Augmented re.corder : Soprecophone

We have transformed the Artinoise re.corder into an expressive digital MIDI soprano saxophone, which we named the Sop-Reco-Phone. This innovation is founded on our technology and expertise with MIDI augmentation kits.

The Soprecophone is a fully modified re.corder transformed into a complete digital soprano saxophone. This instrument combines custom engineering, advanced MIDI functionality, and expressive wind control performance in a compact and lightweight design.

Core Design

• Built upon the Artinoise re.corder platform

• Custom EWI-style fingering system, covering 3 octave ranges.

• Fully redesigned and 3D-printed body for improved ergonomics and structural integration

• Extremely lightweight, portable, and performance-ready

Augmentation Features

The Soprecophone includes a proprietary augmentation system that expands expressive and MIDI capabilities:

• Bite sensor sending midi CC#1 for vibrato control

• Dedicated pitch bend control

• Portamento pad (CC#5)

• MIDI latching button (on and off)

• MIDI touch pad for additional assignable functions
