Here's what the reviews say: "Perfect for on the move acid sessions, the Trouble Maker app faithfully recreates the sound of the original TB-303" - DJ Mag "Troublemaker is absolutely no trouble at all to heartily recommend" - SoundOnSound "If you want to make the bassline from Josh Wink’s ‘Higher State of Consciousness’ on the bus, this is the app for the job" - Factmag.com "Top-notch stuff from a developer that just keeps getting better" - Musicappblog.com "This app has been consuming all of my time this week! Love it!" - Discchord.com 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 ;-) ## Troublemaker Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource126/v4/93/4d/46/934d46bf-9d35-1598-850d-84aee13cfec2/a2c4c27f-5340-4764-81dc-8a4422f94900_6.5_1.jpg/2688x1242.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource126/v4/82/4d/13/824d130c-b918-3a6f-4f29-6c2e850c7547/066342fc-1730-493f-b162-1327f76e3052_6.5_2.jpg/2688x1242.png) ## Troublemaker Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 53 (83%) - 4 stars: 5 (8%) - 3 stars: 2 (3%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 4 (6%) ## Troublemaker Reviews in United States ### ****- "🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨" Can you Please add the dark gray theme.. it’s too bright -- Greg.ni, 2023-12-18 ### ***** "Double the trouble" This app is great.. especially in duo instances. Brams work is the best ;) Awesome Job on this one man. -- EthanGross, 2023-06-08 ### *---- "Beautiful synth ZERO SUPPORT" 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. -- Igdujgf, 2022-10-13 ### ***** "Just yes!" ACIEED! It’s great! -- anickt, 2022-09-12 ### ***** "Great acid synth" This app sounds great! It’s the best sounding 303 emulation I’ve found so far and the extra waveforms are really usable. I also like the interface because it’s easy to see the whole pattern at a glance. It’s much easier to use than the regular 303 sequencer. One thing I would wish for is cc mapping of the controls. From what I’ve read the values seem fixed, and they’re also fixed on my usb controller, unfortunately with no overlap. I’d prefer not to have to buy a new usb controller, but this app is so fun I just might. -- B Griska, 2022-03-04 ### *---- "Not working?" I don’t think this is working any longer for iPhone 11? -- jsmiles25, 2021-05-19 ### ****- "Pretty cool." Does what it says on the tin. -- Ben Grigson, 2021-02-09 ### ***** "ACID!" ACIDDDDDD. That is all thank you very much. -- Morgman73, 2020-03-28 ### ***-- "Great sound but kills your battery!!!" Sounds awesome but runs in background spinning the cpu and wasting your battery. Check the battery in settings and you’ll see it’s using energy even if you’re not using it! They need to fix this! -- churroparty, 2019-10-18 ### ***** "303 Techno House Legit..." See title Buy immediately. -- RUST(i)K, 2019-10-14 ### ***** "Added the acid 303!" Wow i thought this was an amazing 303 ish app before and now it has a pretty darn good acid bassline in the AU. Sticker was a nice touch, i feel we are all closer as one and all is love! -- Oceans in space, 2019-10-05 ### ****- "Great App!" Killer sound, just one caveat...I noticed on one of your other plugins that you added a radio option to adjust “step resolution” to other note lengths (i.e. triplets), not having this a standard feature across all your plugins is a major bummer. Hope this eventually changes! Keep up the great work -- pah_je, 2019-08-21 ### ***** "fantastic" this synth sounds amazing! fantastic tone -- Caliphoto, 2019-06-12 ### ***-- "Fun and easy to use, missing basic features" I love the simplicity and random functions. It’s missing basic features that prevent it from being a serious plugin. Specifically, it’s missing - undo pattern change - octave control/switch - sub oscillator - filter attack - lfo destination (it only controls cutoff) - glide time Nevertheless, I still find myself playing around with it for up to 30 minutes at times. I can get a nice little pattern going very quickly too, which is it’s best feature imo. I would instead recommend Bram bros’s midi controller suite, which has troublemaker’s pattern generator as a midi controller. -- Will 1522, 2019-06-07 ### ***** "Not working with iPhone 7!" Does this work as a stand-alone app? It opens, I only get sequencer section not top synth section. Downloaded audiobus 3, still not working! Not happy. What am I doing wrong? Sorry I never got back to you. User error. Love the app. Love all your apps actually. Keep me coming!! -- feloniouspunk70, 2019-05-31 ### ***** "Great app, awesome dev" Just wanted to say thanks, and that on a 3rd gen IPad Pro, you are one of, or possibly the only developer that is good enough that all of your apps are FULLY functional, I’ve wasted like 200 bucks on apps that half/don’t work at all on new devices/ios12. You give me hope that I didn’t waste 1400 bucks on an IPad that I mainly got for mobile audio production. Moog pooped the bed, sugarbytes pooped the bed, and so did most others, there are few apps that are fully functional and don’t have audiobus zombie background use and 70% cpu usage. I seriously have to hard reset brand new IPad after attempting to use 30 dollar apps. Thanks again keep it up, cuz you totally win at this point in the app game. You made higher paid devs look completely incompetent. -- whydoyoumakememakeanickname, 2018-12-11 ### ***** "Yeah this sh** be awesome" Two minutes with Troublemaker had me headbanging to my internal DJ and dancing at my own private rave. Love it, can’t wait to use it in my live set next week at the music convention. Looking forward to seeing how well it syncs up to some beat machines, but as it stands on its own, very fun indeed. -- Conrad Keely, 2018-08-30 ### ***** "Active and Responsive Developer, Great Sounds, AUv3 what more could you want!" I own every product from this developer. I am in support of developers embracing the AUv3 standard, especially when it sounds this good. Lots of consistency and simple, but powerful control options. Lots of constant updates with new features. Highly recommended. -- Mark Thomas Walker, 2017-10-13 ### ***** "Oh my! Where to start??" Aagh. Words fail me. This is the best flippin' music app I have ever had. Not just on iOS, EVER! I'll admit I wouldn't know a real TB-03 from any of the various emulations I've used over the years, but I do know that this nails EXACTLY what I want, plus so much more. Everything about the execution of this app is top notch. Bram Bos has outdone himself, and that is saying a LOT. However, do NOT buy this if you're serious about putting a lot of music out, or if your parents / friends / significant other suspect you of substance abuse. Because you will spend hours and hours and hours and days and day just messing with Troublemaker with a totally stupid, stoned looking grin on your face. Kidding aside ... Troublemaker sounds great, is way more than a TB-03 emulator, looks great, works great, is fun to use, and just oozes quality. If you're into electronic music in any way, you will not be dissapointed. If you aren't into electronic music ... be prepared for that to change. [update 1/21/2017] Beam Bos updated again with a really nice added mutation: skip notes. With this and the other parameters, you can set up patterns to run with just the right amount of variation to keep them from getting boring - or make them go ape sh_*t. Very nice! [update 7/18/2017] Brambos does it again. He just released a patch to work around a bug in another developer's host app until they provide their own fix! That's beyond the call of duty! -- wareismike, 2017-07-19 ### **--- "Disappointed again" Nothing to see here. Just another lame 303 emulator that tries to add a new take but fails. Way too expensive for what it is. Maybe someday we'll get a good iOS 303 but not yet. -- dreux36, 2017-06-21 [View all Troublemaker reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Troublemaker Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Israel | Music | #22 | | Top Paid | Israel | Overall | #162 | | Top Paid | Saudi Arabia | Music | #248 | | Top Paid | Belarus | Music | #250 | | Top Paid | Dominican Republic | Music | #282 | | Top Paid | Ukraine | Music | #289 | | Top Paid | Egypt | Music | #290 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Music | #311 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | Music | #319 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Music | #327 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Music | #342 | | Top Paid | Japan | Music | #348 | | Top Paid | Finland | Music | #355 | | Top Paid | France | Music | #371 | | Top Paid | Poland | Music | #387 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Music | #406 | | Top Paid | Portugal | Music | #413 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Music | #419 | | Top Paid | Spain | Music | #420 | | Top Paid | Denmark | Music | #424 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Music | #440 | | Top Paid | Czechia | Music | #446 | | Top Paid | Germany | Music | #460 | | Top Paid | China | Music | #471 | | Top Paid | Italy | Music | #491 | ## Troublemaker Discovered Keywords -
