bear in mind those are just my personal opinions, affected by myvpeeaonal workflow:
why cubasis not for live jam
why cubasis not for production
As much as i wouls like to use Cubasis because of it’s multicore support, those things are for me showstopper.
glad to gear it, that was my purpose to help decide people who are on the fence :-) it’s really worth the money.
Look here:
I spent hours to use it and it push up my creativity and directly I am working on 2 ambient and House tracks. Any crashes so far.
I am not focused now on tech or a whish list I create music now this is what Hilda is for creating music. I record on NS2 and Cubasis 3.5 as like for most of the plug-ins GarageBand is not a good AU host (that’s Apple). I use AUM if my imagination need it too. Daw are just tools. They don’t create music.
The manual is a good start but you need to use Hilda a lot to find function that are hidden. More you use it much you go deeper.
Yes I know I use synth and apps primarily to make music 😂 . When you twist a knob no parameter that don’t stop me I prefer blind and using my ear. Hilda is not perfect and I love it as it is as I can create music and sounds incredible good and inspiring.
My only whish list will be to have the image of shape of osc waves changing when I turn the knobs but it on the whishlist of many of you so nothing new.
Hilda learn me something, I forget about Worflow , I forget about anything and I create madly focus on the great deep sound of Hilda.
Now forget about tech and be only creative deeper you go in Hilda deeper you will discover more and more and hidden gems and functionality as Hilda is simple to use but far more complex that you think.
Before saying , I want that, that …. After using it for 5 minutes or 1 hour , use it at leat 20 hours , close your eyes sometimes to ear the inspiring sounds you create. As someone say Bram created first the synth for himself , the synth is so great because of that and it fill the gap in iOS.
It seems to me that many people here buy synth just for the tech not to create , in iOS we have the chance to have wonderful different synth and many create nothing. My life was all about creating first as a dev I create algorithms that many of you use in their everyday life and now that I don’t work anymore so now first I create my music for myself and sometimes to share it with you.
Oh yeah I’m loving this …

Warning :gets a bit loud
The thing with Hilda is that it isn’t shomething that you can’t do with Audulus or Mirack (in fact, I have some patches in Audulus where the signal and modulations are similar, but with more complex routing) but it is fun precisely for this limitation.
Maybe I’ll use Hilda as a subtle Au fx or a layer under other layers.
The sound and capabilities of 0-coast/Strega are miles and miles away. But it is wonderful have this on iOS
AUM is just soooo flexible. It’s very easy to reload your FX chains. It handles midi FX better than any other host, as far as I know, and yes you can record any channel or you can buss your channels to a master buss etc and record just that. But, no inbuilt automation, which is a major disadvantage. Though you can maybe use something like Atom2 for that. No master overview of all the mixer channels on just one small screen, which is a pain point for many. You can use the 4Pockets Midi Mixer app to do that though, or that new 4Pockets app. AUM is not as good for modulation as apeMatrix, which has an inbuilt high resolution midi lfo system (means that unlike regular midi it doesn’t break things into just 128 steps, so better for doing, say, very very smooth automated filter sweeps.
AUM or apeMatrix are good for people who like doing live jams, sound design, weird ambient stuff etc. Cubasis is probably a better choice if you like making more traditional, linear stuff.
+1, definitely, well spotted
Super and in GB
Yup…any bugs I had earlier disappeared when I ignored the presets and just started doing stuff from the init patch … played it using the onscreen keyboard on my phone, really responsive, no lag or anything , then I started tweaking the sound. It’s WAY more versatile than even I anticipated!
Why would that be a problem? The capabilities between synth and effect are identical, except in FX you can have external input. I don’t think there’s any issue when they’re used interchangeably?
Just so you can find presets where you are just using the delay and filter, for example, easily? Without having to add anything to the name to remind yourself? I think it would actually maybe be useful to have several submenus in presets:
Drones
Sequences
Keyboard
FX only
Mixed
Or a tagging system, where you could tag things. Leads, basses, modulated LP filter, etc
Again, I guess this can all be done with using your own naming conventions
YES !! YES !!!!
Actuslly this is not that impossible, with Teensy is quite realistic to do such thing :-)
Agree with all this. I’ve never used apeMatrix but it does seem great.
Haha.. yes... well, it was designed to be the hardware semimodular I'd love to own. With some minor tweaks I suppose it should be possible to hardwarificate this design pretty much 1:1
I could do the software bits, but the for making the hardware I'd be out of my depth pretty quickly
Bram! Fantastisch..!!!
very true, but i have a feeling your new beastie will have people generating a MASSIVE amount of presets for it and having more than one User preset folder would become a bit of a necessity, or is that already possible?
I prefer tags than folders , I can imagine that we all share some of our presets too or send them to @brambos to had the best ones as factory presets.
As Hilda is a great presets building factory too it is something to think 🤔
Some time ago we had a Forum Presets Project for Ripplemaker (they're now part of the factory presets).
We could do something like that for Hilda if people are interested in contributing a preset or two?
That sounds excellent! I’ve made a dozen or more already.
Interested
Both this and Strega are great and definitely share some similarities, mostly in terms of signal flow, but the parts themselves are a little different (as far as I can tell)
The oscillator in Strega is a bit simpler, a single ‘tone’ control that covers both timbre/shape, and folding, as opposed to Hilda’s three discrete controls. Hilda also has control over the sub ratio which would be a really good touch on the Strega tbh
I think Strega has a modulation source that isn’t on Hilda, a mysterious kinda random one that can be patched, dialled, or touched into several places. I might be wrong on that, but Hilda has the extra effects as more than compromise…
The main difference is the delay, on Hilda it’s definitely an effect, a very strong and lovely effect to be sure, but it’s not integrated directly into the sound in the way it is in Strega. For instance, the filter comes after it on the Strega, so it kinda gets squished into the sound in a different way (Though I wish it were a tilt type one rather than just a low pass tbh). Also, when you dial the time down past the ten o clock position in the Strega, there’s some sort of extreme feedback of noise that really builds a character I’ve not heard anywhere else - I’ve been experimenting with an old bed delay unit I’ve had for donkeys, feeding it back in itself and it’s got close but not anywhere near as interesting yet…
They’re both great, and thanks to this getting trailed the last few weeks, I’ve made some time to get deeper into the Strega as it was lying in a slightly embarrassing state of I’m not quite sure about it yet, but now I am 😀
A couple of podcasts that inspired me as a budding instrument maker to get a Strega in order to decipher and influence me…

Heck yeah!
i’m in !
Not loading in apeMatrix or AUM on iPhone 6 ...
Or iPad Air both iOS 12.5.7
Try restarting your device, that's definitely an ios bug and nothing to do with Hilda itself, for sure. > @id_23 said:
I prefer user-named folders personally, multiple tags just gets messy IMHO, and most of my presets won’t fit under standard terms like ‘bass’.
I can manage user-named folders. It not a problem.
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
I've done very usable ones already I'm in too
I have yet tested on IPad 4 iOS 16 latest one only for Hilda and inside Cubasis, NS2 , stand alone and even GB only this morning for GB (europe time zone ) an I can’t reproduce your problems.
Other members of the forum with ios15 and other IPad can try .
