Independent audio software outfit fourtrack.fm LLC has released the v1.1 update for Ravemaker – Techno Beats on the iOS App Store. The biggest addition in this milestone deployment is the highly requested AUv3 support for paid users, allowing the groovebox to run directly inside mobile DAWs. Alongside the AUv3 capability, the update brings crucial bug fixes for the sample-and-hold LFO, sub-oscillator, and slider response times.
New in Version 1.1:
- AUv3 Plugin Support: Fully available for users with the Lifetime Unlock, with audio and MIDI separated and synced perfectly to host tempo and transport.
- Engine Fixes: Resolved underlying DSP issues with the sample-and-hold LFO and the sub-oscillator.
- UI Improvements: Fixed slider behavior for decay/release times and the bass mixer for smoother live parameter tweaking.
Ravemaker – Techno Beats intentionally scraps complex, multi-lane arrangement timelines to let mobile electronic musicians hyperfocus on dialing in a single, hard-hitting one-bar loop. Developed by a pro audio engineer, the app’s synthesizer and FX architecture is mathematically crafted in Faust and converted to C, while the sequencer engine itself is written in Rust. This specialized software design uses lookahead and lock-free queues to handle playback updates, guaranteeing ultra-stable performance under heavy, rapid-fire DSP loads.
The app beautifully bridges the gap between classic grooveboxes and modern digital flexibility by pairing a raw 303-style analog-modeled monosynth with a dedicated 4-sample 606-style drum machine. Every synthesis parameter remains fully controllable on a unified interface, supported by a 5-track internal utility mixer with global FX sends. While the base app is completely free to download and play standalone, a one-time “Lifetime Unlock” in-app purchase transforms the environment. Unlocking the app introduces custom sample swapping alongside premium temporal effects like Stereo Chorus, Tape Delay, and a gorgeous Lexicon-style Dattorro plate reverb. Users on Reddit praise the app’s unique combination of 303-style step sequencing and probabilistic Euclidean rhythms, highlighting its incredibly fast and fluid workflow for generating techno ideas. With AUv3 enabled, you can seamlessly host Ravemaker inside AUM for deep external routing. The sequencer engine itself provides surgical precision through micro-timing, custom velocity, probability, retriggering up to 4x at 1/64th divisions, and native Euclidean fills per channel row.
Key Features:
- Hyperfocused Loop Matrix: Tailor-made environment to craft, iterate, and refine high-energy 1-bar techno and acid loops without timeline clutter.
- Faust-Powered Analog Monosynth: High-fidelity 303-inspired synthesis core with raw sub-oscillators, sample-and-hold LFO modulation, and tweakable decay envelopes.
- Rust Sequencer Architecture: Built on lock-free update queues to guarantee ultra-stable clock performance and timing accuracy under heavy DSP loads.
- Advanced Rhythmic Sequencing: Access to algorithmic Euclidean pattern fills, structural note probability gating, and rapid 1/64th note ratcheting/retriggers.
- Premium Global FX Rack: Lifetime unlock adds custom-modeled Stereo Chorus, gritty Tape Delay, and high-density Dattorro plate reverb modules.
- Universal AUv3 & Sample Swapping: Paid unlock enables custom sample imports alongside full instrument/MIDI AUv3 routing inside iOS host environments.
App price: Free Download.
