Updated Review
Still great! This app is SO nicely implemented. Access to Files app coming soon? Not a dealbreaker by any means but would be more convenient. This already great app just got way greater!
Description
Touch, transform, and explore sound with granular synthesis, a technique involving the superposition of tiny fragments of sound, or “grains," to create complex, evolving timbres and textures.
“The best app for exploring sound just got better... This is 'go out and buy an iPad to run it' good stuff.“ -Peter Kirn, Create Digital Music
“Borderlands has floored us. It is very rare that we find an app that is not only fun to use, but extremely useful. It is truly inspiring. The interface is stunning, the sounds are so evocative: they're a film composer's dream.”
Paul Hepker and Mark Kilian, Film Composers (Tsotsi, Rendition, Eye in the Sky)
“It’s beautiful, it’s absolutely great. It goes in a completely new direction. I wish software companies would make more [programs] like that for the computer and not only for the iPad.”
Christian Fennesz, Experimental Musician. Interview from Tiny Mix Tapes, May 2014
“When I first saw the demo video for Borderlands Granular in 2012, my jaw hit the floor. My first thought was ‘THIS is what making music on an iPad should be.’”
Sean Garland, iOSMars.com
About
------------
Create, drag, and throw pulsing clouds of grains over a landscape of audio files, or use the built-in accelerometer to sculpt sound with gravity.
Borderlands comes ready to play with default sample content included, but you can also load and export your own sounds via Audiobus, Audioshare, and real time input from the mic or external audio interfaces. Re-sample recordings made within the app on-the-fly for layers-upon-layers of granulation.
You can also improvise alongside the app - touches and parameters may be recorded, looped, stored, and duplicated. Entire configurations of clouds, sounds, and automation can be saved into presets, or “scenes,” that may be recalled at a later time, allowing Borderlands to seamlessly transition between the studio and the stage.

Borderlands Granular Reviews
A REVELATION!
Fantastic, Otherworldly, Beautiful, Unique. My love and admiration for this app is boundless. Borderlands is a real instrument in the truest sense of the world.
endlessly wonderful. one request
i keep talking in love with this app over and over again. how about adding a "back to AUM" button? most of the ios apps i use have them and it reply helps with workflow. many thanks!
Composer Dream
Maybe i am subjective because it’s minimalistic but i can make tunes, patches, clips and sequences here. I can spend hours adjusting and enjoying composing. Folks give yourself pleasure and privilege of using such app. Instrument like this are rare by every mean. However, I will suggest that developer continue work with community and organize a bit tools inside app. Absolutely fantastic app!
AUv3 please!
Amazing App! Please consider AUv3 support
Muy buena
Puedes usar muchos parámetros que te permiten un gran sonido, ahora con el sync mode puedes poner hasta sonidos rítmicos, la app esta en otro nivel, altamente recomendada. Se recomienda tener AudioShare para importar sonidos, de lo contrario creo que solo puedes grabar desde la misma app. Seria bueno que permita acceder a la app de documentos.
Wow brilliant
Bravo
YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!
Just when I thought this app was on its way to extinction, a BRILLIANT new update drops! Thank you so much for this! There’s really nothing else quite like Borderlands on iOS. It’s a deep, fun, and tactile experience for sound design... And here’s a bold but true statement: It’s one of the most creative music tools ever made. It’s unexpected, fun and instantly gratifying — yet there’s a TON of useful functionality under the hood for serious musicians and sound designers to dig into. This is NOT another iOS toy. Borderlands truly is a modern instrument.
Finally!
This is the update we’ve been waiting for. Makes this app go from great to GREATER! The undisputed king of granular!
FANTASTIC UPDATE!
What was a great granular synth is now much better! Love this update! I’m looking forward to seeing what you do next. Keep up the great work!
