    ( that’s not to say i wouldn’t like some more control for use in other environs )

    That’s a good tip, must try!

    I love Hilda like it is and I am very surprised that few days release after people want to add so more new features like an Hilda Pro 2, if you want so many things at least accept to pay the new Hilda you dream a fair price to support the dev as many don’t know how is it difficult to change things without an idea how many hours of work it is.

    I don’t write about real bugs fixes it ok as a apps is just released but dreams.

    Like me for sure there are many people that don’t want more features on Hilda only few bugs fixes, less is more for me as I am highly creative.

    I suggest to Bram to keep a version of Hilda with technical updates and improvements and if it s willing to add many more features to do a pre order for people who needs what they dream and make a high price for that. After all so many people on this forum want to pay 400 usd to have PianoTeq8 and no more than 20 usd to @brambos work, I think there are a problem ??

    Please guy don’t make all nice and good devs be fedup and leave ios because everyone want more and more and not paying a fair price. If I was iOS music dev , with my bad mood , I will tell you are able to pay 200 usd for your dream ? If not go to the hell and I will leave you alone with your dreams.

    Appreciate the sentiment, but it's ok: I know the drill. Most of the times when people make feature requests, it's because they're truly enthusiastic about the app. And I prefer that over indifference any day of the week B)

    And I guess people on this forum know by now that I'm very good at saying "NO". :D

    Indeed we do! And you’re well within your rights to do so!

    I’ve got, but don’t use the Matrix, but I guess something similar could be achieved with AUM.

    But, it’s a performance thing for me - if I’m going to be using it for live bending, I want all the switches in one place. Expressive squelches for the electro-jazz headz with no distractions. Just a double-tap to hold the touchplates would do the trick.

    Though the lfo nudges could provide the Strega-like surprises you mentioned, for less energetic performance.

    Oh by the way, the UI is now opening full screen for me in AUM on 12.9 inch where it wasn’t before. Wonder why, but I’m glad regardless!

  • pedropedro

    I shared a single patch file in my icloud, that "krell whales.hilda" above. Can someone test? It should open with hilda, if I done this correctly.
    Just want to know what my options are for sharing with friends, on forums, etc..

    All window management is done by the host, so you can thank Jonatan for that. I don't have much (if any) influence over how a host displays a plugin :)

    Preset Collection Project

    I'm going to start a Forum Preset Collection project, where anyone who wants to can contribute one (or a few) presets. I'll collect them and make a new Factory bank out of them in Hilda.

    More details will follow shortly (probably in a separate thread)!

    Another feature idea (not request!) - ability to lock certain parameters so they don’t get randomized when you press the randomise / modify / alter buttons. Like in the AudioThing or GS DSP apps!

    Even using an lfo, no matter what value the CC# is sending out, once you activate it for the tape delay touch plate, the patch will never get back to full speed, if my experiment just now is anything to go on

  • GavinskiGavinski

    I wonder Bram if the locking to multiples of the oscillators is a bit too tight. If I run two instances of Hilda and want one to desync just a tiny bit from a value like 1 or 0.5 or whatever, I find it very hard. It always jumps at a minimum value of about 0.16, no matter how carefully I try to drag it.

  • gkillmastergkillmaster

    I tried to figure this out on my own but can't. Using Hilda in AUM and an FX, the incoming audio volume is drastically reduced coming out of Hilda. I know I must be doing something wrong but I have ext turned up all the way as well as the mixer turned up and track volume up. Anyone else have this issue?

    Thanks!

    Is output volume ('out' on the righthand side of the synth) also up?

    Try setting the filter to bypass... it could be that the selected filter type has an impact on the output volume. Or perhaps the combination of the drone/amp settings. There are quite a few things between the ext input and the final output that can reduce the signal volume.

    I get it to open hilda but with the init preset. Same with this link and the dropbox one I posted before. But this on an iphone se 1st gen, so probably it’s its age showing. Gonna try with the ipad air2 later but I’m afraid I run pretty old hardware so I don’t want to waste your time.

    It would be great if you could overall revise the import/export features, because I suspect everyone is going to be wanting to share their own creations like crazy

    That's correct behavior. It only imports the preset(s) but doesn't automatically open it.

    Tonight I’m going to try controlling the touchplates with Rozeta XY. I’m hoping this will allow me to find the sweet spots of combinations of multiple touchplates, and to leave them running without having to be continually hands-on.

    Oh I see, so you say it should show in the user bank? That would be sensible but I don’t see it (I refreshed), but again: legacy hardware, don’t waste your time on this, and I’ll try again with ipad air2 later and report back

    That blutac idea is boss, I’ll be trying it out 🙌

    you is MOST welcome :) , a stretched out bit of Brillo pad can make a nice ‘vague’ connection too, which you can press on to make stronger momentarily... i’m trying to find some really tiny flat magnets that i bought , the sort used to hold an envelope shut , will be a better solution than the blutack in the long run i think.

    If you're looking for some sweet presets to work from in Hilda, check out DMT Cymatics.

    He is selling a pack of 31 nice presets for Hilda. He's going to be adding more and updating them. Another 20 are in the pipeline for the pack, included in your £2.99 at dreammusictemple.gumroad.com/l/Hilda

    Is there a demo? I looked but didn't see one.

    Sorry if I’m missing something obvious but is there a way to collapse the sequencer window when using it as an AUv3 in AUM?

    You can just resize the bottom edge of the window and it’ll slip out of view.

    Cool. Thanks!

    Double tap the top edge of an AU and it will either minimize, or maximize to fill the screen. Very useful tap!

    Ok I tried that but it still doesn’t achieve what I am trying to do.
    @bygjohn im trying to get the “synth” part to fill the screen so the dials etc are slightly bigger, but that doesn’t seem to happen.
    @brambos do you understand what I am trying to do?

    I understand, and it would be good. Also, although double tapping the top bar of an auv3 normally does open it full size, this is not what happens with Hilda, at least on my 12.9 inch ipad @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr - instead when I double tap, I still always need to manually adjust it to be able to see the entire Hilda interface.

    You can thank Apple for insisting on giving every Apple device a different aspect ratio these days (not even going into all the different plugin window sizes across hosts). Hilda's current dimensions are the best-common-denominator for any currently known device. Which means that on some devices you may need to do some manual adjustments if you want to see every pixel :)

    Strange — I‘m on iPad Pro M2 12.9 inch, and double tapping the top bar toggles to full screen display.

    Yes, it works on my end as well. But the plugin can only conform to what the host and device make available so on some devices you may just miss a sliver of the UI, even in fullscreen. On most devices it should work fine though :)

    yes, double tap and on second tap move to level of effect-u-like and it hilds ... er ... holds! :)
    +1 to that idea.
    though it would have to be a sprightly double tap or it’ll get in the way of this here ‘performative squelching’ you’re on about.
    all hail the Apematrix ( and apesoft in general , oops, bad form, rival dev thread :] ) .. if i use Aum it’s so that i don’t have to copy audio out of audioshare and can loop/layer them at different speeds , but i always end up piping the channels into ApeMatrix for the Lfos, quick & controllable feedback routing etc. if its synths n fx then ape is the Fast & Bulbous start sir..
    definitely had a VERY Strega thing going this morn by fixing that ‘slow down effect’ with an ape lfo , sort of emulating the very noisy point on Strega where the delay chip is down at it’s slowest .. but it’s definitely a looped effect so you have to touch that pad intermittently to let new Hilda grunts through.. quite staplebummish in parts..

    see post above, yes it sticks in a loop, obviously sampled, but you can touch to open it again.. the flange/bitshifts are ok though.. a flawed but interesting workaround no doubt..
