LH Rubbing is a polyphony synthesizer app for iPad running on iOS 9.3 or later. It sounds very analog. There are three wave oscillators, one noise oscillator, two LFOs and one three type embedded filter (low-pass, hi-pass and bandpass). Each wave oscillator can generate three kinds of waveform which are triangle, square and saw wave. LFO can be attached to different modul for different modulation or control such as OSC Pitch, PW, Filter Cutoff Frequency, Filter Resonance and OSC Output Mixing. The frequency and amplitude of the 1st LFO can be modified by the 2nd LFO. Pitch, Filter Cutoff Frequency and Resonance can be controlled by the ADSR envelope generator. The Keyboard Rubbing brings up vibrato while control the vibrato rate and depth.

Oscidia is an AUv3 plugin for iOS which can be loaded into your favorite DAW allowing you to use it as a sound source for any MIDI source. Its wide range of features and oscillator types allow it to produce a vast variety of sounds. In particular, the inclusion of WaveTable greatly expands the traditional wave types and brings a wealth of modulation options. Oscidia has 3 oscillators per voice, and each oscillator can be a different wavetable – all working and morphing together to create some incredibly amazing sounds. Oscidia includes SINE, SAW, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, SUPERSAW, SUPERSQUARE, WAVETABLE and ADDITIVE wave types. You can import and export compatible wavetables using drag and drop directly to the WaveTable manager. Wavetables support morphing and warping (phase distortion), all controlled by the Mod Matrix routing. The SINE and TRIANGLE wave types both support several wave folding modes which allow dramatic real-time morphing too. Oscidia also supports 5 filter types which support 12/24dB modes and morphable LP/BP/HP filter modes which can be automated from the Mod Matrix or via the Sequencer. The sequencer itself is very unique and allows up to 3 simultaneous ARPs to play at the same time. Each ARP can directly control the 3 oscillator levels independently per step, as well as the pitch, filter morph, cutoff frequency, probability, gate, note repeat and ties. This allows for some really complex rhythms to be created that are not tied to pitch. Oscidia Features: • 3 Oscillators Per Voice. • Support for Wavetable and Additive synthesis. • WaveTable supports Morph and Warp (Phase Distortion) features. • 4 LFOs Per Voice. • 5 Filter types with 12/24-bit slopes and morphable LP/BP/HP. • 4 ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release ) or FEG (Fluid Envelope Generators). • Wave Folding is available for basic waveforms such as SINE and TRIANGLE. • OSC Sync. • XMod & Ring Mod (on osc1 & osc2). • Additive Synthesis for glass, metallic and bell like tones. • Build in Sequencer (with 3 independent ARPs). • Mod Matrix. • MPE Mode. • Internal Effects - reverb, delay, chorus, Haas, and Phaser effects. • Drag and Drop for import and export presets and wavetables. • Build in Help Manual.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: LH Rubbing at Free against Oscidia's $14.99. LH Rubbing also leads on iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13). Oscidia's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 26 months). On ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
