Knobcon 22: Isla Instruments SP2400 Updates and Plans

Isla Instruments SP2400 is a loving tribute to the original SP1200 - considered by many to be the finest drum machine ever made. 

The SP2400 is a sample based drum machine and sample player with many specific features designed to make the groove work.

Jim talks to Brad Holland about the updates: double the voices for starters from 8 to 16 stereo and  8 stereo live loops. There are also plans to introduce more hardware enhancements such as a DSP card for internal FX, plus more analog filter processing.

I love my S2400. It's the perfect size, has all the right features (8 outs, USB host), easy to use interface, really nice build quality and priced very affordably. Great little company and I will always support them and their products.

Best drum machine/sampler of the 2020’s. No question

[melkerpetterson]

Great stuff, can’t wait for the live looper upgrade! That filter drive from the filter board sounds interesting. I will buy it all!

Doubled the polyphony 👍 8 individual analog filters in the work 🤯

S2400 and my SSL six go so well together...

[obscuresoundz]

that analog filter card will take the low end theory technique to a new level

[elissitdesign]

Ordering. Interested in this analog filter card as well. Sounding lovely. Followed this project for a long time but ever pull the trigger on an order. I like wait till the dust settles I guess.

Great to see this, how lucky we are with this music tech renaissance

I really really wish you guys would make this machine have something like the z plane filters. All the emu heads (me included) want a unit that surpasses the e4 platinum. Maybe an idea for your next unit.

[dsmith]

Awww Mannn!! You guys have to make that timecode vinyl a priority. That will make you guys A+ numero uno. 💯😁

[DigitalStains]

Yooo that timecode idea sounds amazing! Happy to wait for that

[MultiMam]
