I've been playing with this the past week to emulate sidechain compression from ext drum source.
When you turn the Ext In dial on Pro 3, it brings you into the area where you can make all settings. You'll need to adjust Input Gain and Trigger Threshold depending on your source. Then switch over to the third menu and you can set Attack/Release for the input envelope.
In the Mod Matrix you can assign the Env Follow Source to whatever parameter you want, with an amount. There's also a Peak Hold source.
