Recodec
Lo-fi texture and tone
$14.99
Shape drums, vocals, synths, guitars, and loops with an effect built for grit, texture, harmonic color, and fast control.
Recodec is an AUv3 audio effect for turning clean signal into textured, character-rich tone.
Use Crusher for bit-depth style reduction, Reducer for sample-rate style degradation, Refine for smoother oversampled processing, Drive for added harmonic color, and Bass and Treble to rebalance the result. Then place the effect exactly where it belongs with Dry / Wet and the always-on Limiter.
Recodec is built for fast experimentation. The classic interface keeps the core controls close, supports mono and stereo operation, includes factory presets across multiple categories, and lets you save your own user presets for quick recall.
Recodec also includes MIDI Learn, Host Learn, CC assignment, and optional CC broadcast feedback for hands-on control workflows.
The included companion app can load Recodec directly, help configure input and output routing, provide safe monitoring controls, and provides a comprehensive user manual.

Version 2.0 introduces a completely rebuilt Recodec interface.
The new hardware-style faceplate brings the main sound controls into one focused panel: large Crusher, Reducer, Refine, and Drive knobs; compact input, output, Bass, Treble, and Mix Blend controls; analog-style output meters; a clear bypass switch; limiter activity feedback; and a faster preset console.
