01Overview

Record Breaker is an effects plugin in the Multi Effect subcategory, developed by Fischer Music Club. It records incoming audio and breaks it apart with a model of a broken record. The developer describes its motion as organic rather than locked to a grid, so the result changes each time you play it. It is aimed at beatmakers, glitch producers and sound designers who want lo-fi and experimental material they can perform live.

03In depth

How the Shattering Works

Record Breaker captures your audio onto a spinning disc and breaks it into shards. As the disc turns, a virtual needle moves across each shard and replays a different slice of the original recording.

The developer contrasts this with standard glitch tools that loop a single buffer on a rigid grid. Because the motion follows the physics of a broken record, the rhythm of the glitching is less predictable and does not repeat in the same way.

Controls for Live Glitch Performance

The Noise knob adds vinyl crackle to the output. Other controls let you slow the scatter without changing pitch, or detune the material without altering its rhythm, so you can shape the texture separately from the timing.

Record Breaker accepts a loop, a vocal or a drum bus as input. It is built to be played by hand, which suits performance and improvisation as much as fixed production.

05FAQ

Questions, answered

What is Record Breaker used for?

Record Breaker is used to create glitch and lo-fi textures. It records audio and shatters it into shards that are replayed in an unpredictable way, and it is designed to be played by hand.

What can I put into Record Breaker?

The developer says you can feed Record Breaker a loop, a vocal or a drum bus. The plugin then captures that audio and breaks it apart.

How is Record Breaker different from a standard glitch effect?

Standard glitch tools loop one buffer on a rigid grid. Fischer Music Club says Record Breaker uses the physics of a broken record, so its glitching is organic and does not land the same way twice.
