ARTinoise re.corder BLACK

Thanks to this efficient logistics process – which makes intermediate warehousing unnecessary – you benefit from a fast, hassle-free purchase and a shortened supply chain. It is also a more environmentally friendly choice: by minimizing handling steps and unnecessary transport routes, the CO₂ footprint is reduced. The item is delivered factory-new and in perfect condition.

The ARTinoise RE.CORDER is a brand new interpretation of the classic soprano recorder. With its built-in wireless connection, digital sensor platform and interactive app, it takes the traditional recorder into the future and provides access to a world of unprecedented sounds and expressive possibilities.

Technology

A range of touch-sensitive digital sensors detects the position of the player's fingers, a pressure sensor captures breath pressure and a 3-axis 3D-accelerometer determines the position of the instrument in space, thus opening up  the infinite possibilities of its innovative digital platform.

Interactivity & Performance

With its dedicated app, you can connect the RE.CORDER via Bluetooth to an external device such as a smartphone, a tablet or a Windows/Mac computer, and integrate all the notes you play in real time, including the pressure of your breath, as well as the accelerometer data, into your performance  .

In this way, you also have the option of connecting your RE.CORDER as a real MIDI controller to other apps that are compatible with the MIDI protocol: from educational tools for lessons to the more complex programs for composition and music production, such as Logic, Ableton, GarageBand, Cubase, etc.) external sound libraries, loopers and other MIDI sound generators. 

Portability

RE.CORDER is as small as a normal recorder, weighs only 120 g, requires no long cables and can also be played with headphones (simply connect the headphones to the device on which the app is installed). So you can devote yourself entirely to playing your music wherever and whenever you want, without having to worry about disturbing others! 

Sound Versatility

With the RE.CORDER app, you can play 32 timbres from its own soundbank, use various fingerings and create your own, transpose octaves, apply effects and much more.  

Inclusivity

The RE.CORDER promotes inclusion, as it can be played in special modes that also allow people with mild disabilities to use it. 

• In lip mode, you can play by simply placing your lips on the instrument, without having to blow.
• In keyboard mode, you can play the instrument by simply touching the keys, just as you would on a keyboard.
• With the magic wand instrument, the sound is produced by moving the instrument in space. 
• In addition, simplified fingerings can be created to support people with special difficulties.

Educational Potential

RE.CORDER has extraordinary educational potential. With the class.room app, specifically developed for use in schools, the music teacher has the possibility of creating a complete and inclusive orchestra of re.corders in the classroom by assigning each student a different sound and voice according to their inclinations and abilities.

At home, the student can continue practicing with the re.corder, either alone (with or without sheet music and/or backing tracks), or together with a partner via the DUO function, or with the virtual teacher, which points out mistakes.

The Right Choice

The RE.CORDER is not only the first digital wind instrument based on a recorder, but also the most advanced and versatile currently available in its category.

Its app-based technology enables continuous feature updates and offers the user a constantly evolving, highly customizable and comprehensive instrument.

Compared to other professional electronic wind instruments (EWIs), the ARTinoise re.corder offers an affordable alternative in terms of cost and learning curve.

It is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to start with a straightforward, portable and relatively affordable digital wind instrument.

RE.CORDER is a hybrid acoustic and electronic soprano recorder with: 

• built-in wireless connectivity and sensor platform for detecting the notes played
• pressure sensors that measure the strength of the breath
• an additional inertial sensor (3D accelerometer) that detects the position of the instrument in space to give your playing more musical expressiveness

RE.CORDER can be used as: 

• a fully functional traditional acoustic soprano recorder (acoustic sound can be muted) right up to a digital instrument
• a classic-style recorder with digital output (digital wind instrument)
• a MIDI controller for use with your computer, your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and your preferred sound libraries
• adapted fingerings and modes for physical challenges (simplified fingerings, lip sensor instead of pressure and more!)

FEATURES: 

• Micro-USB charging port
• LiPo battery (8/10 hours of operation on a full charge)
• BLE-MIDI interface
• BLE connectivity
• 3D accelerometer sensor
• lightweight and robust housing
• touch-sensitive note holes
• RE.CORDER app for Android and iOS
• Weight: 120g
• Color: black, white, blue, red, green, yellow & pink
• Made in Italy

What's included in the delivery:

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The recorder app is compatible with devices on which at least the following operating systems are installed:

• Android (smartphones, tablets): OREO (8.0) on the Arm platform. It is also possible to connect the re.corder with older versions, but the audio optimizations are only implemented from this version of the operating system onwards.
• iOS (iPhone and iPad): iOS 10.0 and iOS devices with BLE support (from iPhone 6S and iPad 4th generation and iPad minis)

The functions of the RE.CORDER app

• Learn and play songs
• Play a selection of classical, rock and pop songs and collect points
• Solo play with digital teacher – shows errors during play
• Play freely, even when accompanied by other apps
• Play with a friend in the same app via the DUO function

THE APP'S SOUND LIBRARY

The digital sounds of the re.corder come from the sound library (SoundBank) included in its app. We have chosen to include the sounds in the app to ensure that re.corder users have a constantly evolving instrument. 

The number of sounds and functions included in the app will be expanded even further over time, so that your re.corder will keep surprising you again and again!

The SoundBank currently comprises 32 sounds, including not only wind instruments, but also strings, pianos, organs, synthesizers and drum sounds:

• Recorder, flute, clarinet, oboe, trumpet, muted trumpet, tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, duduk, bagpipes, shehnai, violin, cello, nylon guitar, distorted guitar, sitar, fretless bass, piano, church organ, percussive organ, bandoneon, slow strings, film score, fantasy, synth tom, choir, standard drum kit, synth bass, orchestral pad, square lead, saw fifth, wobble pad.  

THE 3 MODES FOR PLAYING RE.CORDER 

• BREATH – This is the mode for playing any wind instrument. The sound is produced by blowing into the mouthpiece of the instrument.
• LIP SENSOR – In this mode, the sound is produced by placing the lips on the mouthpiece of the instrument, without having to blow. This mode is particularly suitable for people with breathing difficulties.
• KEYBOARD – This mode allows you to play the re.corder by simply touching the holes of the instrument, as if it were a keyboard. Particularly suitable for selecting percussive sounds from the library or also for people with disabilities.
