Im almost more excited to try this now because of the critical reviews on workflow.

It 'looks' like its the ergo dream, but apparently not.
Anyway, nice sounds.

People's opinions on the workflow are totally subjective. I don't find anything wrong with it, or the UI colours...just another opinion

Personally I find the UX and UI far more more appealing to work with than all the Skeuomorphism used on most GUIs...fake 3D rotary pots just like the original whatever...it was cool 20 years ago, now I like my 'software' synths modern and fun to work with...polymer, phase plant, generate etc...

Is the demo the same installation file as the registered version (i.e pre-registered), as with other Tracktion products? Just wondering as I bought the full version on jrrshop without trying the demo since the preset walkthrough sounded great to my ears. Still waiting on jrrshop so wondering whether to install the demo now?

the same, you can register it, when you get the code (did you check the spam folder?).

It is the same file.

Strange, I had my code from JRRshop within 5 seconds or so.

I am also waiting for my code (ordered Sunday)

I think a lot of it depends on how many reg codes JRR has in stock. I got mine within a few seconds too (I ordered it as soon as I saw Uncle E's post in the deals thread), but I know that sometimes, a retailer will need to request more codes from the dev, which can take a little time.

As if by magic mine just turned up

No biggy with a fully functional 90 day demo either way, but glad to have it!

Haha, just got my code also. Amazing coincidence.

Can I use my own samples in Novum. (sorry didn't go through the videos yet).

How playable is it, and how expressive can it get ?

Yes, drag and drop...super easy, you can drop up to 6 'layers' and tweak them all independently or together. How expressive? Well...its fully MPE so the rest is up to you! Fully functional 90 day demo will sort you out, but do watch the into video!

Some small details I am missing, I could be wrong and just overlook it but on the delay it would be nice if Sync is on to see in what time signature it's delaying.
Glide is for MPE most of the time default on 48, in Novum it is 12, is it possible to set the default to 48?
When I press on one of the modulators, i can see the dests, that is very nifty! however when Press on one of the dests i can only choose remove, it would be an improvement if it directs immediately to the dedicated button so there is no need to search for it on one of the other pages.

This 7 min video will give you a good overview of Novum. It demonstrates the most important aspects to get started using it.
