NOVUM - Sound Clay

Forget programming.

Sound Clay

We’re used to layering sounds to build something new. 
Novum turns that upside down.

 

It breaks a single sample into six timbral fragments - each playable, editable, alive.
And suddenly: your static sound has become liquid, mouldable. 

You don’t stack. You sculpt.
With your hands and with your ears.

Shape with Color

You don’t need a matrix of modulation lanes and a flow chart of signal paths.


In Novum, you see your sound - its texture, its color.
What you see is what you hear. 
You shape it by pulling on timbral gradients,
not by tweaking 12 parameters.

And when you want more?
Just grab a tone colours or envelopes from another sound and drop it in.
A soft, sweet attack here, a metallic tail there - 
like painting with fragments of tone.

 


No menus. No mapping. No numbers. 
Sound design has never felt so intuitive. Or so beautiful.

Made to set you free

You don’t need a giant sound library.
You don't need one instrument sampled in dozens of velocity layers. 

All you need is one sound you care about.
Novum turns it into an instrument - instantly. 
Or ten. Or a hundred.
Stretched into a soft pad.
Cut into shards for a glitchy rhythm.
Merged with something else to become something neither could be alone.

 

What you load in is up to you.
What comes out?
Surprising. Playable. Expressive.
And: uniquely yours.

One more thing ...

Drop a sample into the waveform view.  

Novum will decompose it into six timbral layers.

 

Now lock the tone colours and envelopes.

Then start browsing presets.

 

Each one reshapes your sound - grains, filters, modulation, effects - 

while your original material stays intact.

 

It’s not a randomizer.  

It’s your sound, dressed in infinite styles.
