DUB / HOW TO

DUB SIREN CLASSIC

A focused dub siren interface for waveform, LFO, ZAP, filter, echo, reverb, hold effects, BPM looping and recording.

Start from AIR RAID, PEW PEW, RAPID, LASER, WOBBLE, FOGHORN, STEAM or UFO, then edit only the sections you need. Hold the large pad and drag: sideways moves pitch, up and down moves the LFO rate.

What this browser tool does

A focused dub siren interface for waveform, LFO, ZAP, filter, echo, reverb, hold effects, BPM looping and recording.

First five steps

  1. Select a preset and test it with the large performance pad.
  2. Choose SIREN for a held tone or ZAP for a short sweep.
  3. Adjust oscillator waveform, PITCH, LFO RATE and DEPTH.
  4. Shape the top end with FILTER and add repeats in ECHO CHAMBER.
  5. When using BPM LOOPER, match the tempo with TAP or the BPM value.

Basic controls

PRESET / MODE

Presets are starting points. SIREN sustains while the pad is held; ZAP is better for short pitch moves and repeated shots.

OSC / LFO

OSC creates the core tone and LFO supplies movement. Square waves cut through, sine waves stay smooth and noise works as an effect.

ECHO / HOLD FX

DELAY, FEEDBACK and REVERB build depth. FREEZE grabs the previous sound, while FILTER and KILL create performance changes.

BPM LOOPER

The looper repeats a short performance in time. Set tempo before recording material for a track.

Practical setups

Roots weight

Start from FOGHORN or WOBBLE, darken the filter and slow the RATE.

Digital cut

Use PEW PEW or LASER with a square wave and a short delay.

Self-oscillation

Stop the source, lower MASTER, then raise FEEDBACK slowly until the echo begins to sing.

Save and export

Use REC to capture the browser output and save after stopping. Setting BPM, MASTER and FEEDBACK before the take reduces avoidable retakes.

What this tool does not do

  • This tool focuses on one sound or pattern task rather than final mixing.
  • Keep output level conservative before pushing feedback, drive or repeated effects.

FAQ

Is it free?
DUB SIREN CLASSIC is free to use in the browser.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Open the tool in a current browser to start.
Can I save or export the result?
Use REC to capture the browser output and save after stopping. Setting BPM, MASTER and FEEDBACK before the take reduces avoidable retakes.
What should I try first if it does not work?
Click the performance pad once if browser audio has not started.

Troubleshooting

  • Click the performance pad once if browser audio has not started.
  • If repeats will not stop, lower FEEDBACK and use KILL or STOP.
  • Lower FILTER CUTOFF and OSC HIGH when the top end is too sharp.
  • Lock phone orientation if rotation shifts the layout during a performance.
