Making emphatic dub noises is one of the joys of making electronic music, given the free reign you have to create experimental sounds with analogue synths! If you too are into such things, then the La Golden Acapulco, Dub Siren and Sampler will not only produce the tones you need, but has a built in sampler and looks absolutely stunning to boot! What a lovely little machine it is.
This tabletop Dub Siren and Sampler allows you to trigger a world of analogue synth sounds along side 12 sampled sounds – ideal for DJs, beat makers and selectors in need of more swagger! The siren has three play modes and controls for pitch and rate – with three waveforms to affect the pitch envelope (downward ramp, sinewave and upward ramp). The monophonic sampler has 3 bank of four samples which can all be loaded via the included MicroSD card – as WAV, MP3 or WMA formats. Connect to speakers, headphones or your mixer using the 3.5mm output!
This superbly designed unit is sold by Oficina De Sonido who are responsible for the brilliant Hanan Cumbia which appeared in our Tindie Gear Of The Year awards 2020 (look out for a 2021 editon of that soon!). They’re made and sold with love in Mexico and we’re completely besotted with their design skills. Here’s a video of the stylish device in action:
