need help identifying a synth (that ferry corsten uses)

hi,

so i've been listening to ferry corsten a lot recently, and i've noticed there's a particular synth sound he uses a lot to transition from one part to another (in/out of the chorus for example).

i don't really quite know how to describe it, but it almost sounds like a teapot 'screaming' sound. he starts it at a low pitch and it quickly builds to a high pitched wavering peak as the song transitions into the next part.

one song in particular i've noticed he does this with (there's more that i can't remember): 'Fire feat. Simon LeBon'

if any can help me identify that particular synth, or maybe suggest something that would produce a comparable sound, i would really appreciate it.

thanks!

Yeah I know the sound you're talking about. He does use it a lot lately. It almost sounds like a machine winding up then winding down. Not sure how to make it though.

On second though, maybe you could sample a similar high pitched sound and use the break on the TT or CDJ to emulate it.

Listen to the original mix of "Fire" right before the vocals "oh woman you make me feel..."

It's a windup sound.

something that lets you send pitch bend really far. like -24 semitones at least.

sounds to me more like a fm sound so use some fm style synth and then automate the pitch controll.
