It's great when your young and have money to throw around on whatever you want.
I think during the edm period, most had moved onto serum. It's always been my go to synth for plasticy perfect sounds. From what I learned back then, skrillex was actually using fm8, not massive.

So my advice is stop your whining, stiffen your upper lip, made do with free plugins running inside Reaper and just save and buy the plugins that you want.Back when I was a youngling, dubstep was a cool genre - actually had a lot of elements of dub. I saw my friends spending money on drugs, girls and booze, and I chose to pass on all of those to attain my goals and gear in those days was way more expensive when adjusted for inflation than things are now. I stared with things that were junk and next to free and slowly saved and traded up. My parents were in no way going to help me with my passion, so it was up to me to scrounge and save to get what I was after. It’s funny, when I was a youngling, I fell in love with guitars and quickly guitar pedals and amps. So, if you’re after that sound, then buy that instrument. I’m not a dub-step dude, but word on the street is that Massive sort of became the de facto standard for that genre. Putting something very plastic-digital up against something pure analog or even an acoustic instrument is a thing I love to do. Not that I think that’s a pejorative term. To me, it always has a sort of plastic vibe to it. Nothing really sounds exactly like Massive.
Then, if you still feel Codex is worth it, buy that as well. I’d say do the free deal for Iris and use Surge until you have enough for Massive and Absynth. Is it worth your money? I say yes, unless you’re still going to be pining away for the plugins of your dreams and the money you spend on Codex is going to set you back months before you can get your dream synths. if you think it will replace Massive or Absynth? Nope. That said, I bought it, because sometimes that’s all that’s needed and why muck about a vast playground of features when they’re not what’s called for? I know absynth is also capable of this but it always seemed buggy and slow whereas this is automatic and straightfoward.Codex is a great synth, but it’s great because they put in a bunch of good sounding wavetables, a good wavetable conversation tool, a good sounding filter and made sure all parameter ranges keep things in the preverbal “sweet spot.” It’s a very simple synth that in no way stands up to what you can do in something like Massive and is totally different than Absynth in every way. Anyone tried it? I was surprised how fast I was able to come up with unique, interesting sounds by loading my own audio files into it. So my advice is stop your whining, stiffen your upper lip, made do with free plugins running inside Reaper and just save and buy the plugins that you want.Īs a hardcore waves fanboy, I also demoed codex last night.
Of course, each synth has different features, and characteristic sounds, and to me, nothing really sounds exactly like Massive. From the free Surge to the very cheap Synthmaster (I think on sale now?) to the multi-engine-monsters like Falcon and Omnisphere 2, you shouldn’t have a problem finding great sounding wavetable style sounds regardless of your budget.

We’re really awash in a sea of great software (and hardware) wavetable synths. Anyway, if Massive and Absynth are the ones you want, and you've demoed them to death, save your pennies and don't settle! Settling is like throwing away your money out a speeding car window, only less fun.ĭitto, yet again. There's yet another new wave table synth out there, cheap intro price, but again, I'm not impressed with the overall sound.
