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 ;-)

Sounds like its circuits are 30 years old and some components have been bypassed or tinkered with. But, hey, you got it for free so who cares? Look for it in your AUv3 plugin folder. 1.7 10/04/2019 Tackled an issue where suddenly no sound would be produced (issue introduced in iOS 12.3.1) 1.6.1 06/22/2019 Added a protection against possible "infinitely-decaying-slide" phenomenon when the synth does not receive a note-off during a sliding note. After 12 consecutive slides or reaching near-silence while sliding, the synth engine will assume something is wrong and reset the amp section for the next note. 1.5.3 01/12/2018 Fixed minor bug related to changing session samplerates on the fly 1.5.2 01/03/2018 - Implemented workarounds for some "Files" and "Open In..." related weirdness
