Syncable Triple Expression Control with Presets
The Expression Ramper X3 is an expression movement shaper capable of manipulating three expression jacks simultaneously with copious control. A Ramper is a device that creates motion on your expression-enabled devices. You choose point A, point B, and the way it moves between. It's utilitarian, but opens up a number of sounds from your existing pedals.
The Expression Ramper X3's allows you to set the shape of the LFO, which determines the expression motion. There are 3 standard shapes (Triangle, Square and One Shot), and 3 random variations of those shapes:
• Triangle, for a linear motion between A and B, starting and ending at A and hitting B at halfway on the LFO cycle.
• Alternate shape: Smooth random, which repeatedly moves to a random spot between A and B in a linear fashion.
• Square, to snap between A and B, spending half of the LFO cycle in each position.
• Alternate shape: Sharp random, which immediately moves to a new random spot between A and B at the start of each cycle.
• 1 SHOT, to move linearly either from A to B or B to A (depending on the starting point) and then stop.
• Alternate shape: one shot random, where each press of the footswitch snaps to a new random spot between A and B.
Expression Ramper X3 is more than three Rampers in one box, there are a plethora of additional controls to tempo sync multiple Rampers.
The SYNC toggles on Rampers II and III determine whether they are synced to Ramper I. ALL syncs everything about the Ramper: the output of the completely synced Ramper will match Ramper I's output exactly. RATE syncs only the rate of the Ramper: A, B, Shape, and motion settings stay independent, but the rate is tempo synced. In this setting, changing the Rate knob assigns subdivisions: 1⁄4, 1⁄2, 1x, 2x, 3x, and 4x speeds are all available. OFF deactivates any syncing, so the Ramper can act fully independently.
Ramper I (the green one) has a TAP button to tap in the desired LFO speed as well as external control via the jack, configurable via the internal dipswitch for TRS Expression input, External Tap Tempo with a footswitch, and tap away.
There is also a TAP OUT jack on the side of Triple Ramper. This continually outputs 3.3V pulses based on Ramper 1's tempo. In this way, you can sync external units (like another Expression Ramper X3) to Ramper 1.
Features
• Expression Control Pedal, with storable expression preset settings
• 3 expression separately adjustable and syncable outputs
• Ramp between 2 presets (A and B)
• 3 new random shapes (Smooth, Sharp and 1 Shot) in addition to the classic shapes (Triangle, Square, and 1 Shot)
• Ability to sync across all three Rampers, with subdivided rate or direct output matching
• Tempo syncing via tap switch on the device, external tap switch, and tap out
• Expression input for Ramper 1, allowing X3 to become a 1-in-3-out Expression splitter
• Rate control, sets the speed of movement
• Configurable EXP output (TRS, TRS reverse polarity or TS)
• Smart footswitching for momentary or latching operation
