CODEX is a granular wavetable synthesiser that combines the clarity of digital oscillators with the warmth of analogue filtering for basses, leads and more.

Two wavetable oscillators sweep through single-cycle grains, driven by a modulation source, loops between wavetable points or a MIDI controller. They are followed by an analogue multimode filter with 12 dB (“obie”) or 24 dB (“mini”) slopes and a VCA with shape and punch controls. The modulation matrix with 12 sources, including aftertouch and the arpeggiator/sequencer, four LFOs, FM, ring modulation, unison and effects extend the sound design, and you can import your own waveforms as wavetables.
