The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Okay Jon, here's one for ya.

I want to make the siren sound at the beginning and the end of the 
song Ridin' the storm out by REO Speedwagon. 

It starts out with a low siren tone and sustains for a few secs. and 
then the siren gradually progresses to a high tone and sustains for a 
second or two and dips slightly lower again and then fades. 

Would I do this by using the wheel or maybe a pedal or preferably a 
preset internal delay and progression. Can anyone tell me how to 
duplicate this siren on the AN1x? I would prefer that someone 
download the song or I can email the MP3. I want it to be right on. 
By the way, the band keys everything down one octave. 

Can the AN1x be programmed to do the graduations in pitch and 
sustains automatically or would I need to use a pedal or wheel to 
perform this sound manually in a live setting? It would be nice to be 
able to just push a button and have it play. But again, I don't know 
what this synth can and cannot do. If it can't be programmed, I just 
need to know the settings on the AN1x and I'll control the pitch and 
sustain using the wheel or a pedal.  Thanks in advance for any help I 
can get.

Also, I would be more than happy to donate a small fee for any help I 
can get. Maybe $5 per song that I can get the settings for.

Cheers,

Kevin
