"This is a MINT and flawless Isla S2400 in the ivory white livery. Also note that the end cheeks are wood as well as the original aluminum, clamshelled together - so you can leave it like this or choose to have either one.
(PLEASE NOTE -in the photos the display may look blurry - but thats an artifact of the camera. I took a closeup of the display in the last picture to illustrate that it's fine.)"

Isla Instruments Caladan Overview/Follow up
video upload by Isla Instruments
"Following on from yesterday's brilliant long form show with the good guys over at @ProSynthNetwork [posted here], I wanted to follow up with a shorter, more concise overview of what the synth is all about.
Hopefully this answers many of the questions I have been fielding over the past 24hrs.
The coupon code 'prosynth' has been extended until Monday. My apologies for not considering people not having the time to watch the stream and place their order in time. That said, the code WILL expire on Monday morning.
to place your pre-order for the Caladan synthesizer, and see the specs, audio demos etc, head over to https://www.islainstruments.com/produ...
Thanks to all who have already placed an order, it's you guys that are enabling us to put this into production. We're extremely grateful.
Big Love
Brad"

video upload by Pro Synth Network
Update: follow-up video here.
"This week we are joined by the owner and founder of Isla Instruments, Brad Holland. Brad burst onto the scene with the innovative KordBot and then followed it up with the utterly amazing S2400, an instrument that took its core inspiration from the classic E-MU SP1200 and rocketed it into the 21st Century!
Now, on the cusp of the next Isla Instruments release, the hugely exciting Caladan synthesizer, Brad joins us from his Florida base to tell us all about it and give us an insight into its development and the team behind it."

Caladan first prototype build stream
"This will be extremely boring to most, but to some, maybe not.
There might be bad language, burnt fingers, tears and breaking things.
If you like watching paint dry, you're gonna love this."

Isla Instruments Teases new Caladan Synthesizer
via Isla Instruments

Muad'Dib
Well, today is a milestone, everything is ready and has been sent off to fabrication to make the first hardware prototypes.
Caladan is (will be) an 8-part multi-timbral polyphonic analog / digital hybrid synthesizer.
We are carrying on the legacy of a fantastic, groundbreaking synthesizer called the 'Parva' by FutureSonus. Building on its DNA, we are putting our own twist on it to make it the perfect partner to the S2400.
Same form factor, same aesthetic (yes, same wood sides if you want)
It will bring polyphonic playback of multi-sampled instruments (SF2, SFZ, +) out of the box.
But the special sauce is the 8x expansion slots inside the case which will allow me to go completely fucking nuts with add-in voicecards.
OPL3, SID, SEM, SH-101, MiniMoog, Pro-1, etc etc... all these flavours can be realised on expansion cards and all accessed by a common UI.
Voicecards can of course be analog OR digital. The intention is to open this side of the synth up to allow 3rd party developers to create cards also.
I'm literally creating MY 'Dream Synth' and I want to take you along for the ride.
First hardware should be here in a few weeks!!
Here's a couple of renders of what the prototype will look like.
FUCKIN YES!!!!!"

video upload by Marcus Schmahl
"This is the 13th video of my electronica series called "Ambient diaries". The song contains the mighty Beat Machine Isla Instruments S2400. My Erica Synths SYNTRX II synthesizer adds some playing nice melody with modulation action. Moog Voyager is playing bass going through a Bettermaker Stereo Passive Equalizer and Arturia Polybrute is in pad mode routed through a Mäag EQ4M in M/S mode. Reverbs, delays with CXM 1978, Empress Reverb and Zen Delay."
