A ramp is
a volume shape.
At its core, Ramp II generates a repeating volume curve locked to your DAW tempo. Sine waves, sawtooths, gated pulses, swinging asymmetric shapes — every pump, duck, and breath starts as a waveform, and every knob bends that shape to your taste.
No sidechain signal.
No routing. Just pump.
Traditional sidechain setups require a trigger track, bus routing, and careful gain staging. Ramp II throws all that out — drop it on any channel, dial in the shape you want, and lock your track to the beat instantly.
Drums & bass lock
Carve space for your kick without touching a compressor bus. Tighten the relationship between bass and drums with a single instance on the bass track.
EDM pumping
From subtle four-to-the-floor breath to full-on festival pump. Sync to 1/4, 1/2, or any bar division and instantly get that classic dance-music lift.
Creative rhythmic FX
Go beyond pumping. Rhythmic gating, frequency-band ducking, swing-curve LFOs — Ramp II opens up a whole new category of movement effects.
Lock to the tempo,shape every curve.
Ramp II syncs every shape to your DAW tempo. Choose from bar-length divisions from 1/32 up to 8 bars and watch the volume curve lock tight to the grid — no drift, no phase issues, no manual tuning.
Then bend the shape to taste. Push the bias, stretch the angles, widen the band — every parameter is musical, and every change is audible in real time.
Everything you need,
nothing you don't.
Six knobs. No menus. No deep editors. Every parameter is laid out on one screen and designed to feel musical the moment you grab it.
Lock to the grid.
Sync the ramp curve to any bar division from 1/32 to 8 bars. Every cycle stays perfectly locked to your DAW's transport — no drift, no phase issues.
Bend the shape.
Control the attack and release bias of the volume curve. Bend the rising and falling edges independently — snappy attack into long release, or the reverse.
From ramp to gate.
Shape the start and end angles of the curve. Go from a smooth sine-like pump to a hard rhythmic gate — or anywhere in between — with a single knob.
Duck by frequency.
A two-way slider that limits the ducking to a specific frequency band. Pump only the lows, carve only the mids, or create LFO-style filter sweeps.
Smooth the motion.
A post-processing compressor that smooths the volume shapes into a more musical, rounded movement. Keeps the pump feeling natural even at extreme settings.
Dial in the depth.
Blend from 0% (dry) to 100% (full effect). Parallel pumping, subtle rhythmic movement, or extreme side-chain slam — all from one knob.
Frequently asked questions
No — that's the whole point. Ramp II uses its own internal tempo-synced shape generator, so you don't need to route a kick signal or set up a sidechain bus. Just drop it on any track, sync to a bar division, and pump.
A regular sidechain compressor reacts to an audio signal. Ramp II generates its own volume shape, locked to tempo, with precise control over the curve, bias, angles, and bandwidth. You get more musical results, faster, with no bus routing headaches.
