Good Lord…you guys are just amazing. Thanks for this. I will definitely be scooping up a Magenta/Siren when they’re both available.
Does PAS also sell transparent dust washers? A bundle with all of this would be amazing.

What would be additionally interesting to make even super tool-less is if you can have a ball-top/bat-top with a magnet built into the top/tip, and have that on a Phreakmods Link shaft. That would mean no extra magnet to have to carry around.

@butteroj hey man! thank you for all the videos regarding the Magenta.
Hope you release this soon! Would love to incorporate this into my build ASAP!
Do you have a time frame?

@zonbipanda can give you a more definitive answer as to the release, but I believe the goal is to have them ready for CEO.
Currently only two of the Magenta Siren’s exist out in the wild. @butteroj has the very first sample and MarkMan had the other installed in his DBZ prototype stick at Combo Breaker. A Siren version 2 was ready to go but decided to skip that and go straight to version 3 which has a lot more functionality. If Paradise does have these at CEO they will be available in very limited quantities and manufactured here in the US as there is insufficient time to have a large volume run before the show.
@zerofxi , If you are ready to install one soon for a new stick and have your magenta already, shoot me the stick details in a pm and I will see about reserving one from the v3 run. I might even be able to customize your Siren slightly if you’re planning to do CEO and EVO this year.

Edit: I’ve been asked several times the kit is this complex. The answer is no. This was 3 different prototypes that butteroj was testing plus a lot of spare parts to ensure he had everything he needed.
Here’s what @butteroj 's fail-safe Siren prototype self install kit looked like! 
Overkill!!!

What would a prototype cost me (assuming they’re available to the general public).
@KnyghtFall
I have a hand full of the V3 prototypes on the way to validate the updated design. Since these are hand assembled the final proof volume will be very low. I expect to have a few extras when we’re done and I’ll work with Paradise to get them into the hands of those who expressed early interest.
Send me a PM and I will put you on the interest list and be sure to let me know what state you live in as I have found it easier to work directly with players at WNF when possible.
In case anyone is following the Magenta Siren thread, I have a small update and a teaser.
Version 2 of the Siren checks out and works better than expected but it’s not done quite yet. We’ve added yet additional super secret connector to to the Siren and are moving directly to producing V3.
So, the Siren, which is an add on to the Magenta, now has it’s own add on with yet more functionality. @butteroj may be able to share more on this one at or before CEO.

Update:
Over half of the enhanced prototype boards have been allocated. If you expressed interest and did not get a confirmation message please send me a PM and we can sort through the details. If you are attending CEO in two weeks there is a good chance I can arrange for pickup and/or installation at the show if desired.
Waiting on cables to arrive but the new siren boards are solid and all functionality checks out.

Stupid forum software…
Paradise will have about a limited number of the Siren v2 with blue leds at CEO this weekend so make sure to swing by their booth early before they are all gone.
Later this week I will post a write up of what you saw in @butteroj 's video but the Siren v2 allows you to switch modes by passing a magnet next to the joystick or connecting the Siren to an external button on your case such as the start button. It has the hardware required to double the functionality on the button so it continues to function as the start button but if held down it will change the mode on magenta (or put magenta into setup mode at power up).
I have more cables coming in later this week and have a just few of the prototype v2 Sirens left. Depending on the demand at CEO we may or may not take this product to production. The boards are rather complex, time consuming and expensive to build so after the last of the protoypes are gone there will be no more small volume runs. If you want a Siren and do not get one at CEO send me a pm and I will let you know if there are any remaining.

Woot! My Siren is on its way so I can complete my stick!
Thank you @ZonbiPanda for being awesome, super helpful and just a pleasure to talk to.
Can’t wait to use my Magenta with the Siren functionality. Without Siren, I don’t think I would have been able to really utilize all the Magenta Profiles because my stick has limited buttons and it would be annoying to constantly open up the stick to push the profile button on the bottom of the Magenta. So grateful that something like Siren exists!

Got my Siren V2 and a LVLT in the mail from @ZonbiPanda today, as well as a new TE2+ To install it in. With help from Zonbi, and my Good Brother @Butteroj everything went together great. This is a work of art. I honestly think that PAS should implement the Siren as a stock feature for the price we are paying already, if not, it’s still worth the purchase alone, I love having the magnet swap profiles, or the button tap as well.
If you guys are on the fence, or considering a purchase, it’s definitely a great addition to the Magenta!

I just offered up the last of the siren spares I was saving in the main magenta thread. If anyone wants one send me a PM.

For anyone looking for a Siren, Paradise is now stocking them in their web store. They did a small run of the Sirens for EVO and now have additional units available for sale through https://paradisearcadeshop.com .
