unfortunately mean that you cannot sidechain the effects of MSF itself (well technically you can sidechain with audio generated by MSF, but nothing external).
