    It actually seems like the app have some sort of movement capture lag, like if you move knob more than certain value (5-7) it will jump to that, and then you can change it normaly. So no way you are able to make just +-1 after taking finger off. Control is one the ios music cornerstones.. best implementation so far for me is drambo knobs, and fabfilter.

  • rvrrvr

    This is 100% your best device so far. And my vote for highest ios synth fun factor 2023 :) just fix those jittery knobs please o:)

    Ipad iphone ios15, 16, standalone and in hosts. Do this - put a knob to a value, lets say "50". Take finger off the screen. Then try to make it "51", or "49" , moving knob as slow as possible, and notice how the value changes. Can you make it go from 50 right to 51 witout jumping to +/-5 value? Can someone try this please? Thnank you

    Sorry to be annoying but can someone please check this one. I will write to support but maybe someone else can also confim. I have this issue with all BramBos apps, older ones like ruismaker etc

    Just tried this in standalone on iOS 15.7.1 (iPad 6), and if I set the resonance to 50, sliding my finger vertically takes it to 55, whereas I can go direct to 51 sliding horizontally. I suspect this may be the kind of behaviour @Gavinski mentioned, ie slide horizontally for fine control.

    Interesting but is a bit erratic on my device - sometimes it is working as you described, and yes, it a;ways manages smaller increments. But sometimes horizontal control is working strangely for me - when I press on, say, the feedback knob on top right, and drag right, the value is sometimes lowering instead of decreasing. And vice versa!

    I’ve had a further play, including within AUM, and haven’t managed to get the reversal. But it is a little unpredictable at times.

    It strikes me that there are a lot of variables here, eg different devices, differences in screen materials, differences in people’s fingers etc, as well as the software. Not an easy fix.

  • rvrrvr

    There is no horizontal control here

    Did you try someone else like your wife, children’s, friends to turn the knobs. I know what I ask you can feel silly but in my past dev experience I saw 3 or 4 times similar things with knobs that had a human factor on testing a software for touch screen device.

    The GUI of Hilda is like an industrial touch screen and Bram other app knob GUI could create that as other GUI apps are very different.

    Like Bram I was thinking how is it possible but it is as some person interact with the electrostatic effect of touch screen. If this is that it is easy to solve.

    There are always a solution for sure.

    Nobody else here at the moment. But, yes, lots of variables here as well as just the software aspect.

    If other apps can manage it, I'm sure it can be figured out and improvements implemented

    I will have a look at it. But since nobody has mentioned it for the past 7 years it's not at the top of the priority list B)

  • GrandbearGrandbear

    @rvr @Gavinski I think I know what you're referring to. Do you get the same behavior if you tap the knob, drag slightly to the right so that the knob is visible and then drag up/down?

    Good tip! That seems to work! Is this something that works with many apps?

    I know that’s pretty much the only way to use Square Synth 2

    I don't really know, I realized that I drag in a very gentle diagonal when I want to make small tweaks, maybe influenced by the Thor-like controls some apps implement. If I force myself to drag straight down or up then I do get what you described, both in terms of value display and sound.

    I can change the value with my finger as well with a Apple Pencil for a very precise 1-step. No problems at all.

    Thanks folks...
    @Gavinski
    Was app bug...
    Had tried restart etc.

    Not loading in apeMatrix or AUM on iPhone 6 ...
    Or iPad Air both iOS 12.5.7

    Good news, I've found an ancient iPod Touch from that same era, and indeed I can reproduce the issue (Hilda not loading).
    This will help me find a solution.

    I'm on it.

    Agree with all the praise here, wonderful stuff top to bottom.
    @brambos one request, would you consider having the sequencers lowest note position reflects the root note of the key rather than remaining as C?

  • martinjuenkemartinjuenke

    OMG, just jumped into this rabbit hole (and got Mononoke, Fluss and Mosaic as well). Bad weather can come...

    few custom patches … will do few more and in case there will be interest will share them - want build pack big/interesring enough to be shared :-))

    You set up high the level , great presets . I need to work more on my deep bass presets to compete with yours. I have created big deep sub waters bubbles but need to refine them.

    Will check that later. I do sometimes find it hard to dial things in accurately but I don't recall any jumping like that. My ideal implementation is always something like allowing vertical swipes to make larger changes and using horizontal swipes for finer changes. Really wish every app had that feature. Another option is long pressing for fine control, which is what Audiothing ended up implementing, but I find that doesn't work very well when using a mouse to control the app, as most youtubers do when making vids so the viewer can see what is happening!

    I prefer the implementations where the further you move your finger from the control as you move it, the finer the control becomes. I don't care much for the vertical / horizontal for normal / fine adjustment.

    It would be great to be able to control the fingerprints fx with the slope or lfo like we can with the tape control, i really dig that effect.

    @brambos would love one minor improvement in UI … i realised i get often lost in sequencer when i want to quikly change few speciffic steps .. if 1st, 5th, 9th and 13th step will be with slighly brither gray background, tha would be amazing .. especially during live jamming when you want do quick tweaks in melody this would be greatly helpful

    hope you know what i mean.

    second wish is absolute scifi and i can see how this never happens cause it would be hell a lot of work - but i ask - what about parameter locks ?

    • tap on sequencer led and hold
    • tweak knob
    • release led

    Now led will shine little bit even when playhead is not on it just to see there is parameter lock.p-locks would be appliead even of velocity is on zero cause vel is obviously related just to note.

    parameter lock overrides for that step any eventual modulation but ideally you do slight glide of parameters to avoid clicks..

    when holding step led - all onobs locked on that step will have little grey (or blue o whatever) ring around them to see which one re locked on which position

    to erase parameter lock:

    • hold led, double tap on locked knob

    This would move whole thing on completely new level, from “this is great synth” into area “what the actual fuck, mindblowing” - lot more complex patterns would be possible. I see huge potential here.

    Man can dream.

    This app is a dream come true for me, thanks Bram!

    Thanks @brambos for an amazing app, I made a video of how I used Hilda in the first day to create a moody ambient track, includes voiceover with my thoughts…

    Does nobody else feel that the tape stop effect releases a bit too quickly when you bring your finger off the screen? This was one of the first things I noticed and means I would probably prefer to use something like the tape stop effect in Reels where I have a lot more control.

    I like that idea of making it easier to find the 1st, 5th, 9th etc steps, would be super useful

    interesting - i found it exact opposide, honestly i admire how perfectly is timing of slow down/speed up balanced that it musically / rhythmically makes almost always perfect sense :)))

    That would visually lock us (again) in 4/4, I’m afraid.

    Yes, that is my hesitation indeed. The Buchla Easel has a 5 step sequencer for example, so why not add a 5 step marking as well?

    It becomes very arbitrary quickly - although I do recognize the advantage of some visual structure.
