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!"

"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.)"

Pro Synth Network LIVE! - Episode 182: With Special Guest, Brad Holland of Isla Instruments

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."

Isla Instruments Teases new Caladan Synthesizer

via Isla Instruments

"From now on, I shall be known as...
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!!!!!"

Ambient diaries 013 [S2400, SYNTRX II, Voyager, Polybrute, CXM 1978, Zen Delay, Empress Reverb]

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."
