From nothing to musique concrète with Isla Instruments S2400

video upload by MrMakingsound

Description française ci-dessous.

"Look mum, no sequencer !

Isla Instruments S2400 is a modern sampler inspired by E-MU SP-1200.
Yes, you can create vintage, lofi and dirty Hiphop/House/Techno with it, but you can also compose modern stuff with neat sound quality. Before the review (i'm still working on it), i wanted to show how to perform a musique concrète-ish track without using the sequencer. Nothing is written before, all the sounds are performed live with pads, faders and filters.

S2400 only, with une pincée de OTO Machine BAM at the end, because there is no reverb in the actual firmware. But i hope it will change (This is a message for Brad and Vlad ^_^).

How it works :

Instead of using discrete and short sounds on each track, i like to use very long recording as a library of sounds, textures and ambiances. With the faders help, i can change playhead position, volume and pitch for each track. Pads are used to trigger and re-trigger sounds, filters to make room for frequencies.

As files bigger than 64MB can't be loaded in the S2400 editor, changing playhead position needs to be done blind, but that's part of the fun. You never know what you will trigger next, you need to improvise, and each performance is unique."

S2400 Initial Thoughts // Damn It Sounds Good.. With A Catch

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"The Isla Instruments S2400 is an incredible sampler with tons of features original SP1200 owners' wouldn't have even been able to dream of. But should Isla have gone a bit further, or was the design process as refined as it should have been? At times while using this sampler I found myself scratching my head, and other times I found myself applauding its speed and workflow shortcuts. I'm sure the S2400 will be apart of my workflow for a month or more but i'm not sure how long it'll last until i switch it out for another sampler, or... simpler (get it?)"
