    Indeed. I enjoy coming up with whacko patches, but I honestly never find a use for them. After my follow-up session with Hilda making "tame" patches, my fondness for it increased several-fold. Once you understand the layout, it's a terrifically fun and convenient place to make traditional synth sounds but spice them up subtly or terribly, and give them breath and life. Hilda is one of my favorite's for sure, even more so now.

    Could you maybe demo or share some of the tame patches?

    Sorry ... Didn't keep 'em. Just had my fun and moved on.

    I have a similar experience. It’s so so fast and intuitive to make patches in Hilda I barely bother to save presets anymore.

    @wim - you inspired me to get my tame on…

    Hey @brambos. I was just using Hilda in a piece when i stumbled on a potential workflow problem.

    The synth doesn’t seem to display the name of the currently loaded patch anywhere - it doesn’t even highlight the currently loaded preset name when the presets interface is opened. Is this correct or am i missing something?

    So, I’m using one of my own presets, but i don’t remember which one and the synth doesn’t tell me anywhere?

    Could this be a feature request please? It’d be really useful, even if it’s only displayed in the presets dialog. Cheers.

    Just bumping my own question in case it’s been missed? @brambos?

    Hi, yes this is expected behaviour. Many synths work this way, because a preset is just a snapshot or starting point saved in a file, and once you start tweaking the original name is not remembered in the saved state in a host. It just remembers the settings of all the knobs and sliders.

    Hey, @brambos , same problem in Hummerhead after the last update - last selected preset name doesn't highlight after closing and re-opening Preset Manager. In a long list of presets this behavior is confusing.

    Thanks @brambos. Just to be sure we’re not misunderstanding each other, i was simply asking why the currently selected preset name isn’t displayed or highlighted anywhere when it’s loaded?

    If, for example, i load a preset, mess around with the settings but then decide i want to get rid of my changes and load the original preset again. This shouldn’t be a problem, except when i can’t remember the name of the preset i initially loaded?

    In Mononoke, the last selected preset stays highlighted in the presets list so I’m able to know which one i loaded but this doesn’t happen in Hilda.

    Sorry for being a pain @brambos, but just wanted to make sure you saw my last post as I’m not sure from your last reply you understood what i was getting at with my initial enquiry, especially after @Agatha_aga confirmed that there is the same problem in Hammerhead?

    Ah.. thanks for clarifying. I get the issue now. That might be easier to fix. I'll have a look.

    For some context; the reason it's losing the focus highlight is because the presets window is actually showing you a bunch of file-folders. Every time you open the preset window it rescans all the folder contents to see if new files have been added or removed. The list then automatically refreshes and forgets what was highlighted.

    i bought a new iPad and want to transfer my Hilda patches across (preferably in their existing folders), can someone please explain how?

    I clicked the "export all presets" button and now have the individual patches all in the On My iPad/Hilda/Backup folder...do I have to click each one to load it in Hilda? :# Hopefully not as there's a lot and I can't see how to re-categorise them into folders from the Hilda file browser

    thanks for any help :)

    You can simply send the zipfile that was exported from Hilda (or make your own). It will retain the folder structure inside the zipfile.

    If you don’t put folders in your zipfile the patches will go into the root folder of your user patches in Hilda.

    To me it seems like there is always a bit of pitch glide happening, even if I turn glide to zero. Otherwise I love Hilda, even more so the Music Easel Edition, but I just can´t stand that phantom glide. Am I the only one hallucinating this or is this a thing? And if so, can anything be done about it?

    Yes I noticed that as well, it never goes to zero, would love it if I can turn it off when needed.

    Ok, so I´m not the only one. :smile:

    It’s gone now when glide is set to 0

    Thank you so much!
    But...
    ...that only works in the standalone version.
    When using Hilda in AUM there´s still no escaping the glide.
    Would be fantastic if that were fixed!
    Best

    No it should work everywhere because I changed the plugin, not the standalone. Are you sure you set it all the way to zero?

    Yes, there´s still glide when using Hilda in AUM, even when it´s set to zero. What works is sequencing Hilda in AUM with another instance of Hilda, no glide then.
    Also, mine is the slowest reaction time in this forum, sorry.

    Do you hear it when using the internal sequencer only then? How subtle is it? I can't detect it all

    @Grandbear You can have a listen here:

    Yeah, that's pretty clear. How are you sequencing it? This is the default patch with glide turned down, right? I can't reproduce it so I wonder what's different (and why sequencing it externally would make a difference)

  • geezgeez

    @Grandbear In the video, I use Hilda´s internal sequencer. When sequenced externally, there´s no glide when the glide knob is 0. It´s a bit inconvenient, but I´m happy there´s a solution.

    Got it, I though that there was external input along with the internal sequence, I can't reproduce the sound you're getting at all, it's really interesting. I'll try in AUM next.

    Edit: same result in AUM, I don't hear glide or what sound like double notes in your video me, I don't get what's going on

  • geezgeez

    @Grandbear Yes, Bram also could not reproduce it, it seems my iPad is unique...
    I guess I will just use the workaround and stop complaining here.
    :smile:

    I’ll bump this thread to praise Hilda, one of my favorite standalone apps to play with to find and store sequence/patch combos. Complex but I still find it quite relaxing to tweak. Bonus jam with the fingerprints once you are done.

    Also, It took me about 60 presets, but I just noticed the labels of the Wholetone and Octatonic scale modes are switched? @brambos
