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 square wave with its oddball shape and shifting pulse width.

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:

  • MIDI CC controllers for all knobs (predefined),
  • Core Midi, Virtual Midi, Bluetooth Midi input,
  • MIDI Clock Sync, MIDI Start / Stop support
  • Realtime Mutation Probability Engine
  • Standalone sequencer supports 1-64 steps
  • Audiobus 3 support (audio + MIDI)
  • Exports MID and WAV files from the standalone sequencer
  • User manual and MIDI charts on ruismaker.com
  • Comes with an extra AUv3 plugin version of a modded Troublemaker unit

And unlike the TB-303, it can actually sound like a bass guitar ;-)

Arpeggiator doesn’t load in Cubasis or Aum. Five days no reply to support inquiry. I had to buy Rozeta for another $10 just to have access to a decent arpeggiator, but found it had no randomization features. Developer has hobbled and hog tied the app with no explanation…I think a solution to my issue or a partial refund is in order cause I do like the sound of the synth part of the app. In fairness the problem could be with Cubasis and Aum. Cubasis has not responded either. This does not absolve this developer for blowing me off. I have never rated one star but now I get why people do. I wanna make music, what do developers want? Money? Not loyalty? Incredible.
