RECODER
Gamechanger Audio Discontinued Released 2025

RECODER

Recoder is a mono effects pedal from Gamechanger Audio's Math Series that records a phrase and uses its spectral content to process a live instrument signal. It is aimed at players who want input-dependent vocoder, resonance, delay and reverb effects.

  • FFT spectral engine, up to 1024 frequency bands
  • Records phrases up to 10 min per slot, 234 slots
  • Three colour layers on four shared encoders
  • Loop, Step and Live play modes
  • Mono path with buffered REC input and output
  • MIDI over USB-C and 3.5mm TRS Type B input

Description

Recoder records a phrase of up to 10 minutes per slot, or takes a live signal at the REC input, and analyses it with an FFT engine of up to 1024 frequency bands. The result is applied to the instrument signal in real time rather than played back as a loop. A resolution switch offers High (1024), Mid (512) and Low (256) settings.

Four shared endless encoders work across three colour-coded layers. White covers amplitude shaping and timbre transfer, a vocoder-like effect. Yellow extracts slices and resonances from overlapping frequencies and feeds them into repeats and distance controls for delay, reverse delay, reverb and feedback. Red reshapes the modulator with tilt EQ, drive, bit reduction, pitch shifting and time-stretching. Three play modes are available: Loop, Step and Live.

It has 1/4" mono jacks for instrument input, main output, and buffered REC input and output, plus a built-in electret microphone. MIDI control works over USB-C or a 3.5mm TRS Type B MIDI input, with no MIDI output. The USB-C port is for firmware updates and MIDI only, with no file access. It was a limited 2025 run, and only B-stock or surplus units may appear.
