The compact effect stacks Crusher, Reducer, Refine oversampling, Drive, Bass, and Treble into one classic interface with Dry/Wet blend and an always-on limiter. Factory presets and user preset support keep experimentation fast while MIDI Learn and CC broadcast handle hands-on workflows. From the same developer as Robot Butter.

Recodec runs as AUv3 on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with a companion app for routing and manual. It works as an AUv3 plugin inside GarageBand and AUM, adding lofi texture without extra routing.

Key features:

  • Crusher for bit-depth reduction
  • Reducer for sample-rate degradation
  • Refine oversampling control
  • Drive, Bass, and Treble tone shaping
  • Dry/Wet blend and always-on limiter
  • 35 factory presets
  • User preset save and recall
  • MIDI Learn, Host Learn, CC assignment and broadcast
