Synth question

[jonessoda]

Anybody know what synth was used in Darude's Sandstorm for the main beat? You know, the scratchy, kind of klaxon-like one? My audiophile friend told me at one point, but now I forget.

They probably made their own.

I dunno, I remember it was a commercial one of some sort or other.

I asked him today. He says it's probably a 303 with lower envelope modulation from what he can tell, but I've played with a 303 emulator and can't get anything near that sound out of it.

No, I responded to the first response, bumped once, then bumped with actual information.

It's like the steering wheel in the pirate's pants. It's driving me nuts!

Edit: Thanks for the free bump, BTW.
