Ruismaker released today Troublemaker, a modern version of the TB-303 for the iPhone and iPad. It’s not a complete emulation of this legendary machine but a modern approach of it because you can change sequences really easy and contains much more waveforms than the original one. If you love the 303 sound, than Troublemaker is a must have Synthesizer for iPhone and iPad. One important thing is: it support also IOS Audio Unit. Check out my very short video on Instragram for a very first impression. Quick Demo
A larger sound demo is planed for the near future. Due of my preparations of the NAMM Show and other projects, this must wait a bit.
Troublemaker is available here:
Note: Troublemaker requires iPad 4/Mini 2/iPhone 5S/iPod Touch 6 or higher
Introducing Troublemaker: this is not a 303
The legendary TB-303 has magical properties; it is filled to the brim with analog shimmer. Its output jack is a gateway to a parallel universe and when you twiddle the filter knobs an army of highly trained pixies chisel the square waves from freshly harvested unicorn souls. So if you want a TB-303, you should buy a TB-303. But if you’re after *that sound* Troublemaker will give you everything you need in spades.
Troublemaker sports a carefully crafted diode filter emulation and among the available oscillators are the typical raspy, nasal sawtooth and rubbery squarewave with its oddball shape and shifting pulsewidth.
It also has the wow.
Troublemaker is fully Audio Unit (AUv3) compatible, so you can go wild running multiple instances in your favorite DAWs.
It also has:
– Ableton Link synchronization,
– MIDI CC mapping,
– Core Midi, Virtual Midi, Bluetooth Midi input,
– Audiobus support
– Exports MID and WAV files from the standalone sequencer
And unlike the TB-303, it can actually sound like a bass guitar 😉
