Borderlands Granular

iPhone is much hoped for…

At some point I realized that I’m carrying around a pretty advanced studio in my shirt pocket! I can make amazing music literally anywhere…

With Patterning now available, it’s getting insanely great. Borderlands would be a dream addition…

And glad to have Chris in the community!

Nothing to add just wanted to say thanks, Chris - this thread is absolutely fantastic & hugely appreciated!

thanks all very happy to answer questions and help in any way i can! someday soon i’ll get around to making a proper manual and set of tutorials.

If there were ever a music community more adept at assisting and contributing to documentation than lines, I haven’t heard of it.

Your empty file preset likely has the original default files sitting offscreen. Did you throw them offscreen rather than deleting them prior to saving your scene? Try opening that preset, toggling the “delete offscreen sounds” setting (main menu, gear icon, toggle…), and resaving the scene.

Thanks! This worked.
One thing in the main menu options is it’s not clear to those of us who are bit dyslexic which is chosen, or not, with the white circle L or R. I’m going to assume that to the R is selected, now.

You could create complicated scenes on an iPad with lots of automation / real time input processing, load em onto the iPhone, and plop it down on a table and use it like a little granular stompbox / aux send…

Love this idea.

I saw on your website a photo (I was hoping it was a video) of a performance of yours using 3 instances on Borderlands. I assume that this meant 3 iOS devices… Is there a multiple instance (for example in AUM) on one device possible in the future?

modulationindex · 2020-03-24T20:37:48.768Z

the L|R circle is just a single mode - it’s both L and R in that the grains alternate playback between left and right channels when that mode is selected.

lloydcole · 2020-03-24T20:40:43.624Z

Not what I was talking about. Apologies. I was attempting (failing) to discuss the selection system in the Settings and Info menu.

modulationindex · 2020-03-24T20:46:54.602Z

Ahhhhh yes. I’m relying on apple’s built in toggles there. I agree, it’s confusing. They recently changed the default look and feel of those for iOS 13. i’m still developing on older OS versions, but from what I remember it’s even uglier in iOS 13.

in the mean time, you are correct in assuming right is on!

This would be INSANE

i have the video of the final performance somewhere. i should upload it. it was indeed 3 separate ipads, but yes i would love to support multiinstance (and multichannel routing) in the future. i have no idea where to start with Auv3 support, but it seems that will be pretty important for the future of the app…

Just uploaded a track to soundcloud made only with Borderlands and some AU effects. Hope this is okay to post here!

modulationindex · 2020-04-17T20:45:46.048Z

absolutely! thanks for sharing. sounds really great!

casualdecay · 2020-04-17T22:50:52.832Z

And thank you for the incredible app! I say this with no exaggeration, my iPad with Borderlands is one of my favorite instruments.

Great atmosphere! The vocal sample is a very cool element!

modulationindex · 2020-04-27T17:22:50.055Z

thanks so much. means a lot!

Hello again!

Happy to share that Borderlands Granular Version 2.1.2 is available NOW as a free update for existing users. To celebrate the fact that it only took a couple months to get this one out there instead of 5 years, the app will be on sale for 25% off for a limited time. ⁣

This incremental update includes two lovely artist scenes from arovane! Other improvements include bluetooth headset / speaker compatibility, a fix for the inverted pan (oops!), smoothed ring mod amplitude param (removed zipper noise), improved scene browser resolution for iPad pro, and a higher drag threshold for clouds in ADSR mode to keep the cloud stationary when triggering the envelope. ⁣

Thanks for supporting the app! More to come soon. ⁣

Oh boy. Updating now, signing off!

instantjuggler · 2020-05-06T20:54:33.666Z

Thank you for this!!!

One thing I can’t figure out no matter how hard i try… how in the world do I get the sound to come out of my headphones??? I’m using AirPods connected to my iPad… i feel like I’m missing something really obvious here?
