Relic Flow by Alexander Zolotov (Released)

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/relic-flow/id6499490810

Billions of unique lo-fi rhythms and drum loops from the depths of the Mathematical Universe. +AU

Relic Flow is a generator of Lo-Fi rhythms, noise patterns and drum loops based on unique synthesis algorithms from NightRadio.
More than 4 billion samples from the depths of the Mathematical Universe!

Features:

  • search for new sounds with three buttons: next random set, edit code, previous set; each set of 12 sounds corresponds to a code of 8 characters;
  • three types of keyboards for live performing: onscreen buttons, PC keyboard, MIDI input;
  • several processing parameters + control via
    MIDI;

  • real-time audio recording to WAV (32-bit);

  • export to: WAV (one file or a set), SunVox (samples + effects in one file), text clipboard;
  • the LCK button freezes individual samples - they will not change during the search for new sets;
  • iOS Audio Unit Extension (AUv3).

Double clicking on a parameter opens a window for setting the exact value.

If you enable the Hold option, the notes will play endlessly, without reacting to key release (noteOff) events; turning the note on again works like turning it off; there are two ways to enable this option:

1) using the Hold parameter in the "MIDI Mapping" window;
2) by pressing the HOLD button, which appears in place of LCK while playing the musical keyboard: press HOLD, release the desired notes - then the released notes will continue to play.

  • looks very cool! just watching this video demo now:

  • It's like Jamp Bleep, Relic Waves, Fractal Bits, and Axxon 3 had a bastard cyborg love child. Nightradio always delivers.

  • That was probably the quickest I’ve hit the buy button.. immediately after I read the description - lo-fi rhythms + drum loops.. what a brilliant addition to Relic Waves + Fractal Bits.. Thank you Alexander..

  • Only 4 billion rhythms!? 😥 Maybe I’ll be interested if/when it reaches a thousand billion..💀

    Seriously though, great app!! 🎹🎛🔊🌈🚀

  • These are such fun apps for feeding into Koala or your granular sampler of choice (for me, that's Fluss). I've been extracting rhythmic stuff from Relic Waves, but this is going to take that to another level . . . super cool.

  • This dude’s brain is operating at a higher frequency than most. Brilliant app as always

  • Bought, obviously. Price is ridiculous (cheap) as ever.

    Anyone have any YouTube videos that explain the intricacies of Alexander’s file system? I’m so dumb I end up saving over what I’ve already done. 😂

  • Anyone know what the Interp button is for?

    It’s not mentioned on the help page.

    I don’t hear any difference between Interp 0, 1, or 2

  • How is this different than Relic Waves? Seems like the controls are nearly the same and the types of sounds are approximately the same.

    Not going to complain since it’s a brilliant dev and only $2… but I’m thinking I must be missing some nuanced difference between the two.

    With the latest Relic Waves update, it too locks and plays sequences.

    I’m guessing there has to be a key difference that isn’t immediately obvious?

    It's supposed to designed to generate rhythms whereas Relic Waves is more about textures...RW can do beats if you find the right sounds and sequence them, but I think this is supposed to generate the rhythms for you but I could be wrong.

    It's interpolation and you can definitely hear the difference when playing the sounds at lower octaves :sunglasses:
    It becomes more 'grittier' with interpolation at 0 and 'smoother' with 1 or 2.
    (For fun set the BPM to 250 or as low as it can go and the Interp value will definitely be audible)

    In practice it's the 'Sampler Interpolation' value present in the SunVox Sampler Module.

    Ok 👍 cool 😎 I tried what you suggested and hear the difference. Significant actually thx 🙏

    Thx 🙏 I can tell the difference now. Relic Waves makes sequence patterns too, but it sounds like Relic Flow sequences are more generative in that they don’t seem to repeat the sequence.

    The Relic Wave sequences repeat and the Relic Flow sequences perpetually evolve.

    Cool 😎

    Cool 😎

    I'm so excited to play with this.

    I do find using a DAW on a computer to be so much faster and enjoyable than a DAW on ios but it's the wealth of creative tools that keeps me using my iPad...that and jamming DAWless in AUM with some hardware connected is just a sublime experience.

  • I love this series of apps—I bought all of them—but they sorely need per-sound tuning. This one needs it more than the rest. How can you jam in key if you can’t tune the sounds?

    Lumbeat eventually figured this out. Here’s hoping night radio eventually does too.

  • Ahhh! This is cool!
    I’ve been using relic waves to hunt for sounds with unusual rhythms to base song ideas on. It takes a long time to hunt for and lock down a full set of usable rhythms though.

    Not that doing that isn’t fun, but this is so much more direct. 😎👍🏼

    Me too, probably even faster than I hit it for Relic Waves! The bang per buck on these apps is crazy!

  • OMFG. Nightradio is the best!

  • This is cool. Did go unresponsive for me though in AUM. Also, would love some transport sync.

  • Nah, I think my instabuy speed beats all of you :#

    It doesn't seem to pick up the host tempo in AUM, but it can be set manually, and triggered with some piano roll AUv3 which helped with clock sync. Would be nice for a future update, though no complaints at this price!

    What an absolute bargain all his apps are.

    It’s always possible to export the stuff from Relic Flow (and Relic Waves and Fractal Bits) as a SunVox project and you’ll have full control over everything, like play all the 12 sounds across the entire keyboard polyphonically on separate midi-channels, change the envelopes per sound etc. as they are just SunVox Sampler modules. Familiarity with SunVox doesn’t hurt :sunglasses:

    This is very true. Ability to do this should be there in the AUv3 and standalone for sure

    In the video is he recording the sounds into a cassette recorder?

    Appears to be so.

    Agreed. And have fun like this chap is having here (one of the many possibilities)

    Doug demos every one of the 4 billion sounds:

  • edited May 4

    I'm happy to find that it is possible to sync Relic Flow to AUM manually - all this needs is:

    1. Manually matching the BPM
    2. Triggering Relic Flow via MIDI notes on the beat e.g. with Atom 2 or whatever.

    Because the Relic Flow notes are being triggered using MIDI notes e.g. every couple of bars, there isn't any time for Relic Flow clock to drift, which might happen with manual syncing without any host clock or Ableton Link syncing keeping things in time. I prefer to use it as a live instrument rather than as a sample generator, so it's good that sync is possible.

    I do wish there was some individual control of volume, and maybe some basic filtering/panning/compression for each sound, but would happily pay more for an app that offered that.

  • Changing the bpm doesn’t change already playing loops
