I play in this rock band and I need a siren sound (voice) for a song. I thought this would be a common sound effect, but I could not find it on my mox6. Does anybody know if there is a siren on the mox, or how I could get one? Thank you. |

I do not recall a siren sound. One of the Lead Synthesizer sounds could be modified and played in such a way to sound close though. |

A siren sound can be so many different things… in many places in the world different sirens are used for fire, police, ambulances, etc. You can certainly build one using any number of different source waveforms. There is a “Police” (siren) in the wave ROM at waveform #1300 (in the Sound Effects category). You be amazed how simple some sirens are - because you only need to bend the pitch to mimic the sirens movement. You can use an analog synth wave (sawtooth) to emulate a NYC police siren (as in the “Law&Order;” TV theme.
Initialize a VOICE and assign Waveform #1300

You can try to edit the Voice ‘Lazerzz’ USER1:122(H10) This is an nice example of changing pitch to get a siren sound. |

Ok, I tried but am lost, and wasn’t able to locate the information that I need in the manuals. I am confused as how to initialize a VOICE and assign Waveform #1300. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. |

I guess my question was not worthy of an understandable response. Nice customer support. |

Wow, really,
Press [VOICE]
This will initialize a new VOICE
For more on creating a VOICE see the Owner’s Manual page 27.

Thank you very much for the useful tips here. I am wondering how I can easily pull up the siren at waveform 1300 without having to go through all of these steps every time. Thanks in advance! |
