The record

Purpose: Novum creates instruments from a single sample, ranging from delicate pads to resonant synthesizer sounds.
Sample layers: Its algorithm decomposes a sample into six independent layers for separate access to timbral characteristics and temporal dynamics.
Granular synthesis: Granular synthesis supports up to six layers, independent speed and pitch, and grain syncing to a DAW's tempo.
Sound shaping: Features include cross-synthesis by drag and drop, spectral timbre modification with the timbre flower, and subtractive synthesis with SYNTIFY, analog and comb filters.
Modulation and MIDI: Novum includes a modulation system and full MPE support.
Presets: The product page lists more than 300 factory patches.
Expansion packs: Tracktion lists optional Novum expansion sound packs, including Schatten, Converge, Particle Motion, Signals from Outer Space, and Lifeforms.
Trial: The product page advertises a 90-day unlimited trial.
Account requirement: Tracktion says an account is needed to install and unlock its software.
Support: Tracktion's support center offers help from its Tracktion Bot, human-powered support, training videos, and a knowledgebase.
Privacy: Tracktion's privacy policy says it uses personal data to provide and improve its service.
