New app Cryptozoologic by Fluxama (DR-OM, Noisemusick, Fluxly)

Looks like some more cool, noisy fun.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cryptozoologic/id1483355417

Description
Cryptozoologic is a collection of puzzling synths. A new instrument can seem like a puzzle, especially in the realm of modular electronic instruments. Cryptozoologic embraces this nature of synths and provides big and bizarre sounds once you figure out how to tease them out.

With the initial release you get three synths: Shempscape (bytebeat shufflebox), Nessie (rungle synth) and the Irish Yeti (Euclidean polyrhythms). Playing hints are provided in-app. You can also go deeper at cryptozoologic.org, which guides you through the backend of each synth.

Cryptozoologic is based on Fluxly technology, a musical physics looper where you create new instrument scenes by moving and spinning colorful Fluxum sound sample players. Cryptozoologic expands on Fluxly (fluxly.com), where the Fluxum controls can also be constrained as sliders, or act as inputs based on their on-screen coordinates.

More synths will be added to the app in the near future and the price will change to reflect that. We won't be doing in-app purchases so get in on the ground floor and get the value of being an early adopter.

Cryptozoologic can act as an Audiobus input.

    You had me at “bytebeat shufflebox”.

    I am wondering what exactly is a ‘rungle synth’.

    maybe this could shed some light: https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=92049&sid=f35a37a5aa1b409de5319628333ba286

    I remember seeing a rungler osc in reaktor blocks made by Michael Hetricks I think.

    Ah yes, very helpful.
    Thank you.
    Google just kept giving me stuff about jungle synths, or synths that are prominent in Jungle/DnB.
    The explanation in the linked post really makes me curious to get this app.

    @CracklePot Cheers! here's the actual document from the guy who wrote with some vids: https://thehordijkmodular.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-rungler-purpose-of-rungler-is-to.html

    Instant crash for me when you try opening this in audiobus. Anyone else having problems?

  • haulin_noteshaulin_notes

    Can’t wait to see a video demo. Sounds intriguing! 🤓👍

  • rottencatrottencat

    It opened for me without issue in Audiobus. Also in AUM. However, the inapp help refers to toggles and menus that I am not able to access. Like this:

  • reasOnereasOne

    Let’s hear it!

  • CracklePotCracklePot

    This app opens to a screen where you pick your synth model. It is probably safer to open the app first, then load into AB. Any app that opens to a ‘splash screen’ I usually try to open first, then load into AB (or AUM).
    This app was a bit fiddly when opening directly in AB, but once I switched to the app and got to a synth model, it worked fine.

    @rottencat
    I am not getting that missing icon bug on Air2. Your screen looks offset in that screenshot, compared to mine. I am guessing you have a larger screen iPad Pro?
    Here is how it looks on my device.

  • gusgranitegusgranite

    My boys love it. For me, I wish it could be tempo synced for easy loops.

  • rottencatrottencat

    Here’s a little of what it sounds like:

  • rottencatrottencat

    Ah! When I use it in landscape I get the bottom icons. @CracklePot: Thanks, your suggestion led me to this!

  • ProppaProppa

    Many thanks @rottencat

    Is there an internal Tempo setting?

    My glob! That sounds awful! And yet... I think I want it. :) I love the Fluxly app and their other noise makers as well. Does this one let you record into the spinning critters like Fluxly does?

    Whether useful or not... it definitely looks like at least $2.99 worth of Friday night fun.

    @skiphunt
    No recording here.
    This one uses different, and somewhat less-common synthesis techniques in the different modules. Except Irish Yeti, which uses instruments but is focused on Euclidean polyrhythms as its specialty.
    Fluxly was primarily a sample based app, so recording into those fluxums makes sense there.
    But this one is about weird synthesis techniques, from what I can tell. Maybe future modules will employ sampling.

    I may be wrong here, because it does ask for mic permission on first launch. I just haven’t come across anything indicating that you can record into any of the modules that exist right now.

  • haulin_noteshaulin_notes

    @rottencat Thanks for the video! Picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million.
    (lol at “annoy the neighbors”. I’ll be sure to have a subwoofer attached, to get a nice combination of screeching highs and rumbling lows! 😄)

    This sounds bizarrely cool. It might be the lost twin of Fractal Bits. Synth and drums from an alien galaxy.

  • rottencatrottencat

    So, with the physics engaged, I was able to get the Irish Yeti to fake some free jazz. I think I can hear Archie Shepp in there someplace.

  • rottencatrottencat

    @Proppa: one of the little furballs is for “speed” but there’s nothing like a setting for bpm.

  • ProppaProppa

    Thanks again @rottencat and last video suggests “Instant Penderecki” vibes .. Heavy.

    Cool. This will make for some nice abstract video soundtrack stuff I think

    Looks weird and fun. I think I'm in :)

    It’s SO good. For those looking to generate really out there wildcard audio magik it gets no better.

    That is the nuts !
    Completely on the wonk.

    Sold to me with that demo

  • skiphuntskiphunt

    Haven’t grabbed this yet...

    It looks fun to screw around in for a bit, but are all the sounds so harsh, sharp and abrasive as the samples in this thread?

    I don’t mind abrasive noisy sound, but can you also finagle more subtle nuanced sounds as well if you want?

  • barabajagalbarabajagal

    Yeah it’s basically a bit tuney, glitchy noisemaker. Here’s a wee track that shows it’s sonic mayhem capabilities! 👾

    There are currently three synths:

    • Nessie is a take on Rob Hordijk‘s Rungler, for which there are many examples online. Never got mine to sound anything but in your face.
    • Irish Yeti generates polyrhythms with little control over sound. Not subtle either.
    • Shemscape sounds like a corrupted register read-out fed into a defect oscillator. But it gets reverb!

    In short, nope, neither subtle nor nuanced.

  • skiphuntskiphunt

    @barabajagal thanks! That’s a fun piece :)

    @Philandering_Bastard thanks, yeah... I think I have plenty of the more subtle sounds. And, I’ve found that these ultra sharp noisy sounds tend to make great source fed into effects chains... kinda like BitWiz is

    Shemscape sounds indeed very much like BitWiz.

  • skiphuntskiphunt

    Love this :) and you can wrangle more smooth sounds out of the Irish yeti one.
