Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Each ramper can be configured for a simple, single-step switching function between two pre-defined expression settings.
The Ramper's internal clock can be synced to an external tap input, allowing it to modulate those pedals in a rhythmic fashion regardless of their native tempo capabilities.
While versatile, the complexity of the Ramper X3 is best suited for users who actively incorporate expression pedals and desire advanced modulation capabilities; it might be overkill for occasional use.
