Vital Police and Alarm Siren Sound Design Tutorial

27.1K views on YouTube

In this Vital synth sound design tutorial, I show you how to make a preset that sounds like a Police or a typical Alarm sound. I have included three macros to simulate the speed of the siren, the location of the siren in the left and right channels, and also a filter control to simulate how far away the siren sounds. It is mapped to bpm and pitch, so it will fit perfectly for any type of timed music. You can also change the main LFO to time, if you don’t want that effect.
