Codex Wavetable Synth

Monster synth with a massive sonic palette

Powerhouse Synth for Your Basses, Leads, and Beyond

You want the sweet sound of analog, but the clarity and flexibility of digital—you want CODEX. This granular, wavetable-based synthesizer’s offers an immense sonic palette. Inspirational, innovative, and exciting, there’s no faster or better way to liberate yourself from conventional synth sounds.

Starting out? Simply dial up any of the 500+ incredible presets. Synthesis Jedi master? Dive deep into unparalleled sound design possibilities—including the option to load your own waveforms.

The Ideal Synth for Preset Fans or Synthesis Masters

Beyond Conventional Oscillators

The wavetable oscillators move and breathe, by sweeping through a collection of single-cycle grains. Sweep from a modulation source, loop between wavetable points, or use a MIDI controller (e.g., footpedal or ribbon).

The Warmth of Analog Synthesis

CODEX follows up digital oscillators with analog subtractive processing—warm multimode analog filter (with 12 dB “obie” or 24 dB “mini” slopes), and VCA with shape and punch controls.

Massive Matrix Modulation

Choose from 12 modulation sources, including aftertouch and the arpeggiator/sequencer, then route them to almost any CODEX parameter. Easily dial in those “wobbly” bass sounds—even modulate the onboard effects.

Flexible Arpeggiator/Sequencer

Of course, the sequencer/arpeggiator can change note pitch—but it can also modulate any other parameter, sync to 13 rhythmic values or run free, add swing, choose 4 arpeggiation modes, do hold, and more.

Sound Design Without Limits

Choose the number of voices, from 1 for a vintage synth vibe up to 32. Add sub-bass and noise to mold oscillators into new shapes. Add built-in effects, change formants, do FM and ring modulation, thicken with unison mode… the possibilities are endless.

Load 500 Presets—or Import Your Own Waveforms

With its 500+ presets and easy synth editing, CODEX is superb for load-and-go sounds that enhance any production. Better yet, import your own waveforms as wavetables—and make sounds no one has ever heard before.
