Welcome to the next iteration of lo-fi chaos: the Alexander Syntax Error XP.
Welcome to the next iteration of lo-fi chaos. Syntax Error XP is a compact, performance-focused sound design machine built to turn guitar, bass, keys (or anything you plug in) into glitchy dial-up textures, twisted echoes, arcade soundtracks, and beautifully broken digital mayhem.
Why you’ll love it:
8 creative sound modes spanning glitch, distortion, modulation, pitch chaos, and more
Assignable expression + built-in Ramp (auto “expression” sweeps without an external pedal)
Ramp LFO for evolving movement and rhythmic modulation tricks
Full stereo input & output for wide, immersive rigs
32 presets to store entire pedal states (modes + settings + mappings)
Full MIDI control over every knob and setting
Sound Modes (Highlights)
STRETCH – short-buffer time warp for twisted echoes, glitches, and “laser birds”
CUBE – digital distortion + resonant filter for brutal, gnarly tones
WAVE – FM-style modulation from smooth vibrato to clangy chaos
AIR – vintage low-memory rack-style reverb vibes with extra grit
GLITCH SHIFT – pitch shifting with the safety rails removed (wild artifacts included)
RING / FREQ / DYNAMIC – ring mod weirdness, frequency-shift madness, and responsive crushing
Preset Power, Fast Workflow
Save up to 32 presets and recall complete sounds instantly—ideal for live sets, studio sessions, or switching between instruments. On-device preset scrolling keeps you moving without menu diving.
Expression, Ramp & Ramp LFO
Map controls to an expression pedal for smooth morphing—or use Ramp to automate those transitions. Turn on Ramp LFO modes for continuous movement (sine, saw, square, random) and evolving textures.
Stereo Routing That Fits Your Rig
Syntax Error XP is designed to shine in mono or stereo. Choose the routing mode that matches your setup, and even flip right-channel phase if your amps or effects need it.
Specs

Perfect for:
glitch/lo-fi tones, experimental ambient, synth-like modulation, arcade textures, studio sound design, and anyone who wants their pedalboard to do something weird (in the best way).
Tip: Pair Syntax Error XP with stereo delays/reverbs or a MIDI controller to unlock its full “audio transformation platform” potential.
