    • @s1gns0fl1fe
      @s1gns0fl1fe  2 роки тому

      Yes, similar but the fact alone that NOVUM can separate single pieces of audio into 6 distinct layers using algorithms that were based on artificial intelligence is quite unique. I also sounds very different. Your mileage may vary! Link for NOVUM in description. Cheers!

  • @nuuality
    @nuuality Місяць тому

    I own Novum a few days now and, maybe it's a totally different problem but how can I work with my own samples so that they fit in my scale I work in. Maybe it's like an "outing" but how do I get my samples the way that I can play chords with it?
    It's difficult to explain and as said before it's not really a Novum problem, more a overall problem... if anyone can help me figuring out where to start would be very helpful.
    I like to add that I know music theory basics butwhen it comes to drag a sample in it and adding it to the scale I work in, I feel like a noob.
    Thanks in advance to the people who like to help

    • @s1gns0fl1fe
      @s1gns0fl1fe  Місяць тому +1

      NOVUM isn't easy to work with, especially with chords. Go through some of the presets and see if you can find an example of a chord friendly patch. Perhaps using it for what it is good at (textures, granular patches) and then using another synth for chords might be the better option.

    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?

    • @s1gns0fl1fe
      @s1gns0fl1fe  2 роки тому

      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.

  • @davidlincolnbrooks
    @davidlincolnbrooks 2 роки тому

    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!
