A Recorder for the 21st Century
Italian manufacturer ARTinoise has given the humble recorder a significant upgrade to catapult it into the new millennium. The transformation comes in the form of the Re.corder, a soprano recorder that is a traditional acoustic recorder and a modern wireless digital instrument. Complete with its own sound library, app, and ability to function as a MIDI controller, the ARTinoise Re.corder shifts the recorder from a mere elementary school rite of passage into a contemporary instrument that will appeal to a wide range of musicians. Sweetwater Academy of Music & Technology instructors love the Re.corder’s classroom potential. Its traditional recorder functionality allows for covering the basics of music. Plus, its MIDI capabilities blast open the doors to music recording and production. Parents will also love that kids can practice on their headphones by using the corresponding app for smartphones and tablets!
Acoustic recorder
The ARTinoise Re.corder still plays like a standard acoustic soprano recorder with the same fingerings, size, portability, and traditional classroom application. It weighs only 4.2 ounces, so it’s easy and convenient to carry in backpacks or store in lockers. Plus, the Re.corder also comes with a cleaning rod and quickstart manual.
Digital MIDI instrument
The Re.corder’s onboard electronics are where its potential truly gets realized. Used in tandem with its app for Android and iOS, the Re.corder allows teachers to create entire orchestras in their classes, let students practice on headphones, and further encourage inclusivity in music thanks to the Re.corder’s special modes that cater to individuals with mild disabilities. Also, the Re.corder’s MIDI capabilities can introduce students to the wonderful world of recording and production — use the Re.corder to play external sounds from any DAW, synth, or sound library!
