About Ruismaker
"A must-have drum synth for electronic music lovers on iOS" - Keyboard Mag

Ruismaker is a unique drumsynth plugin (i.e. it does not use samples), which is coupled with a creative Euclidean sequencer when run in standalone mode.
The plugin is fully AUv3 (Audio Unit) compatible:
- Seamless integration with Garageband and other AU hosts
- Audio Unit Instrument: making music on iOS doesn't get more convenient
- Supports Multi-Output AUv3 in AUM and ApeMatrix!
- Each sound is modeled using authentic analog and FM algorithms;
- Comes with dozens of unique customizable models
- Does not use any samples; all sounds are synthesized in realtime, on the fly
- Emulates analog components, introducing subtle, natural fluctuations in the sound
- Light on the CPU, so you can run lots of Ruismakers simultaneously
- Fully automatable parameters (requires host support) and MIDI CC controllable
- Has its own preset manager
The standalone sequencer is refreshingly different:
- Program patterns using Euclidean algorithms
- Powerful random feature and mutation probability settings per channel
- Syncs with Ableton Link or MIDI Clock
- Exports WAV and MIDI
- Compatible with Audiobus 3 (including MIDI IN/OUT mode)
- CoreMIDI In and Out
- AU MIDI output for the on-screen pads

Promising but not perfect in any way
I love this and mr. Bos’ other software. Major issue for me is that when using Ruismaker in standalone mode, portions of the interface are cut off. Why are the delay and revers controls missing in plugin mode?? Also, it would be easier if plug-in mode was able to use the built in sequencer rather than having to export then import into daw.

PERFECT drums!!
I owned Ruismaker FM previously, but thought I’d give the OG a shot because I actually prefer analog drums over FM. Best drum-related decision I’ve made yet. This drum synth is solid, surprisingly flexible for what it is (a large collection of preset engines for each percussion instrument that can be individually rearranged into drum kits and individually tweaked) and stable. I mean, it’s Bram Bos. Buy it.
