Richtig gut!

Eine richtig gut klingende FM Drum Machine mit vielen Einstellungsmöglichkeiten. Standalone und als AUV3 verwendbar. Ich nutze sie natürlich besonders gern mit unserem Drum Sequenzer OCTACHRON. Der hat auch gleich ausführliche MIDI Mapping Presets inklusive der CC Werte für Ruismaker und Ruismaker FM mit an Bord ✌️🎶😊

Creative Drums

Drum sounds here are created from synthesis, not samples, great way to create your own custom kits. foF those not used to creating drum sounds from scratch, there are a large number of useful presets to start from.
What really stands out though is the sequencer, which allows you to put a different number of steps on each of 8 tracks worth of drum sounds, so you can have different loop points and get very interesting polyrhythms, which you can make more interesting by adding some mutation variation to the sequences. you can multi out the separate parts in something like AUM, but it still works on good old IAA, and you also have the option of saving any loops as WAV files and exporting to the DAW or sampler of your choice.
Very good for people making techno, minimal, IDM, acid, but not limited to that

Bram’s Forgotten Stepchild

Dear Bram Bos, I hope this message finds you well. Your creativity and dedication to your work are truly commendable. Among your remarkable creations, Ruismaker FM holds a special place in the hearts of many users. As we progress into 2023, it would be a shame to see this gem of an app left out in the cold, like the proverbial red-headed stepchild.

If we could personify Ruismaker FM, it might be standing there with puppy-dog eyes, longing for the warmth and attention it truly deserves. We all know that every app, just like every child, has its own unique potential. By giving Ruismaker FM a little love and attention, you'll not only bring joy to its loyal users but also let the app shine bright and realize its full potential.

We eagerly look forward to the wonders you'll bring to this already amazing app, and I'm confident that with your touch of innovation, Ruismaker FM will continue to be a go-to app for many years to come. Thank you for your continuous efforts and for making a difference in the world of software development!"

Versatile drum synth w/ Euclidean seq

Great bread and butter sounds that can be tweaked into electro percs, zaps, blips, etc...

Euclidean seq is fun, took me a second to get used to it. Shift is your friend when trying to program basic breaks.

Mediocre at best.

What is the hype? I don’t get it.

Knobs value and size

While the machine itself sounds great, there are very bad issues with usability. Like all your apps, when you place finger first time on a contron knob, the current value is not shown, which is very bad as one cannot just check the value but has to move the knob ! Also, this movement is picked only after a while so the result is - you are moving the knob and changing the value AND you don’t know its original position. it’s very annoying. The size if controls also has to be adjusted they are just too small. I am telling all of this hoping you can fix it, because its sounds brilliant.

Intuitive, fun sequencer and great 80s sound

FM synthesis is not intuitive or straightforward, but Bram has written a great manual ( available on the website) that explains how to use the controls to get interesting sounds out of this app.

The Euclidean sequencer is great- I’ve been using it to make odd-time loops and Radiohead-style polyrhythms, and it is very straightforward to understand and fun to play with

I’m charmed. FM modulation. Sequencer.

So, very interesting synth and the main thing is that Ruismaker FM is simple. Why I chose this one? FM modulation is cool and fun. You will create drums, rhythmic bass and nice fxs. The sequencer is amazing inside Ruismaker FM.

Not Euclidean

Although it’s fun to tinker round with, this isn’t a Euclidean sequencer. The patterns just loop back to the beginning of the bar and introduce variation. A true Euclidean sequencer would be where you get a varying number of beats that are evenly spaced across the same bar length. Difficult to explain, but Patterning 2 is a good example of this. Still, the synthesis engine is good 👍

Lean and mean and hungry like the wolf.

This is the most immediately dope feel I’ve received from an app in awhile. 6 identical channels of audio mangling, ripping, flipping, smoking hot modded multiOSC FM ops. The perfect blend of rapid fire easily dialed creativity, on top of depths of sonic versatility, top notch audio fidelity, and breezy CPU simplicity. This bad mother will be your new first choice, all situation crushing app, when you need a modern EDM, industrial, glitch, etc percussion and FX, or when you just want to add a bit of signature secret sauce, causing a song to finally fulfill its epic destiny. Must have, drumming tool, no question.

For my money, this is the clutch Bos creation-even more so than Noir,p-which seems to be the BB app of note in most refined social circles. I’ve had the original Ruismaker for months now, as it was the first paid plug I bought after scoring my new iPad before the quarantine began. I’d been trapped in OG IAA iPhone mode for years: Gadget, Caustic, TriqTraq, etc. So I figured a drum synth would be a straightforward, useful tool for my first foray into AUv3 on iOS. Unfortunately, “drum synth” had me picturing Elastic or Seekbeats: vast depths of rhythmic tweakability...whereas the original RM is more in the vein of an 909. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice sounding little app at a great price! But it’s not gonna trash multiple romantic partnerships by turning you into a distant, knob twisting, pseudo-autistic. But RMFM? Yeah, it’ll wreck some homes if you’re not cautious.

Ignore The 1 Star Reviews

This app, like all the devs work, is a must have if your creating music in an iOS environment. Stable and worth it.

Solid and Useful.

Bram is clearly a musician himself. Every single instrument, effect, or anything this developer touches is iOS gold. This Ruismaker is no exception. Functional, USEFUL, AND more importantly in my opinion, loads of fun because of the ease of use and stability. Thank you Sir Bram for your over the top contributions to our hobbies, crafts, and for some like myself, a working part of my daily life. 10 Stars.

Nicely done! UPDATE

Multi-outs! Yes!

UPDATE: See Below!

Very nice app. Sounds great and easy to use.

Love this AUv3 & Standalone FM Drum Synth

This is such a great app for making all kinds of drum, percussion , and bassy sounds. Comes with some good presets but the real fun is to create or randomize your own kits. This app is a great way to get into synth sound creation. Basically all BramBos apps are awesome, and at $5 for this app you will not be disappointed.

Way tweakable sounds

It’s hard to get bored of the sounds you can coax out of this one. Better than the original ruismaker, but it takes more time to get the sounds you want and it only has 6 ch instead of 8. Beats the hell out of axon 2 anytime too

Really useful and simple

A simple to use and powerful FM drum app, great presets and tweaking is easy. The Euclidean sequencer makes for some really interesting rhythms.

RUISMAKER FM AWESOME.

Bought Rozeta suite and thought I would get this as well
It’s worth every penny.
Save to files folder from stand alone mode.
AUv3 so can use in Cubasis without any problems.
Create some great drum sounds, Kraftwerk type stuff, or more mellow beats.
Very impressed........5*****

Largely disappointed

Very limited synthesis possibilities. Just one oscillator and carrier per drum channel - no oscillator feedback, no lfos, and the reverb, the only effect, is on the master bus. Surely they could have at least implemented reverb send for each channel. What there is sounds pretty decent, but there isn’t much at all.

Großartig …

… wie alles von Bram Bos.

Inspiring and easy to use

Step outside of your normal grooves with the funky sequencer. Loving the fm percussion sounds as well, both for crazy zips and also regular sounds. You can also control parameters externally, so goooood 😍
