What Codex Wavetable Synth does
Four LFOs supply six waveforms, including random, and an arpeggiator/sequencer can act as a modulation source.
The filter is a multimode analog design at 12 or 24 dB/octave, and the signal passes to a section with distortion, delay, chorus, EQ and reverb. More than 500 presets are included. Windows and macOS builds, VST2, AU and AAX, are the variants that appear in torrent and magnet link posts.
Key features
- Matrix modulation. The matrix provides 12 modulation options, and nearly any parameter can be modulated with the phase of each route reversible.
- Four LFOs. Four LFOs offer six waveforms, including random, for modulating pitch, filter or other destinations.
- Arpeggiator and sequencer source. The arpeggiator/sequencer can be used as a modulation source to drive parameters rhythmically.
- Multimode analog filter. The filter switches between 12 and 24 dB/octave slopes, and the developer describes its character as warm-sounding.
