Granular Synthesis Redefined – Sound as Color
The Tracktion Novum introduces a revolutionary approach to granular synthesis, inspired by the concept that sound is color. Unlike traditional samplers, which treat samples as static recordings, Novum's cutting-edge decomposition algorithm extracts and separates a sample into up to six independent layers. Each layer represents a unique sonic element—timbre, pitch, time, and spectral content—allowing users to reshape, morph, and reimagine their sounds in ways never before possible.
Imagine taking the tonal qualities of a violin and applying them to a howling wind sample, or morphing a vocal phrase into an evolving pad. With Novum, any sample can become an entirely new instrument.
