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.

Works needs an update

JerBae on

Switzerland

3 years that it has not been updated! Now on AUM it has a screen not at the right size on its horizontal axis and rounds are now ovals. Selecting sounds settings became impossible…

Big deception

ozsound on

Switzerland

Be aware that this app ONLY support AudioShare file import and is not optimized for ios13 files app, which is a tremendous flaw for this price, knowing that sound manipulation is the main purpose of this app. It’s like going to an expensive restaurant, enjoy the food but getting back home hungry. If your have your sounds on Dropbox or Cloud Drive be ready to kill space by having them twice and having to buy AudioShare on top.

Granular beauty

Amazing simple app with lot of synergy with other apps like Aum or Audiobus...

Braucht zusätzliche (bezahlte) Software

Fischer_from_CH on

Switzerland

Die App wäre an und für sich nicht schlecht, aber da kein Import ohne AudioShare möglich ist (kostet immerhin die Hälfte dieser App) gebe ich nur einzigen Stern. Das man mehr Geld bezahlen muss um alle Features nutzen zu können wird übrigens mit keinem Wort erwähnt. Ich fühle mich betrogen! Aja und aus irgendwelchen Gründen funktioniert Bluetooth Audio nicht in der App.

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!

A REVELATION!

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

United States

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.
