Ramp 2 Black Friday pricing is 61% off, $19, until Nov 25, 2026, on a volume shaper plugin from BeatSkillz built for tempo-synced ducking and rhythmic gating.
Ramp 2 is an envelope shaper that draws a volume ramp across your signal and locks it to the beat. The maker pitches it at ducking chords, bass and beats, with bandpass filtering built in.
The idea is to skip the hours of manual curve drawing. You get simple controls and musical presets, and the volume shapes follow your project tempo.
The maker lists lo-fi, house, EDM and other genres as a good fit.
The ramp curve syncs to tempo, so every duck lands on a beat division. Time Div offers 1, 2, 4 and 8 bars, plus 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 bar settings.
A compressor sits after the shaping stage, so you can smooth the finished curve before it leaves the plugin.
Each control does one job:
Bias is the one that changes the character most. The two-way slider moves you from straight or swing-style ducking over to rhythmic gating.
Band is what makes this more than a plain sidechain-style duck. Only the range you pick gets ramped, and the rest of the signal passes untouched. The maker also points out that this produces filtering-LFO type effects.
Mix works as a depth control. Pull it back for gentle movement on a pad, or push it for the heavy pumping that EDM and house lean on.
On Mac, Ramp 2 comes as VST3, AU and AAX. It needs macOS 10.14 Mojave or later (64-bit only) and an Intel i5 or later, or an Apple Silicon M1 processor.
On Windows, it comes as VST3 and AAX. It needs Windows 10 or later (64-bit only) and an Intel i5 or later, or an AMD Athlon 64 or equivalent.
Both platforms list 2 GB RAM as recommended and 300 MB of free disk space.

Ramp 2 applies a volume ramp to your audio, synced to the tempo at different beat divisions. The maker built it for ducking chords, bass and beats, with bandpass filtering and musical presets so you reach the shape without hours of tweaking.
Ramp 2 is VST3, AU and AAX on Mac, and VST3 and AAX on Windows. The Mac version needs macOS 10.14 Mojave or later, the Windows version Windows 10 or later, both 64-bit only.
Band is a two-way slider that sets a bandpass range for the ramp to affect, leaving the rest of the signal alone. Bias reshapes the attack and release of the curve, from straight or swing-style ducking to rhythmic gating.
