Beyond my own selfish musical interest, and from the perspective of the front end, this is a truly elegant piece of software design. Beautiful work.
@Chris, respect for your post! Bought ;-)
Wow, what an amazing update...don't think I can resist this one...
Reeeeespect
Good job, dad! A beer awaits you in Berkeley, as well.
Looking forward to some videos showing it's usefulness. The old ones just never gave me any desire . It sounds like this update might make me consider.
where the heck is Matt Celetti when you need him, he and Dougs videos go great together!
I just found this and I think I am sold although tutorials really should have been done for it.
Almost ready to buy , I can't believe I waited this long!
@Tritonman don't be too hasty you mad fool you...
I did a nice thing with it last night - loaded a vocal sample and put a few of the control circles (I know, but I don't know what they're called look) over it and played them at different rhythms and pitches. It produced a spacey acapella thing, quite lovely.
Two requests: I'd like handles on the end of the imported samples so I can trim them and stop the screen getting cluttered, and an option to type in the pitch so I can accurately create harmonies. Many thanks.
I do really like this (as enthusiastically indicated) but through my blundering I find it hit or miss. With some samples I am immediately off and in a creative place, whereas half an hour later I try something else, it clunks and clanks, and I find myself frustrated at not being able to find a groove of any kind....this is partial user incompetence, but also the nature of the app I'm sure. I am cutting down the time I will spend experimenting with a sample; if it doesn't begin to click in to something interesting, move on.
I agree, it can be hit and miss. Yesterday I loaded a couple of samples and despite half an hour of tinkering, couldn't come up with anything interesting. Sounded rubbish to be honest and I started having second thoughts about the app. Then opened it last night with the vocal sample and it was superb, heavenly.
I think it's just going to take a bit of practice to learn how to get the best out of it. So far I've found vocal samples and Frippertronic style guitaring are working best - less successful seem to be rhythmic samples.

We are obviously dopplegangers, perhaps even the same person, one who left Britain behind and the other who stayed. Please remember to take out the garbage in case I forget and, dinner-wise, the kid said he wants pepperoni.
I found it hit or miss depending on what i fed it but last night i zoomed right in about as much as i could on the wav and started from that and loaded about four grainclouds, got a whole soundscape from several ms of of a waveform, that kinda blew my mind.
Without a doubt this is the music App to impress those friends that have not been initiated into the joy/addiction of iOS music and If anyone should feel brave enough to ask the developer Chris Carlson what he has up his sleeve for his next App, you will have my full support. the man is so clever and original that should he decide to write a children's bedtime book as his next project I will buy it sight unseen, of course I am attempting to be playfully jocular but I do seriously wonder how anyone could follow up borderlands granular without it being a bit of a let down. for now I am so very thankful that Chris Carlson's imagination has created such a wonderful tool, in fact I feel irrationally sympathetic towards any future developers as it must be intimidating following the incredibly high standard set by borderlands granular.
Well said @banjofran. There's no question it's druggy even for us straight kids.
I am getting used to it! I use PPG WG and StepPolyArp to create sequence to feed it. I have come up with some changing tone that I am quite satisfied through ABus. I felt one of the most important things is how you control your patterns from Borderlands!
I did that last night too - zoomed right in to a sample - amazing sounds. Plus this seemed to be the only app that worked flawlessly on my iPad Air 2 yesterday.
From watching demo videos, One thing that I noticed is the circle moving with those spikes from recorded sequence! I follow it with the above mentioned! Try! Good on you!
BTW, I keep the X,Y square at almost minimum!
I did a spacey thing in Borderlands last night, plus a bit of Dedalus:
Good and odd six minutes.
I like the progress or semblance of control or lucky mastery/dominion you're getting with Bordlerlands. I have been able to get some absolutely lovely bits but nothing that isn't interrupted by the inappropriate farting of surging clicks or whooshes after about thirty seconds. All user blindness not app-tech related...
I had my nose broken in/on Radnor Forest once. By an enthusiastic girl with an unidentified flying object (later identified as a hobnailed walking boot). Camped all across Wales as a boy, not always the most comfortable of experiences, but good memories now. Of course.
But today isn’t the 29th of March.
Thanks, it's two takes from live Borderlands fiddling, and a third track via Dedalus. Not really a song to whistle along to but good fun to make. I had some old guitar and vocal samples, plus a couple of loops recorded from Thor, and I flipped these around live in Borderlands.
I used to live in a remote cottage overlooking the forest and we'd regularly see amber 'orbs' dancing over the tops of the hills, persued by the occasional unmarked helicopter. Strange things happening in that forest, Johnny...
I bought the app on a whim based on the great review by thesoundtestroom and others. I haven't been able to make it do anything really that sounds great, and I'm not sure I have the patience for it. Is there a setting for BPM so I can create samples that I can then import into something more meaningful and easier to perform with?
I'm thinking a couple of samples into Samplr then mixed with some percussion might go really well. I might have to trim the sample before using it.
I feel you on the bpm, but the above sounds like a recipe for potential loveliness.
If it's of any solace, I find this app fabulous, but also perhaps the most hit and miss piece of kit I have. Would recommend you take a read through the other posts, some folks have some tips and tricks there....be lucky.
Yeah if you create a few rhythmic samples and play them at normal pitch you should be able to keep the beat steady. It's tricky though, so I tend to use it for soundscapes and other apps for the rhythm tracks.
