Product Detail
Imagine the lively beats of a Kingston dancehall, where the rhythmic Dub Siren sound mixes smoothly with reggae and ska melodies. The Dub Siren, born in Jamaica's vibrant dance halls from a simple oscillator, has been the heart of ska, dub, and reggae music. Ring The Alarm revives this tradition, giving you an easy - to - use yet powerful plugin to add sirens, synth rises, and mashed - up effects to your tracks. It stands out with its unique combination of vintage tape echo and spring reverb, offering great options to create grungy, trippy feedback and that classic reggae reverb clang. This plugin is designed for hands - on use. All controls are right in front of you, and it sounds best when you're adjusting them. Customize your own alarms with different LFO shapes, speeds, and an envelope that automates LFO - speed and the built - in low - pass filter, then add final touches in the effects section. Features include a PWM oscillator with full range (responding to MIDI key pitch), an LFO that affects both oscillator pitch and PWM, a second single - stage envelope controlling amp release, a simple one - knob spring reverb, an LFO with four waveforms, speed, depth and optional phase reset (on trigger), a single - stage envelope (decay) controlling a low - pass filter and/or LFO speed (bipolar), and a tape - style dub delay with self - resonating feedback. Buy this plugin and unlock it in your AKAI Professional MPC Standalone hardware and use it in your favorite DAW. Move your productions between standalone hardware and DAW seamlessly with the same great sounds, compatible with MPC One, MPC One+, MPC Live, MPC Live 2, MPC X, MPC X SE, MPC Key 37, and MPC Key 61.
Using Ring The Alarm is a breeze. First, install the plugin in your AKAI Professional MPC Standalone hardware or your favorite DAW. Once installed, start exploring the controls. You can play around with the LFO shapes, speeds, and the envelope to create unique alarms. The built - in effects like the spring reverb and tape - style dub delay can add that classic reggae touch to your tracks. When adjusting the controls, keep in mind that small changes can make a big difference in the sound. As for maintenance, make sure your hardware and software are up - to - date to avoid any compatibility issues. And if you run into any problems, check the official support channels for help.
