maybe i dont get to demo it

but i could get it for around 30 bucks, is it recommendable even if you have SERUM which i absolutely love?
can you do some wicked automations and nice low end atmospheric sounds with different waves?

Proud of myself that I manage to resist the $29 GAS

If you want to get

with the hazzle of installation, activation, searching for your vst versions.....have bought it for the 30 euro but would never have done it a second time. I dont have serum, just could say it took lots of cpu for not THAT special sounds. Same cpu on Iris and you have something really special. It has nice motion in the sounds I must admit and lot of not so bad presets, yeah, if it was a normal vst, unpacking, loading, enter serial, play....just my two cents...

I bought it, serial came minutes later, registered it, reran license center and voila. easy peasy lemon squeezy.

I find it works great layered with Spire and/or Sylenth. fills in the sound since it is a bit dense spatially and midrangey.

I just bought my first waves plugins in many years (bit of a story, but.. whatever).

Installation/activation process was exceptionally easy. I wish everything was this simple.

I bought REDD as I already have the synths. It goes really well with Codex! They might release Codex 2 with REDD effect built in

But I agree that layering it with another synth (in my case Dune 2) gives a big full sound

I have both, and while I like Serum more, for this price I recommend getting it. Note it does have trouble running in some DAWs, like Numerology.

I bought just the Codex from the Waves summer sale - mainly because I don´t have any wavetable synth before this, and I like the idea of creating and using own samples as the wavetables.

A quick demo after first 30 minutes: I have used in this test two wavetable-samples, man voice ("Can you feel my codex, Baby") and the woman scream.

You can hear both of the orginal samples and same samples as waveforms created by the Codex synth. Codex sort of deconstructed the voice print of the sample and creates something which "follows" the waveform original sample - the low "instrument" is man voice manipulated by the Codex and the high "instrument" is womans voice manipulated by the Codex.

Does anybody know the name of the 'extraction' program I am talking about? I'm not at my home PC at the moment, and even if I was, I can't guarantee I could find it.
Are you on Windows. If so, it might be called SHELL2VST? Google that name and you'll find links to the download. You'll also find how-to articles that suggest how to make it work properly (hint: a bunch of file permissions have to be set exactly right).

Yes, thanks for that, that's the program I used, SHELL2VST. I don't think I had to do any file permissions though, I think I just used SHELL2VST to separate the Codex VST from the Waveshell, and then FL Studio found the VST without any problems.

..and who would have thought it eh, Waves extended the sale

Now comes the real GAS test

12hrs...must resist

*edit*
Arse, GAS at $25 from Audiodeluxe

*edit2*
Pleased I caved in. Definitely has a different tone to my other WT plugs, and the factory presets are very good....all for the price of a soundset
