TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, October 6, 2014 '" Waves Audio is now shipping its new Codex Wavetable Synth, a cutting-edge polyphonic synthesizer based on an advanced granular wavetable engine and powered by Waves' Virtual Voltage technology. Designed to create sounds that range from warm acoustic and analog emulations to completely new, never-before-heard intricate and evolving textures, Codex's sound design capabilities put infinite possibilities at your fingertips.

The Waves Codex synth comes with hundreds of original sound presets, but also lets you import your own wavetables and manipulate them as you like. Thanks to its advanced formant control technology, Codex maintains consistent resonance character that is true to the original signal and gives you direct control over the acoustic resonance of the sound. Codex also innovatively uses a high-resolution FFT-based automatic interpolation technology that results in extraordinarily smooth morphing as you sweep through wavetables.
