Sweep and bite

From the build log
What we actually check before shipping.
Practical notes from the Rys Up workflow so this page gives more than a generic plugin description.
01
Vocal-first workflow
RysUpGulp is tested in real vocal chains before release, not just as a generic audio effect.
02
Format status
Every major DAW. macOS Universal. Windows x64. No bridge, no hassle.
03
Release cadence
Updates ship through RysUpHub so fixes and new workflow improvements reach active customers quickly.
Look closer
Two knobs. A hungry little filter.
Set the sound with Sweep and Grit. Follow the movement on the live filter display.
A rhythm you can see
Choose Gulp, Double bite, Slow chew, or Chomp. Follow your DAW tempo or set a manual BPM; the character follows the actual filter movement while audio is playing.

Built different
Small team. Real humans. Shipping daily.
The big plugin brands take years between updates. We ship improvements every day, because we're small, fast, AI-accelerated, and actually listening to the people using our plugins.
We iterate faster than anyone
Leading AI in our dev workflow means we ship new features, new plugins, and bug fixes on a near-daily cadence. Waves took 20 years to update their EQ. We update every week.
You ask, we build
Tell us what you want in the plugin and we'll build it. Suite subscribers get direct access to the dev team. Submit feature requests and see them shipped, usually within the week.
Here to disrupt, not extract
No iLok dongles. No paid "upgrade plans." No sales teams taking a cut. We skip the middlemen and price our plugins at what they're actually worth. Pro-grade DSP at indie prices.
Got feedback? Send it our way. We read every message, and we ship what the community asks for.
Built for pro records
Turn a static loop into a moving filter groove. Set the sweep, add grit, and let Gulp chomp along with the rhythm.
Questions, answered
Everything you need to know.
Can I try the plugin before I buy it?
Yes. You can hear the real plugin in action before you buy. Use the Before & After player on this page to switch between the same audio with the plugin turned off and on. The After version was processed by the actual plugin, not a recreated effect, so you can hear exactly what it changes before you decide.
What does Gulp do?
Gulp is a rhythmic filter effect. It moves a resonant filter in a repeating pattern and lets you add grit, turning sustained sounds and loops into pulsing, animated textures.
Is RysUpGulp a good FilterFreak alternative?
Yes, if you want a rhythmic filter plugin without paying $149 for Soundtoys FilterFreak. RysUpGulp costs $5 to own outright or comes with every plugin in RysUpSuite, and it activates through RysUpHub with no iLok or dongle. The comparison on this page lines up price, licensing and formats side by side.
Why does Gulp move while the knobs stay still?
The knobs set the amount of sweep and grit. An internal repeating pattern moves the filter in time with the tempo, and the character follows that movement.
How does Gulp compare with larger filter tools?
Gulp focuses on two sound controls and four ready-to-use rhythmic patterns. Tools with editable LFOs, multiple filters, or larger modulation systems offer more detailed sound design. Choose Gulp when you want to reach a rhythmic effect quickly.
Can I set the tempo myself?
Yes. Turn Sync off and enter a BPM. With Sync on, Gulp follows the tempo supplied by your host.
Can I reduce the animation?
Gulp respects your system reduced-motion preference. The filter keeps processing while the character stays still.
Will RysUpGulp work in my DAW?
Yes. RysUpGulp ships as AU, VST3 and AAX on macOS, plus VST3 and AAX on Windows, and installs through RysUpHub. That covers FL Studio, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Studio One, Cubase, Reaper and every other major DAW.
