User reviews

Beautiful!

This synth keeps on giving. Automation or manual change of the drone level is one of the many cool things…

„Einfach“ gut

Mein liebster digitaler Synth. Wild und verstörend 🔈

Deep and Unique

I held back on getting Hilda because it wasn’t the kind of synth I was used to. Then I bought it, and it was true love, because it wasn’t the kind of synth I was used to, lol. Hilda will reward experimentation with sounds you’re not likely to get anywhere else!

Magic subconscious creativity

Resisted getting this for a long time, always skeptical of West Cost synthesis. Then they dropped the price and I’m glad I got it. Meditative and relaxing.

So good

Very very nice synth. Would love an A & B patch morphed like the Arturia Polybrute
