"If you are reading this you already know a couple of things. First off it’s black. That is why the price is a hundred more then I would charge for a white one. Two is the fact that it takes a good long time to get one in white also. Don’t waste time over thinking this buy because this BLACK KORBOT is going to fly out of here. I listed a white one back before the update was available and it lasted like thirty minutes. The new and improved includes a sick as hell sequencer along with the craziest arpeggiator I’ve ever seen and a chord progression computer on board that makes it easy to save chords to any one of twelve pads. You can do so much with this thing and the little colored screen is sooo awesome looking. When a chord is playing the corresponding rubber keyboard button / keys light up red. This thing is hard to let go of for so many reasons that I say if the price at a place that I can order a white one for myself pay shipping to my buyer , shipping for my new Kordbot , and the two or three months it will take for me to receive my new White Kordbot and still not feel like I’m taking a loss then that’s the way I came up with the price of $500.00 then I said now that sounds fair to me then I took $25.00 more off my bottom line price. Thanks."
"KordBot is described as a ‘music production assistant that combines a chord generator, arpeggiator and step sequencer In one unit.’ It has 32 built-in chord types including inversions for each, with another eight user-banks for storing custom chord types."

"Just fooling around with the Kordbot and Roland MC-101 to show the quality and polyphony inside of the little beast, and to showcase the new Roland Zen engine"

"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."
ChordBot - A quick teaser Published on Jan 15, 2016 ISLA Instruments
"While we are producing the full video for the KickStarter campaign launching in mid Feb 2016, we thought we'd take a couple of minutes out to have some fun with ChordBot and tease you with a couple of it's features!."
"Chordbot is a midi controller device that gives the user 1000s of chords at their fingertips, to play directly into any midi capable device over midi, usb, and also bluetooth. The keys also illuminate the fingerings of chords so it teaches the user how to play chords for themselves. It's also a full featured arpeggiator with many different modes and a 32 step sequencer."
