Common Tracktion Novum Software Synthesizer Questions
How do I configure Novum to receive MIDI input from my external keyboard or MIDI controller?
In your DAW, ensure Novum's plugin instance is selected and that its MIDI input is set to receive from your desired MIDI device. Novum automatically maps common MIDI CCs to macro controls, but you can reassign them within Novum's modulation matrix for more customized control.
Where are my Novum presets, patterns, and kits saved, and how can I back them up?
Novum stores its presets, patterns, and kits in a dedicated folder, which location depends on your operating system (typically in your user documents or application support folder under 'Tracktion/Novum'). Back up this folder regularly to avoid losing your customized creations.
How do I start creating a sound with Novum? What's the basic workflow?
Begin by selecting an initial sample source in the 'Sample' section for each of the six layers, then manipulate it with the granular engine's parameters; experiment with the spectral filters, FX, and the powerful modulation matrix to sculpt your unique sound.
Why am I not hearing any sound from Novum, even though I'm playing MIDI notes?
First, ensure your DAW is routing MIDI to Novum's plugin instance and that the output is routed to a functioning audio track; also check the volume levels within Novum on each individual layer and the master output, and that no layers are muted.
What are Spectral Filters and how do I use them to shape my sound in Novum?
Spectral Filters in Novum allows to you manipulate the spectral content of a sound, selectively boosting or attenuating different frequency bands, which is crucial for achieving specific tonal qualities, and can be modulated for dynamic effects.
