Hilda is a Complex Oscillator Monosynth, inspired by the most interesting aspects of both west-coast and east-coast synthesis techniques. You'll find a wave folder, lowpass gate, and audio-rate modulations, but also a 12-mode filter and traditional VCA circuit. All parts of the instrument are carefully circuit-modelled to sound as analog (or digital, where applicable) as possible. It's like a best-of-all-worlds semi modular synth, but without the patch cables. The unique mix of different synthesis components adds up to a unique sounding electronic instrument, which can be used as a playable synthesizer, a MIDI sequencer and an audio effect for external audio - or any combination of those three. - Full Audio Unit compatibility (AUv3 instrument, audio effect and MIDI processor modes supported) - Universal design (iPhone and iPad; iPad Air 2 or higher recommended) - Built-in analog style 16 Step MIDI Sequencer with custom scales - 12 mode filter, based on the Oberheim Xpander design - Drone mode lets you [partially] bypass the VCA/LPG and just go with the flow - DIY Lo-Fi digital delay circuit emulation - Live pads with effects that can be triggered via the UI (or via exposed AU Parameters) - All synth settings exposed a AU Parameters (for automation and MIDI learning in your host of choice) - MIDI Processor plugin mode disables synth to save CPU - Carefully handcrafted by yours truly, to capture the essence of my love for tinkering and experimenting with sound :-) Find the user manual on ruismaker.com
Bram’s The Best
Tried and True Developer who cares about his customers and products enough that he even provides free luxury updates. 10/10
One of the most amazing on iOS
A wonderful mashup of perfectly matched features and amazing sound. I wish I could have a hardware version of this exact synth. Think about it Bram Bos!
Sounds….
Some of the most beautiful sounds I’ve ever heard came from this device……
Fun
This is definitely a neato synth to tinker with. lots of potential
Sick but needs work
This is the best monosynth app on iOS. Problem is recording the AU automations. They don’t record well, or properly. 5 star synth but I have to drop it two stars until it is fixed for recording automations.
Fun and Creative
Bram, good work. I like this one.
Unplayable on iPhone 12/Now Presets broke!
Update broke presets. Deleted/reloaded app. No change. Can no longer access presets on my iPhone 12. What lousy test. Really sad. //\\ And that’s the last straw. Universal app my tooshie. I have not bought an Apple app in months because of continued decay of quality and this is the last one. It won’t play in the background using it as a Universal App. Seriously? It won’t save state even upon exit. The developer zoomed in for the iPhone photos, that’s deceptive. The pamphlet is NOT a manual. This is pathetic and it’s taken as good quality. Well for the iPhone 12 it’s a joke and the end of Apple App purchases. It’s just a waste of money. Goodbye. Deleted app. Happy Trails.
- rotation (left and right) in the sequencer - removed phantom-slide at large pitch jumps when glide is set to 0
