Hey, this is a technique I thought of to simulate sidechain on the MPC. I'm pretty sure it'll work on most of them: Basically all you do is set one of the sliders to LVL on the track you want affected by the "compressor" which is just you working the slider sort of like a crossfader on a mixer to the pattern of your kick or whatever. It took me a little practice, but it does achieve a similar if imperfect effect. Below are a couple of beats I used it on you can listen to as examples.
