Le son est excellent 👌. ### 5/5 — Incredible organic synthesis! 🐠 *2023-07-08, version 1.1.1* Really enjoying exploring this wonderful synth! The interface is just so clean, intuitive and thoughtfully designed throughout. It’s unique sound path combines elements of both East and West coast synthesis techniques allowing you to explore a diverse range of sonic overtones, textures and nuances that have a lush, organic quality! Further, a series of circuit bent ‘nodes’ provide the ability to directly disrupt and mangle the signal path (without requiring a soldering iron) catering for real time performance, sound design workflows and sonic glitching - so awesome! ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-06-27* This is definitely a neato synth to tinker with. lots of potential ### 5/5 — Fun and Creative *2023-06-05* Bram, good work. I like this one. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2023-05-31, version 1.1.1* Another great synth from Bram Bos, very deep and unique! ### 5/5 — Super Fun and Experimental Joy *2023-05-14* Yes,Yes,Yes! Love this puppy… Hope Hilda has a sister : ) ### 5/5 — Dream Synth *2023-05-10, version 1.0.2* If you are partial to strange and dirty noises that make you screw up your face like you smelled your own farts, this is for you! An excellent analogue monophonic synth with endless morphing potential. This thing feels like a modern hardware synth as it growls and sputters some of the nastiest sounds I’ve ever squeezed out of my iPad. Love it, Bram Bos continues to be at the top of iOS App development. ### 5/5 — Killer synth but… *2023-05-10, version 1.0.2* I hate the updated knob response, can we have an option to keep the old knob response please? Love the sound. Love the layout. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2023-05-09* Update: latest firmware addressed the issue below. Upgraded to five stars. Excellent dev and experience. Job well done!! Fantastic app outside of one issue. Every time you load the app, you have to turn down the LPF, otherwise there’s a slight audible noise. No other app to my knowledge does this. **Developer response:** Hey there, what you're hearing is the Delay circuit. It's an emulation of a rather noisy delay chip (the PT2399, popular in lo-fi effect pedals), hence the noise you're hearing. In the next update I'll change the init-patch to be completely dry. ### 5/5 — Amazing Fun *2023-05-06* This is the most amazing fun I’ve had with a synth, very experimental while still being able to be incorporated into various genres. Thank you so much Bram Bos, I have almost all your apps and I think this one is my favorite thus far. ### 5/5 — Portable O-Coast Type Synth *2023-05-06* Very fun synth/effect app that has a feel similar to Make Noise’s O-Coast hardware synth. It has a nice mix of Moog and Buchla character and with the sequencer or drone mode you can easily lose an hour just fiddling. Delay reverb effect is old school and gives the app even more of a hardware feel. It plays nice with other music apps also. Another hit for this consistent developer! Thanks! ### 5/5 — MUST HAVE ❤️ *2023-05-06* Unique masterpiece of a virtual A/D synth! Better than Strega hardware 😂 100% recommended! ### 5/5 — Genius *2023-05-06, version 1.0* Another quality Bram Bos release. Top notch sound design and the usual Bram UI/UX makes everything visible and accessible on 1 page without being cluttered or confusing. If you’re looking for cutting edge ‘west coast’ synth sound design, then look no further. Absolutely stunning. Thank you Bram, the Legend. ### 5/5 — Super fun, lots to explore. *2023-05-05* 5 stars as always, Bram. My one early feedback is that it would be nice to swipe the performance pads to latch them. Which would then allow for more knob twiddling. I also had one instance where I toggled the sequencer off and it wouldn’t stop. Could have been user error. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sick but needs work *2023-06-18* This is the best monosynth app on iOS. Problem is recording the AU automations. They don’t record well, or properly. 5 star synth but I have to drop it two stars until it is fixed for recording automations. ### 1/5 — Unplayable on iPhone 12/Now Presets broke! *2023-05-25* Update broke presets. Deleted/reloaded app. No change. Can no longer access presets on my iPhone 12. What lousy test. Really sad. //\\ And that’s the last straw. Universal app my tooshie. I have not bought an Apple app in months because of continued decay of quality and this is the last one. It won’t play in the background using it as a Universal App. Seriously? It won’t save state even upon exit. The developer zoomed in for the iPhone photos, that’s deceptive. The pamphlet is NOT a manual. This is pathetic and it’s taken as good quality. Well for the iPhone 12 it’s a joke and the end of Apple App purchases. It’s just a waste of money. Goodbye. Deleted app. Happy Trails. **Developer response:** You can scroll the UI to access the presets. Obviously, the bigger the screen the better the experience. I can’t magically make your iPhone bigger. You can contact me via email if you want help sorting out the issues you’re running into. ### 2/5 — 某フォーラムで話題 *2023-06-12* 何故かしら大人気。 買ってみたけど要するに変な音が出るってのが話題なのかなと。 普通のVAシンセに飽き飽きしてる人にはオススメかもだがジャンルによってはまったく使いどころのないシンセ ### 4/5 — My favorite synth of all time *2023-05-19, version 1.0.2* From downright dirty, through colossal noise, this synth is my favorite noise maker. Easy to dial in great sounds and tweak in real time. Sounds amazing. ### 4/5 — Yayyyy ! *2023-05-17, version 1.0.2* Great job. I was a bit hesitant with no video but this is the real deal. Just lost an hour of my day ! 👍🏻 Please could we get Link ? ### 5/5 — Beautiful! *2025-02-23* This synth keeps on giving. Automation or manual change of the drone level is one of the many cool things… ### 5/5 — „Einfach“ gut *2025-02-08* Mein liebster digitaler Synth. Wild und verstörend 🔈 ### 5/5 — Deep and Unique *2025-01-27* 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! ### 5/5 — Magic subconscious creativity *2024-11-23* 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. ### 5/5 — So good *2024-02-16, version 1.2.2* Very very nice synth. Would love an A & B patch morphed like the Arturia Polybrute ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Potentiel énorme …incroyable et atypique *2024-01-03* Les sonorités sont incroyables et le potentiel créatif est illimité ! Les développeurs ont vraiment eu soucis d’innovation à travers ce synthétiseur. La partie control live performance a été également très bien pensé. Je recommande fortement ce synthétiseur parmi les meilleurs sur iOS ! Foncez vous le regretterez pas un instant ### 5/5 — Bos is a Boss *2023-11-12* Dig your apps man. ### 5/5 — Bram’s The Best *2023-11-12* Tried and True Developer who cares about his customers and products enough that he even provides free luxury updates. 10/10 ### 5/5 — One of the most amazing on iOS *2023-08-10* A wonderful mashup of perfectly matched features and amazing sound. I wish I could have a hardware version of this exact synth. Think about it Bram Bos! ### 5/5 — one of the best *2023-08-04* i've purchased nearly all Brams apps and not because i needed or wanted them. its because Bram Bos has created a beautiful simplicity that works in all his apps. this allows us all to do the thing we want to do when we open up a drum machine, synth or sequencer. it allows us to 'Play' Music cpu friendly, cracking sounds, simple operation and stable fun! worth every penny ; ) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
