Great implementation of the desktop program. Very good work by this developer.

Borderlands Granular has a reputation amongst the iOS music production community for being one of those 'must buy' apps like Samplr and the utility apps AudioShare & Audiobus. Just a piece of essential kit that you hear nothing but good things about. Granular is that in spades and it has become a favorite of mine to just experiment with, with no project or sound I'm chasing in mind. How would a Wurli sound? How about a bongo loop? There's just so much you can throw at Borderlands Granular and it will continue to amaze and surprise. I recommend it big time. Show more

In todays wonderful world of iOS music creation I am not looking for a simple recreation of the analog music world - I mean if I wanted to play a saxophone I’d play a saxophone! I want a new, exciting and different way to create music. I want to be able to do things I’ve never been able to do before and Borderlands Granular gives me that in every way imaginable! This app has some very well done YouTube videos to demonstrate what it is capable of. Of course you should expect to spend a bit of time figuring out what exactly you can do - although it’s not that hard to just start messing around with and coming up with an interesting outcome. You may not call your first explorations “music” but then again…. What IS music? Show more

I waited for ages to buy this, I guess I wasn't ready to behold this alien sound device of dreams! This thing is amaaaaazing!.

Borderlands is a great granular synthesizer. But given that it's entire purpose is to work with samples, the sample management options are frustratingly limited. In order to load a sample or save a recording from within Borderlands, one must use AudioShare, an additional $5 app. Thankfully Borderlands does support AudioBus, but that's quite a roundabout approach, because it requires a sample playback app, routed into borderlands for recording, then yet another app for recording the output from borderlands yet again. This is not ideal when working with long samples, nor is it ideal given notoriously unstable iOS app reliability when working with large samples in small device memory capacities, nor is it ideal when there may be any number of different sample rates or bit-depths between apps, resulting in questionable audio quality. Supporting an industry standard file management solution like Dropbox or even the freely available (and industry standard to a lesser extent) AudioCopy would cure a major headache. Show more

didn’t work for me. couldn't shut off the recording. couldn’t import.sorry. i deleted it .:-(

I normally do not write reviews, but this app is amazing. Read about it on CreateDigitalMusic and realized I had to have it. I actually purchased an iPad in part due to this. This app is so perfectly suited to the touch interface. I am not disappointed. Fantastic! Show more

This app is truly unique and so very easy to use. By far the best granular wave looper and modification tool on iOS. You just have to get it! It is playing in the background as I write this review. Could easily put me on another planet or induce any emotion or feeling. Simply great! Thank you for an excellent app!!! Show more

I love love LOVE this update.

You could by a $10 burger on your next lunch break, or a synth that will change your life... It's your call.

As someone creating different mediums of granular of synthesis, I have to say this app blows me away and inspires me so much, thank you!! If you're looking for a creative tool for grain synthesis look no further! Show more

If this app doesn't win all sorts of design awards and accolades, I'll be truly surprised. It's a fantastic app and the developer is a real class act. Goes out of his way to make sure you have the perfect interaction with his creation. Kudos! Show more

Anyone who buys a lot of apps knows the true definition of disappointment. Seldom do our expectations reach fruition. Until now. This app was always on the borderline of greatness, but now, with the ability to import, record, save, and mix with Audiobus, I have a new favorite. For years I was aware of the potential here. Now it's finally unlocked. Deep bow to the creators!!!!!! And thanks. Show more

Thanks for a great update to an already wonderful app - one of the top 5 music making apps in my arsenal!

It's like iOS music Christmas right now, Borderlands Granular audio import has been on my most anticipated features for this update.... and has gone far past that expectation. Audiobus and AudioShare really did it for me, but the filters were and record features make Borderlands something truly unique. I will be spending a lot of time with Borderlands in the days 2 come.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Sooooooo much for this awesome update! WoooHoooooWeeeee WoW Wow! This is one of THE coolest apps! Reader if you're a soundscape artist, this is a must have tool for your iOS! Show more

It's very much the same wonderful grain engine with better OS implementation for faster experimentation and easier workflow! Good stuff!

I rarely bother with reviews, however this app absolutely deserves the utmost respect so I'll dig deep and find the needed effort. Merging phenomenal sound with a brilliant interface, you'd be foolish not to purchase BG immediately. Show more

I've been hoping for a good way to import sounds and now you can do so through audio share and Dropbox! This was my biggest issue with the original version and I'm happy to say it's now a Five star app for any sound designer or experimental musician. Download it!! Show more
