well i dont exactly know if its a siren, but its all over his trax..it must be something like a one oscilator gizmothingy..the cool cool super cool thing about it is that it seems that its pitch and velocity are controlled by an incoming signal (usually snaredrum) so everytime the drums goes thru it the box goes "buu biuu Boui" (or sum shit like that).
ive been all over the net searching but cant find any info about it..so does any of u guys know about it and better yet know how to build one? thanx

track examples;

Attack - Dub Landing
When I love Dub - Dub In Roots Tradition
Dangerous Match Three - Scientist Wins the Worldcup (fukn massive album)

pace

post audio

ah...gotcha.
Listened to that very track - it's a Syndrum. Popular in the Eighties on all sorts of stuff. I dare say you can get a Maplin Electronics project kit or something to make one.

Too much fun ! biuu biuu bubuu

cool thanx trippa will look into it..

its not audio triggered but there's a thing called the dubsiren thats part of a collection of vsts called the dub scrolls if i remember correctly that has that dubsiren sound spot on. Its a bit overused in dubstep now though. Anyone know the site? Its free..

the analogic delay plugin is pretty handy also

ive made my own little dub siren using a sample n jus modulatin the fuck out of it....dont think its same one ure on bout but it cums close to the ones i hear down at local subdub.

well you can you use peak controller in FL to affect the pitch lfo perhaps

>tape delay.

>automation.

>er, thats it.

there is a free vst called dubsiren on KVR

good stuffs

that's a syndrum. before those were around, dub producers often used the oscillators in their mixing boards (built for generating test tones for tape) as an effect. tons of it in the lee perry black ark days.

Here you go (if i've got it correct)...more common dubsiren.

dub siren.wav - 0.51MB

btw the scientest (10 dangerous matches album) has more of a feedback generated tone that comes before most tracks is that what you mean? if so it's different to what i've posted.

I used the siren from the Pacman game in my Tetris Dubstep track and then really slowed it down so it synced with the tempo... Thought that'd be a nice touch
