FEEL THE PUMP
Pumpit Raw
One-Knob Sidechain Pump
"Glues your kick and sub together in one turn: tempo-synced sidechain pump with automatic gain compensation."
WHAT IT DOES
Glue your kick and sub together with a single knob. Pumpit Raw is the free, one-knob version of Pumpit: turn up GLUE and a tempo-synced sidechain pump locks your low end into that punchy, breathing groove on any track. No routing, no sidechain input, no setup: it reads your DAW's tempo automatically, and the output is auto-leveled so the pump adds groove, not volume swings.
THE GLUE KNOB
GLUE controls the depth of the tempo-synced pump. At low settings, you get a subtle groove that just breathes with the kick. Push it further and the duck gets deeper and punchier: that classic tech house pump. Automatic gain compensation keeps the overall level consistent, so you can dial in the groove without volume spikes.
UNDER THE HOOD
Tempo-synced pump engine: the duck envelope is driven by the host transport's PPQ position, locked to a 1/4-note cycle, with an internal clock and a 128 BPM fallback so the pump keeps running even when the transport is stopped.
Envelope shaping: a per-cycle envelope combines the hard-wired Hold with the Punchy curve, applied as a smoothed 2 ms duck gain to eliminate zipper noise, and resets cleanly on transport jumps and tempo changes.
Lookahead, constant latency: the main audio is delayed by a fixed 5 ms so the duck is applied cleanly ahead of the beat, and that latency is reported statically so the host's plugin delay compensation stays stable mid-stream.
Level-matched output: auto-gain is forced on and the output biases down slightly at full, so the pump adds groove, not volume swings, while a tanh soft-clipper holds a 0 dBFS safety ceiling.
One macro, hidden parameters: GLUE is the only automatable parameter; every other engine control is non-automatable but still saved and restored with the session, with NaN/Inf protection and ScopedNoDenormals guarding the whole block.
