I see ramp-1 through ramp-4 as mod sources in MX4's mod matrix, I cannot figure out what the ramp control does or where its controlled on the synth, anyone know?

Page 50 in the manual has a pretty good description.
(If it's not on that page in your manual, look for "Ramps" in the index.)

my manual is in a box in a closet in the SF bay area, I'm in LA and dont have it right now, the manual, could you maybe summarize real quik for me, please...

thanks.

They're generic automation ramps which can be used to add a level of abstraction between the automation data in the instrument track and the modulation(s) in the plug-in.

Example:
- Insert ramp 1 data in the sequence
- In MX4's modulation matrix section (lower right corner), choose "Ramp 1" in the Source column and click in the circle next to it
- Control-click two different controls, say filter cutoff and distortion level, and assign the ramp as a modulation source
- When the automation ramp data is played back, it will modulate both controls

I kinda got that, but how do you control the ramp amount, ehere is that is the real question, I can control Ramp amounts through the controler chart but I connot find them in the GUI, are there controls there at all?

There's no UI for the ramps in the MX4 UI. They simply follow the corresponding ramp automation data in your sequence.

OK, I was going crazy looking for them

thanks.
