What is SynFX
This could easily be one of the most innovative and hard-to-describe audio effects. SynFX can be “mainly” be used to morph any sound way beyond recognition (in no-time, from the very first time): a drum loop into a rhythmic synth and vice versa, the simplest square wave into a space-bending riser, hats into ethereal pads, any voice into complex Serum-style aggressive leads, growls, or deep neuro basslines if you like (not that you can’t do the same starting from a kick or snare sound). Hard to believe, shockingly easy to use and able to produce top-notch results: SynFX is meant to show the world how powerful M4L audio effects can actually be.
The strange mind behind StrangeLines, Ernesto Cecco D’Ortona, being also a long-gone UX designer, really managed to design and develop SynFX as a masterpiece of workflow, fun and simplicity: it’s all up to your creative skills. Don’t let the size fool you: you’ll learn the power of this jaw-dropping tool by yourself. SynFX always delivers a genuine WOW factor to shock, surprise, delight and engage the listener and the user from day one, thanks to its distinctive sound (see the notable/unique features) and its unmatched flexibility.
We’re talking about a no-compromise audio effect by StrangeLines, outclassing most VST plugins in its category.
StrangeLines offers SynFX as a free upgrade to all the amazing customers who believed, purchased and had a great time and fun with Wob FX 3, regarded as a “swiss-army knife for Ableton Live”.
SynFX notable/unique features
- Manually editable, autosaving, graphic filter envelope
- Real-time custom StrangeLines neuro-style pitch shifting (Warp control)
- StrangeLines new signature (custom-modeled) filters and resonance control
- StrangeLines new signature hybrid delay-chorus effect with extreme feedback and polarity
- Switchable Clean/Dirty routing modes

What is Streak FX
Streak FX is the audio effect born from a rib of Streakulator, the popular midi-modulated audio effect by StrangeLines and it is really an exceptional idea: even easier to work with, it’ll shape any sound or synth in a whole new rich and complex one, in a matter of seconds. StreakFX is a combination of the new hybrid delay-chorus effect by SL, combined with a bit crushing/distortion section, then animated by a perfect gater (large/tight as needed without compromises), drowning into the new “Warp” pitch-shifting effect (StrangeLines exclusive). StreakFX is a simple and powerful tool you’ll love and actually use like in every session. If you’re looking forward for a fast and beautiful experience with uncommon electronic exploration StreakFX is undoubtedly one of the most amazing audio effects to try on your sounds.
StreakFX notable/unique features
- Gating with finely adjustable width for both large rhythmic patterns and extremely tight glitches
- StrangeLines new signature hybrid delay-chorus effect with extreme metallic feedback and feedforward
- Real-time custom StrangeLines neuro-style pitch shifting (Warp control)
- Clean, minimalistic, modular, dry/wet-responsive UI
What is MouthBreather
MouthBreather is a special air/warmth management audio effect by StrangeLines. It’s quick, it’s easy and you’ll find yourself using EQs way less often thanks to this unique device: not only MouthBreather works great when it comes to adding air/crunchiness and warmth to loops or single sounds, but it’s also suitable to easily balance high, low and mid ends with simple yet detailed parallel processing. In other words MouthBreather can both clean and dirty your sounds with extreme precision in no time with ease and fun. You just got to try to love it.
MouthBreather notable/unique features
- StrangeLines signature breath and mouth (air and warmth) controls
- Detailed full-spectrum parallel processing
- Embedded waveform visualizer for both air and warmth sections
- Clean, minimalistic, modular, dry/wet-responsive UI
What is KitschVerb
KitschVerb, evolved from GlitchVerb is a heavy/full-sounding reverb designed to produce large, boomy and technological sounds with ease and speed. The main control is a XY pad you can record to produce complex timbre+time automations.
KitschVerb is comprised of just 3 controls, but GlitchVerb’s peculiar algorithm is still here and it’s been greatly improved to provide an wider gradient of flavors, without the need to manually adjust the root frequency (now automatic).
GlitchVerb used to work great for heavy drums, KitschVerb is even better for any purpose. There are too many reverb plugins out there sounding all nice: KitschVerb is for those wanting to sound different, starting from reverbs.
Main Features
- Easy and fast reverb changes
- Wide timbre gradient with less controls thanks to StrangeLines signature algorithm
- High flexibility with unique character and fullness
- Clean, minimalistic, alive, dry/wet-responsive UI
What is BSOD
BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death, remember?) is a stochastic sample freezing effect by StrangeLines.
What does it mean? Well, you could drop it onto a vocal track for a classy-chop effect, you could use it to turn any sound into a fresh organic pad, try it on a drum loop for example, but it’s also cool to use it as a gating effect and/or mixing it with the dry signal. in short BSOD makes you rhytmically freeze any sound source with extreme ease for whatever purpose you’re able to come up with.
Main Features
- Perfect gating/triggering with adjustable cut from very narrow to very wide
- Way-beyond-recognition sound design and shaping capabilities.
- Automatable and midi-controllable.
- Clean, minimalistic, alive, dry/wet-responsive UI
