S2400 Kit Creator web application preview.

video upload by Isla Instruments

"The application allows you to drag and drop audio samples in various formats—including WAV, AIFF, SND, MP3, and others—directly into your web browser. It automatically converts them into the native WAV format required by the S2400, with the correct bit depth and sample rate.

Once your samples are imported, you can adjust basic parameters such as gain, pitch, loop points, and pad color. When you’re satisfied, you can download the completed kit to your SD card and load it directly into the S2400.

This is for ALL S2400 users and is DSP card agnostic.

We’re aiming to release this to our beta team by the end of the week for final testing. It will then be available for all users, free of charge, at www.islainstruments.com

enjoy!"

S2400 DSP Soundfont plugin creator.

video upload by Isla Instruments

"Today as my birthday gift to you, I release the beta of our soundfont plugin converter.
This web app takes a soundfont file as input, let's you preview and mess around with it, and then build that soundfont as a plugin which you can then drag onto your S2400 and use as an instrument."

"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.)"

Pics of the inside below.

"This classic behemoth has had many, many hours put into it to bring it back to its former glory.
If you're looking for a Quadra, I think this one is well worth considering as it is now a fully working, reliable synth with a lot of care and attention put into it.

I will purchase a FLIGHT CASE for this synth prior to shipping, at my cost.

Work Carried out:

Complete power supply rebuild (including all new regulators and capacitors)

COMPLETE polarized capacitor replacement throughout the ENTIRE synth (all tants and electrolytics)

ARP Filter modules removed and re-capped (using audio grade caps in the filter audio path)

Brand new Keyboard control PCB fitted (battery damage had ruined the original board)

Brand new Memory backup battery fitted (average 20-25 year life span)

Extensive Logic chip replacement.

Keybed stripped, chassis painted and keys re-bushed (feels like new again)

All sliders and switches completely stripped, cleaned, re-lubricated (and replaced with NOS where needed)

Brand new set of slider knobs fitted

Full Calibration

This synth will also be supplied with a beautiful (and extremely rare) original bound service manual (see photos)


The not so great:

The touch sensitive bar that runs underneath the keybed is not as sensitive as it probably once was, if this bothers you there are a couple of vendors out there that sell replacements.

There are a few scuffs and blemishes (see photos)

A dent in the bottom of the enclosure at the back of the synth (see photo)"

Video in the listing previously posted here.

"The Moog 'Sanctuary', of which only 100 units were ever made was the brainchild of David Van Koevering. Moog Music brought Van Koevering in to guide their marketing efforts when the company had developed a stronger national presence. David worked with local church groups to find a unique marketing outlet for a custom-named set of Moog instruments (the Sanctuary and Joyful Noise designs,) re-branded versions of Moog instruments designed and programmed to appeal to more traditional church markets.

This was recently serviced (November '22) by 'SynthPro' Jareth Lackey. (invoice for works carried out included) and also now includes a modern, bespoke internal powersupply from 'Synthtaste' for added reliability.

Everything works as it should, pots and switches are all behaving perfectly.

The cabinetry is in stunning condition, it really is a synth to behold.

A short video is attached which Jareth recorded after repairs were carried out."

"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

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."
