Nope, Serum doesn't do that. There's a Reaktor factory ensemble called Waveweaver that does that (but only on new notes, not continuous like Codex seems to be doing).

In the Yoad Nevo video he said that there ar 640 waveforms in one wavetable. So that explains the decimal. The question remains if these are interpolation waveforms.

There are 64 wavetables. But there seems to be 640 when you scan between wavetables. Interesting. So I think these are interpolated wavetables.

Btw. the Unison implementation seems to be a bit different than expected. The manual says something about a doubling effect and there is some kind of phasing, which remembers more of a Phaser. I think this is also a part of the different sound compared to other similar synth like Serum.
Envelopes are also a bit different, I hear a small gliding effect with the attack so this are not this very hard attacks found with other synth. Maybe there is more interesting stuff under the hood which results in the overall a bit more smoother/vintage sound.

Did you try the shape knob?

There are 64 wavetables and each of the factory wavetables uses 64 waveforms (you could also check my screenashot at the previpus page). Anyway the synth engine uses additional interpolation and the "Resolution" knob at the OSCs adjusts how smooth this is done (smoothest with the knob at maximum and very "steppy" at minimum).
This way it is even possible to get smooth results if the wavetable includes less than 40 waveforms (like e.g. 33 if you use audio term for creating wavetables).

That makes sense. Why didn't Waves ask you to write the Codex manual?

The Wavesuniverse deal makes it only £54.50 in the UK. I haven't found many videos of it on Youtube, only three, and they have only a few presets being demoed. Does anybody know how many presets it has, and are there any other demoes of it available?

So do you get a permanent license for this or does it run out every year or so and need renewing like other Waves stuff?

The license never runs out. You can't upgrade (like if they came out with version 10) or resell w/o the wup. Wups are around 17 bucks apiece? Something like that and if you have a bunch there is a cap.

From a recent email reminding me my cover is due to expire;

'Please keep in mind Waves Update Plan coverage is not necessary to continue using the version of the licenses you have.
You only need to renew when you need the benefits gained by Waves Update Plan coverage. See below for a complete list of advantages for staying current.'

Ah. Master Hibidy beat me to the punch!

You can't upgrade - what about updating (bugfixes)?

Point updates have worked without issue for me so far.

As long as it's version 9, it's not a problem.
