I wanted real control of color ramps in Blender materials. This file has my solution – groups for your materials that are totally controllable! These groups will allow inputs to every part of those pesky color ramps that you could never control. The best part – every section is fully animate-able!
You can see from the images below the 3 groups provided in the Blend file. Each preview shows a sample node setup with a typical color ramp, and each group set up to match the color ramp configuration. Download provided to the right.

This group is for 2 ranges.
