Granular synthesis has always been a favorite of mine (I love Reason's Grain synth) and this breakdown of Novum has me serious considering buying myself a Father's Day present. Thanks for the amazing review. And side note, I was under the impression it was pronounced TAM-brr, not TIM-ber. Have I been saying it wrong this whole time?
@s1gns0fl1fe2 жыл бұрын
You are so welcome! Also, I looked it up - Webster claims you can pronounce it either way. It has French origins and can be pronounced with the TAM but may also be correctly pronounced just like the term for lumber.

@davidlincolnbrooks2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for this exploration, Chris. I'm loving NOVUM. I've already made some pretty bizarre soundscapes! The only thing I don't yet understand is, why different WAV's that you load create different colors in the 3D display and Timbre Flower, as well as those little dots representing each lane. For example, some WAV's that I load will create pink and purple displays... while others only yield white and pale yellow colors. Maybe it has something to do with the overtone content of your WAV? And what programming advantages exist for knowing what each color represents? Or maybe the colors don't mean anything... they're just eye candy? I won't lie to you: the Timbre Flower must be creating some extremely subtle variations of your waveform, because frankly, I'm not noticing a whole lot of difference between the various Flower dots that I click....(?) A viewer below refers to The Mangle and to Iris 2. To me, Novum is what those two synths "wished" they were... Novum takes their ideas to greater fruition...

Try dragging / copying the content folder that gets downloaded to somewhere you’ll want to keep it permanently. Once it’s there, open Novum and drag the folder from that new location onto Novum’s interface. Novum should then recognize where you have it located. Good luck!

I started with Traktion's Delta-V and was thoroughly confused with it. Next, I got Output's Portal and then some GlitchMachine VSTs. These were ok but definitely tough to use at all times. After that, I got Pigments that include some granulation features (granules?). I figured I had all I could stand with granular synthesis. Enter NOVUM. I think it has a great starting price and it definitely looks like something I'll need to get my hands on. Thanks for this review and demo!
