I wonder why people compare everything with Serum? It's not all about your synth. It's really about your skills. Serum is great but if you know what you're doing you can make loads of great music with the average analog/wavetable synth. One of the best producers I know only uses stock instruments in Studio one and his productions are so much better than mine despite all the expensive hardware and software I own. I learned from him to stop glorifying my software and to really develop the proper skills to make music. I've learned so much from him that much of my stuff has become redundant.
Not heavy on my CPU either. On Late 2008 - MBP 2.4GHz C2D, 8gb RAM with 750 Seagate Hybrid SSD 7200 thingy is works great. The Isotope Iris 2 is a problem on my laptop, so I opted this. Codex is brilliant. Not sure why people are arguing about this vs that vs this etc etc below? I just bought this and got on with producing.... Thanks for the upload Waves... :)
Is this the guy who voices automated call centre menus? For low pass, press 1. For high pass, 2. For band pass, please hold the line and an advisor will be with you shortly
Reading the comments below I came up with this formula... MM=PTSD Modern man = Push the microphone, talk to text, hit send, don’t proofread !!!!! Why proofread? I’m sure somebody can figure out what the hell you’re trying to say! LOL
I don't think so - it takes a while to develop synth (it's not a 2 months work) - since wavetable synth like NI Massive became successful many years ago - many programmers what the slice of a cake for themselves, and starting to develop their own plugins.
It takes a lot longer to create a production ready synth. Just because it's a wavetable synth doesn't mean that it's a "copy". Otherwise you could say any wavetable synth including serum is just copying PPG's Wave. It's just bad timing that two somewhat similar synths come out in so close succession.
I wouldnt say they copied seeing as though Serum isnt that old, more like on the same page, but I do like serum better. I like the way the preset menu is 100% better, Codex presets are just all lumped together and not really organized at all and it seems like its mainly a lot of presets for the 1 finger play ( no offense ). I think Serum sounds better over all. Both remind me a lot of Nave for the Ipad, which is another great synth.
No Macros No parametric EQ, and what EQ they do have is also the distortion module No changing the order of effects No drag and drop of samples for importing as wavetables, you have to open a separate window for that But it does have an arpeggiator... Because no one ever runs plugins inside a host... It's trying to be Serum, but failing at everything that makes Serum good. It's basically Massive by Waves, several years too late to be of any use...
What i do like, is the sound engine. It sounds lush! But indeed, there is so much room for something extra. It isn't revolutionary, but i love the sound for sure!
Don't like Massive either. I am a real fan of U-He's work. Diva, ACE and Bazille are truly awesome. This Waves synth sounds truly amazing. Bought it right away (less then €90,-)! Great to combine with the Blofeld, Diva and Monark. Fits right in :)
+Jeroen Bax (exm) yeah there great. have you used HIVE from u-he. It's one of the most impressive soft synthetic out there. one of my top three for sure
+TheArtyFarty its all about careful layering. In my experience, Serum has given me more control and a better UI than all other vst synths I used before. It really is a well built product.
Although I have almost everything on the market, I keep coming back to Codex for it's pristine sound.

Tienes razón, si toda la responsabilidad es de tu sintetizador mal vas. Exprime y disfruta del proceso y todo llegará
Un saludo

Such a cool synth! Thanks for the walkthrough
10:22
An octave lower would sound just like a Tibetan monk meditating 🙏🙏🙏🙏
wow... great stuff!!
14:25 Porn-a-mento? :/ this synth has some crazy controls
This is great, thanks. :)
I can't trip. What else does graintable synthesis other than Reason's Malstrom?

i was expecting him to say "life vests are located under your seat"
jeebus the serum fanboys need to calm down a bit...
out dated mod matrix, no drag and drop?
AND unfortunately the audio of Codex is mono in this video Grrrr... OSC 1-2 have no pan other than Pan via Mod Matrix . :(
Nice try Waves!

Copying Xfer Records Serum!?
or Propellerhead Malstrom))

Waves version of serum.

ohh bad timing

Don't forget Nave (iPad)
don't forget that reverb filter

Tangerine dream
to be honest... sounds a little underwhelming considering the bajillion syths already available. idk,
this synth has no chance of survival when serum is around.
this looks like they totally ripped Serum codex and made they own wavetable lol.....
+TheArtyFarty its all about careful layering. In my experience, Serum has given me more control and a better UI than all other vst synths I used before. It really is a well built product.
It's almost 4 times the price if you shop around so in a different category.
Another Waves video in mono.
its a video.who cares
When u buy serum from wish ^^
too heavy on the cpu for what it is. the fx section is pure garbage.
0xkev cheers i wont download it if its that shite
The real OG Serum does everything better
OG of what? Wavetable synths that would be PPG. Or software wavetable synths, that was popularized by NI Massive.
???
