Borderlands Granular uses a technique called granular synthesis, which involves the superposition of tiny fragments of sound, or “grains," to create complex, evolving timbres and textures.

New version 2.1.2
Old version 2.1
Release Notes //2.1.2. improvements: -Bluetooth headphones / speaker support -New scenes from Arovane and Cristian Vogel -Panning inversion fixed! -Clouds resist tiny movements when ADSR is enabled (to prevent accidental drag while playing the trigger pad) -Ring mod amount param smoothed to remove zipper noise. -Scene browser extended to fill screen height on larger iPads -Randomize sound position button moved to settings menu to avoid accidental presses. ------------- New in 2.1 // Tempo sync -Ableton Link support. -New sync division (1/256 notes up to 4 bars), beat offset (triplet, dotted, etc), and sync phase parameters when beat sync is turned on for grain cloud. -Tap tempo control for beat synced grain clouds. //New Parameters -Semitone tuning option for grain clouds with 6 octave range (-36 to +36 st) -Grain trigger probability -Ring modulation -Vibrato amount ///Envelope Mode -ADSR envelope may be turned on and modified for each grain cloud. -A trigger pad appears inside the grain cloud and allows simultaneous envelope triggering and dragging of the cloud. //Automation updates -Sound file position, size, and rotation may now be automated with gesture recording. -“Ghost clouds” now appear for automated clouds when they are touched. Primary cloud stays stationary, making it easy to capture/edit clouds actively moving around the screen. Ghost cloud continues to move grains down the automation path, merging with the primary cloud when editing is complete and the cloud is no longer touched. - "Background touch modes” - touch screen background to activate ghost clouds for all automated grain clouds, second touch to pause all parameter automation, third touch to pause all position automation. -Global automation speed can be increased to 40x original speed. New automation speed is recorded relative to current global automation speed. //Input / Output changes -New “Waterfall” input mode streams audio in from right to left allowing for complex granular FX. Original looping mode is still an option and can be set per sound. -Files support allows easy access to the Borderlands documents directory. -Overdub level allows sound on sound realtime input recording -New audiobus trigger for adding input recordings. -------------------- Other Improvements -------------------- -Audiobus 3 support -Borderlands Presets and Artist Scenes section added to scenes browser with example content. -Longer max grain duration - 6 seconds. Older scenes will still load with 3 second max. -48 and 96 kHz sample rate options -Input can be monitored anytime, not just when audio is recording. -Realtime input buffers now use double buffering to reduce playhead conflicts with grain playback. -Tempo and automation speed values are now saved / loaded with scenes -Clouds can be rotated and moved simultaneously by touching and dragging with two fingers. -Cloud position can now be automated while cloud is in parameter edit mode. -Automated clouds only delete when full path is offscreen (i.e. no accidental deletion of clouds that have been automated) -Parameter automation begins playback on touch release. -Two finger touch of automated cloud pauses automation when cloud is not in edit mode. -Pitch, duration, vibrato, and volume now impact grains as they are playing (rather than being queued for the next grain), resulting in responsive, instantaneous parameter changes. -“Open blank” option in settings allows you to load blank workspace on launch -Drop folders of sounds into the documents directory. Folder becomes header in the recordings browser. -Switched keys to dark gray -Solo clouds by with mute button and cloud touch -Input recording from line in / mic is working again on iOS 12. -Gravity / cloud edge mode functionality now works when app is in the background -Fixed crash that could occur when deleting clouds while accelerometer is on. -Pan automation values now update properly. -Blank scene can now be saved without freezing the app

In the '80s it was the first to use a different approach to tonal adjustments. In conventional analog equalizers, whether they are shelving, sweepable, graphic or parametric types, various sections of the audio spectra are boosted or attenuated by adding or subtracting bandpasses. In this case, frequency shaping is achieved by summing bandpasses.

New version 2.5.3
Old version 2.5.2
Release Notes There are so many new features in v2.5.3, and I'm really excited for you to get your hands on it. There's still more that I want to add, but I needed to draw a line so I could get this long overdue update to you. First the big fun features: Basic Functions: You can now set the Time Signature from the main page and PolyNome will automatically fill the bar for you. This is helpful for creating basic metronome clicks. Shift/Randomise: The Shift/Randomise controller allows you to lock an action to the main screen. You can then randomise or shift the rhythm or sounds while playback is happening. You can have it perform the locked action automatically every x repeats. This allows you to create an ever changing groove or melody creator, or create random exercises or ear training challenges! Quick Polyrhythm Creation: Tap on the Preset name and choose "Create Polyrhythm" to quickly generate any polyrhythm in a number of ways. Playlist Linking: You can now add links to Playlists within other Playlists. This has many possibilities including a quick way to group playlists together for practice sessions or live performance. Playlist Soloing: You can select items from a playlist and solo them (with the new button in the Actions bar at the bottom). Only soloed items will play - allowing you to work on small sections of a Playlist very easily. Now the full list... Main Page: - Met1/Met2 have been renamed to Seq1 and Seq2 - Overlay Sounds have been renamed to Metronome - You can now swipe on longer patterns in the main window to see what's off the screen - Pinch to zoom on notation - Menus for Swing, Random Mute, Randomise have been revamped - New Sounds (808/909/John Bonham/etc. Voice for Push/Pull and more) - Improvements to Big Numbers display. This can now be turned on from the main menu. - BIG Improvements to the Mixer. A menu on the left allows you to narrow down which faders are visible, and you can now swipe on the body of the faders to scroll - In Preferences you can choose 2-10bpm for the steps it will jump when you long press +/- buttons - On iPad, the Library section can now be made full screen PLAYLISTS: - Count-ins will remain with the item they count in when shuffling a Playlist - Count-in tempo will be updated automatically when you change the tempo of the item it counts in - Playlist solo button allows you to only play back selected items - Link to other Playlists within a Playlist - Choose your button size (long press the Play button and use the slider to set size) - Improved "Tap To Start" functionality in Playlists (tap the Gear button and enable "Tap Tempo Start" to use it) PRACTICE LOG: - Multi-select in Practice Log event view for deleting multiple events at a time - Tap and hold a Practice Event to edit it I hope you enjoy these new features. Please get in touch at support@polynome.net if you have any questions or feedback, or find any bugs. And if you have time to leave an updated review, that's always appreciated. Thanks! Joe
