De-esser on an insert in a channel can be so much better than using EQ to compensate on certain mics such as headsets.
Similar to how it functions on the D-live.
Cheers in advance!

Yes. This need to be a thing.

Really need this.
+1 - this is a MUST
There actually is a workaround for this. SQ’s compressors do have external sidechain input so you can create your own DeEsser - all you need is an extra channel and a group.
- Patch the desired physical input to an extra channel, so you have two channels receiving the same input signal
- You route one of the channels to a group then the group to the master bus
- Route the other, second channel OUT of the master bus and all groups, so that it won’t come out of your master bus
- Apply HPF on the second, unrouted channel slightly below the “ess” freqency
- Pick up the “ess” frequency on the PEQ and boost it +15dB with a narrow Q (as shown on the attached picture)
- Turn on the compressor on a group where the first channel was routed and set it’s sidechain input to the secon, unrouted, eq’ed channel.
- Voila. The group comp is now your de-esser.

Nice workaround Patrick!
But A&H please add a deesser with next FW-Release!

I think in many situations it may be sufficient to use the side chain without a second channel, since the side chain feature of the compressor allows
- the channel itself to be the side chain source ("self keyed") and
- to apply a HPF to the side chain signal.
