Troublemaker for Positive User Reviews

The Bass Line MakerThere are a multitude of ways you can play the app, via midi, the AU host keyboard, or the built in sequencer which has a random and mutation mode. It's easy to export audio or midi sequences directly as perfect loops to your other apps. The developer continues to add new features and improvements..Version: 1.2.1

It's (NOT) a 303!It's better. It sounds like a 303 but the sequencer isn't from a 303. The sequencer is a stroke of genius! A real 303 (and every emulation of one) is a faff to program. But this is like a dream to program. It's inspired and takes real advantage of the touchscreen display. It makes the process of programming so intuitive that nothing stands in the way of your creativity. And being able to quickly change key or move the sequence along or come up with variations of your pattern or completely random patterns is the icing on a particularly tasty cake. Just buy it..Version: 1.0

Need developers to respondThis is a standout app for the sounds it can create, but there’s still no ability to save parameters or to capture the correct octave when exporting as WAV..Version: 1.6.1

If it sounds like a duckIt's not a 303 but it sure as heck sounds like one. Great sounding synth with one of the most inspirational sequencer interfaces in iOS. This is the best 303 emulation I've heard even compared to much higher priced VSTs..Version: 1.2.3

Rarely does something merit the hyperbole & hype that it gets, Troublemaker deserves it allBram Bos is a class act who is friendly to the iOS music production community and always fixes any issues with his apps. When it was revealed his latest in the "maker" series of AUv3 primed soft synth apps was going to be a bass machine the buzz was instant, then beta users started putting it over & the first few videos showed up. Of course the 303 comparison was the easiest to make but I was more impressed with the genius note input system he came up with, showing that the skeuomorphic mimicking of hardware down to the last detail isn't always the best way of doing things. I am more a pop/rock/indie guitarist than EDM guy but I love all types of instruments, keys, sounds, etc. I got the app during the 3/03 sale and have been awed by its sound and versatility. The 'bass guitar' wave tone is completely usable but the other waves & especially the fine tune controls for shaping are just crazy. All manner of burps, bloots, fizzles, rumbles, reso stomps and wooly bass tones can be copped quite easily. I am seriously impressed and thank Bram for the sale. I hope others on the fence realize that on sale or not, this is an incredible app. Highly recommend..Version: 1.2.2

Yeah this sh** be awesomeTwo 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..Version: 1.5.3

Great acid synthThis 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..Version: 1.7

Almost perfectJust needs undo function, freeze some steps from randomisation, and 4-8 parts you can seeemlessly move between with copy paste and then it’s perfect. Great app. I still give it 5 stars now because it’s really great fun to use.Version: 1.7

Instant buy and no regretsSo far i bought all of Bram Bos' apps and i love them all. This one is no exception and maybe even the best of all of them. You'll be grooving in a matter or seconds after you boot this one up. Super groovy and delicious. This one sounds like a beast and is super easy to operate. And it is made in Holland, the country where all great things come from. Grab it now while your money is still worth something....Version: 1.0

So. Much. Fun.If you enjoy making electronic music, and have any affinity for the last couple of decades of dance music then you HAVE to buy this app. Sounds incredible, and is superbly designed for minimum fuss and complexity. Plus this is created by a developer who updates and improves all his products all time and who listens to his users feedback..Version: 1.1

A wonder to beholdThe most inspired and talented developer on iOS, the most wonderful 303 app you can own. Been waiting years for an app like this, had been using Rebirth which whilst lovely for its authentic recreation aspects, but this fella is an absolute show stealer. Can sit and mess with the same loop until my household threatens me with physical violence. I. Love. It..Version: 1.0

FantasticThis synth sounds amazing! fantastic tone.Version: 1.5.3

Another Home Run!!!I now own all of this developer's apps. And, all of them top notch. However, this one might be my favorite out of them all. The sequencer in this baby is insane! Very easy to set up exactly what you're after, but then hit the random buttons and tweak the probability settings, and you'll end up with magnificent stuff you hadn't even thought of. Highly recommended!.Version: 1.2.3

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!!.Version: 1.5.3

Awesome app!Great sound, easy user interface and ability to sync to midi makes this the best bassline app ever. I have been looking for an actual analog bass machine like the TB-303 but, now I am done searching. This synced to my TR-8 makes for hours long jam sessions..Version: 1.2.2

I love this so much but..I want midi outThe sound is great and the ui is very impressive. I really think the sequencer in this would be great for Driving a hardware monosynth so please can we have midi out? The mutations are sooo good!.Version: 1.2.3

So amazing so close to 303This is the fastest I have reviewed an app. Uh wow! No it's not a 303 it's an APP!!! Does it sound as good as the boutique re rerelease. YES!!! Nobody would ever know the difference in the mix. I see fun releases down the road. Peace! SoundCloud -microluv.Version: 1.0

Acid Bass BlissI have tried many TB-303 copycats, both hardware and software, and nothing comes as close as this. Burbles and warbles like the real thing. Dynamic sound, lots of control, and the sequencer is dead easy to use as well if you want to work in- box..Version: 1.7

303 Techno House Legit...See title Buy immediately..Version: 1.7

Top ClassThis thing sounds awesome, and the UI is super slick too. New functionality is being added all the time..Version: 1.2

Great app to generate acid samplesThis is an updated review. The app is great at doing what it says. Acid bass line samples. I just figured out how to record straight into Logic Pro. The only suggestion I have is the developer should add a red banner at the top of the screen when switching away from the app like google maps does so that the user knows it’s still running and using the battery.Version: 1.5.3

Acid Knockout!There's an inexplicable clarity to how this app feels: the UI is brilliant and taking on 303 emulation is no small task but Brambos knocks it out of the park: Very convincing acid and beyond via a generous waveform selection and the amazing degree of expressiveness possible within this app. Cutting edge excellence for iOS which is top-tier essential..Version: 1.1

Great App!A really nice 303esque sequencer and sounds great! Love the extra waves... makes those slack grooves fresh. Wish list... 1. An extra higher octave 2. Ability to save synth settings with patterns and or create synth engine presets. If the app had the above it would be perfect in my opinion! Great work..Version: 1.2.1

GeniusI'm in awe with this! so intuitive and easy to use - there's a real feeling in the sound (and you'll know it when you find the sweet spots) best emulation I've used bar non (seriously).Version: 1.0

Nearly a 5...Love the App... hours of seamless fun. Going to use it live in my Edm band, but just wish there was a way of highlighting or displaying which of the patterns I'm using. 🎹😎.Version: 1.2.3

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..Version: 1.5.1

Double the troubleThis app is great.. especially in duo instances. Brams work is the best ;) Awesome Job on this one man..Version: 1.8.3

AwesomeSounds great and is dead simple to program. Developer really listens to feedback and updates. Please ignore review from dufus that gave it a 3 because of another app no having link..Version: 1.2.3

Love it!Great app for your all your 303 desires. Very easy to use sequencer too..Version: 1.5.2

ACID!ACIDDDDDD. That is all thank you very much..Version: 1.7

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Can you Please add the dark gray theme.. it’s too bright.Version: 1.8.5

FishguttFantastic sounding app.very nice easy interface.easily worth the money. New update. This thing just gets better 👍 Still fantastic..Version: 1.2.1

If you like Acid...... You will love this, such a great app from one of the best indie developers out there. Buy it!.Version: 1.2

!If you like making music.. I highly recommend picking up ALL the Bram Bos gear..Version: 1.0

I love this but…I absolutely LOVE this app. It’s utterly brilliant. But I cannot figure out how to use it as an auv3 in GarageBand or logic pro. It just doesn’t seem to to have the same functionality, and is a stripped down version with a piano keyboard rather than the grid based system in the standalone version. So I have to export midi files from the standalone and import them from my files app into my DAW. And then place them into a Troublemaker instrument opened in the DAW. Maybe that was the dev’s intention. Either that or I’m missing something obvious. Still, it works that way, and has been an amazing bass tool, but the extra steps seem a little tiresome some days. But…. as I said, I do love the app..Version: 1.8.5

Just pony upYup this is the closest 303 you are going to get on iOS. Masterpiece.Version: 1.0

More than just a great 303-like bassline synthThe additional waveforms, the versatile sequencer, and best yet: The ability to export midi makes this a powerful a must-have. This is one of those rare apps that gets even better when you use it in ways you suspect were unintended. Also: Amazing support by the developer. I own all of their apps..Version: 1.2.2

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!.Version: 1.7

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!.Version: 1.4.3

Soooooo small on the iPhonePretty good. Small controls and somewhat limited but good for what it is. Sounds better than most which is what counts..Version: 1.4.5

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.Version: 1.6.1

Tb303 and moreSquelching bass lines screaming leads Lovely to 303 emulation with extras on the top. Get it.Version: 1.4.4

The best by farBrambos plugins are by far the best on IOS, this is no exception, best 303 by far on IOS and actually up there with any digital recreation on any platform, stunning!!!.Version: 1.1

Great soundsVery cool!.Version: 1.1

Just like the 303I was hoping that I could replicate the sounds of the Roland tr-303 and I can honestly say that this is not far off. Got the tempo to exactly match that of my Korg drum machine and synth creating some lovely acid sounds. Worth the money..Version: 1.5.3

AwesomeGreat sound and UI, responsive developer. Just nails 'that' sound..Version: 1.1

Just yes!ACIEED! It’s great!.Version: 1.7

Highly usable instrumentSounds fantastic and is way easier to program than a classic 303. Ableton Link takes this over the top. I'll be using this regularly in my mixes. Awesome work by the programmers. One of my top 5 apps, easily..Version: 1.1

Love the sound and interfaceTrue innovation here. I'm enjoying where it's taking me musically..Version: 1.1

Love this / much fun! <3Update suggestions: 1.) midi OUT (outputing notes/bends to other synths) would make this app a top notch intuitive production tool. (praying for this) 2.) scale templates to slide the notes into seemlessly.Version: 1.2.2

Pretty cool.Does what it says on the tin..Version: 1.7
