Hilda, New iOS Synth features The Most Interesting Aspects Of ‘West Coast’ And ‘East Coast’ Synthesis

15 May, 2023 Software Sequencers

Developer Bram Bos has introduced Hilda Synthesizer for iOS, a synth that inspired by the most interesting aspects of both West Coast and East Coast synthesis.

It features a wave folder, lowpass gate, and audio-rate modulations, but also a 12-mode filter and traditional VCA circuit.

Bos says that all parts of the instrument are carefully circuit-modeled to sound as analog (or digital, where applicable) as possible.
