Here we're just flicking through some of the presets of a soundfont in the Isla Instruments Caladan synthesizer. To demonstrate it working. This is the first fully built prototype machine so no UI just yet, patches are being changed by MIDI.

Mate, please do some magical stuff and make it so the s2400 gets a filter upgrade. Look into the S950, you know that's a godly filter, figure something out!!!
LOL!
Can’t wait for the dap card! Brad mentioned the Codac being switched out because the original (same one they used in s2400/caladan) became end of life. Does that mean the Codac in the s2400 will have to be changed as well for new units?
i plainned to buy an isla in europe at thomann , its plained an edition with dsp card? iwouldnt buy one and open it to install the dsp card😕
Do you think the OPL3 cards will be available for purchase when the Caladan is released?
Incredibly excited to see all the modulation potential Caladan has. Per oscillator portamento sounds like just the tip 🏔️
I'm really happy for Isla's success and I love the s2400. I just really wish you would keep your word on putting LFOs in the OS. I dont need fancy efx cards or more complex features. Please dont forget about the basics.
Amazing update.
usb floppy drive that'll read akai/sp1200? Or, info on how/what to do ourselves? you didn't fancy going the 'korg' route of going raspberry pi based hardware??
When I have the time, as I've said before, that's a 'for the love' thing. While it may be important to a few, it's not for the many. I want to do it, but it's not a priority. For now, you can import and convert SP1200 disk images on the machine, which is already more than any other sampler can do. peace!
Excuse if this was asked/answered lower in the comments (I didn't hear it in the stream) but are we listening to one card here and not a combination of all the cards? - I am assuming that is the case.
you are listening to 8 of the same card. I'm uploading a more in-depth 'noodle' using the cards tomorrow. thanks
@@ISLAInstruments Thanks for the clarification.
@@ISLAInstruments Your words are LIES! [patiently waiting for this]
Thanks for the Caladan update! Lots of great new features seem to be coming vs what I expected when pre-ordering! Take your time to make it as good as your dreams :)
have you considered adding PWM to the tri and saw? sure you have - any reason why the FW will not allow it?
takes as long as it takes team - i am looking forward to getting the dsp card in my 2400, will really make it another step toward a true do it all machine 🙂 - shame i can't commit to caladan pre order but look forward to one day when i can get it
great update; very interesting would like to have heard some word on the analog filter card tho
coming back to it after DSP and Caladan.
Hi ISLA TEAM, I know you have a lot on your plate already. Could you please take some time out of your hectic schedule, and make completely new s2400 videos. With focus on making complete songs. The current videos are ok, to a point if you just want to know about features but not how to use them to make songs from beginning to end in different genres. Which we know use different techniques . I love the product, built like a tank and the unit sounds awesome. Thank you in advance

Sounds excellent!
Damnnn Brad my Caladan can potentially double as a vintage arcade??!!!! You guys never cease to amaze me!
No reason why it can't, even run a full desktop OS off an SD card. Let's get the instrument finished first then we can Fu** around and find out! ;)
@@ISLAInstruments 🫡💯
When is the live looping for 8 bars glitch going to get fixed? I love the 24!!!
Is it registered as a problem in the forum? If so, then I'm sure we'll get to it. If we haven't already. We save fixes/quality of life improvements and put them all together in updated, rather than release patches...
I love the vision of the company. I would say deliver the basic feature set then add on later. Maybe a paid option for more features like Akai does. The DAW feature and game boot option would be good paid options. I hope you make a good profit margin so you can keep building more products for the next decade plus. Also that is some SERIOUS sonic fire power I'm hearing.
Thanks for the updates. Sounding very sweet and oldskool in the best way. Imagining it in person and with effects has my mouth watering. Paula designing a card is ace news as well.
Will the DSP card have any LFO abilities right out of the box?
LFO to manipulate what? many plugins have lfos for their paramaters, like tremelo/vibrato example.
The possibilities with the plugins is gonna be insane. Just the possibility of loading impulse responses into the 2400 and mangling sounds would've been enough for me
Emailed 'em twice, no reply, sale lost
on a weekend? we also don't use email, we have a ticket system. :)
Brad have you ever tried the Pioneer Toraiz SP-16? You would love i it is super fun and great for house music.
Underrated gem. Combo of the Pioneer converters and the DSI Prophet6 filters sounds absolutely fantastic! Some frustrating omissions in the feature set & OS, the effects are crap, but the basic workflow and functionality is great, and the thing just sounds great. Very different vibe/color to the s2400, but won't ever sell it.
Amazing machine, I wish they hadn't discontinued it
two years without an update for the kordbot which has a major bug is kinda bullshit right? i love the cut of the newer products, they're right up my street but just can't support a company the basically abandoned the product that started it all without one of its core and most basic functions
Maybe don’t buy that product, or any product that lacks core features.
@@mranalog241 I supported the kickstarter and bought it again when that one crapped out. I used it extensively until an update robbed it of one of its core functions. I dont know of any other company that just abandoned a product like that with a major bug.. to me it's really bad form and the main reason I wouldn't buy anything else from the company..
@@mranalog241 I bought 2 kordbots which was on sale up until last year so it's not an old product. I supported the kickstarter and bought another one because I used it so much and the first one gave up on me . I used it extensively until a firmware update robbed it of one of its key features which has not been addressed for two years now in spite of several mails to Isla instruments. I don't know any other company big or small that wouldn't consider it their duty to address such a major bug and show such disrespect to the customers who helped get the company off the ground. I'm just calling out bullshit as I paid my hard-earned money twice for a product that has been abandoned, it's just not cool
What is the major bug you mention?
Hi Brad, I´ve got three questions. 1) S2400 DSP card: Hopefully you´ll make a installation tutorial video? :) 2) Caladan: As I understand, the voice cards won´t generally include own effects but I can install my own effect plugins and use them on the voice cards and the multisample engine? correct? 3) Wavetable 4 voice card: Does it have analog filters on top?
I can’t answer the others, but yes the wave table card has analogue VCFs for each voice.
@@PaulasTechStuffthanks for the info. Perfect, this will be a nice card, too! Can‘t wait to fill up my Caladan :)
1) Yes of course, fear not! 2) correct, I can only speak for cards we make ourselves that currently don't include any DSP, but the digital engine of the caladan has all the capability of the S2400 DSP so a digital 8 bus mixer with insert and send fx.
@@ISLAInstruments nice 👍 can‘t wait to get the card and Caladan. Will you sell the wavetable card, too?
How much for that Caladan vst? 😁
that's just a ctrlr panel controlling the hardware.
Not wanting to give Mickey and Vlad heart attacks but one day mpe friendly? 8 independent cards suggests the hardware is there.
According to the website, it has MPE support. The Parva did as well, so it makes sense. Whether that’s actually been implemented yet, I’m not sure, and from what I’ve seen it’s unclear how it’ll work with multiple voices on a single card - I’m guessing there’ll effectively be an 8 voice limitation, but we’ll see.
Don't rein it in!
Pulse width sounds good to me.
I been using my mpc 500 for drum layers. Will there be a feature like that for the s2400? I know there probably not a high demand for it and i dont mind the workflow but would b dope to see. Also cant wait for the DSP to come in, Peace
yes, drum layers - please!!
This is high up on the wish list, even if it was just 2 layers. Yes there's workarounds but this is one of the main things I miss from the MPC
Great update!!! Any news on the oak cheeks back in stock for the S2400 :P ?
Robustness.
Robusticty?
@@ISLAInstruments Robusticality, surely.
I asked a question last week about the s2400. Hard drive that reads sp1200... And someone said I'll be dead and gone if y'all would even put that product out... So I told him well I'll be waiting in the after life still asking about that drive. . I know that people say to use this use that... But your version looks to be the best straight forward... So any ideas if your still working and bringing that out...
I spoke to this further up in the comments ^^
Thank you! nice to hear about the DSP shipping time :)( Hopefully include a video for tech-noobs on how to install it properly. Cant wait!
Of course!
Yes
Why did you do that 🙈🙈🙈🙈
don't look like any machine can do it... we still waiting... one of the best things made
This is the best song mode of any hardware on the market. Totally underrated for how fast it is to be able to record mutes.
I'll probably never use a sampler, let alone this one, but I'm watching this entire series anyway. That intro was DOPE. It brought all the charm of the tone-deaf education/marketing content thrown at me as a 90's teen. I might even end up buying one, and never using it, just to get the full nostalgic experience.
I'm curious which types of vst plugins will work on this (32bit/64bit ? win/mac/linux? vst2/vst3?) I'm hoping it can support older 32 bit vst's alongside newer ones.
If the card options really take off, I can see people buying second caladans. Maybe an official storage case for unplugged cards will be in order for those rocking a single device.
a nice big display would be cool
You should consider making the fx parameters cc controllable! So they can be automated from externally like other parameters on the s2400...
How do you record the sequenced synth back into a s2400 pad?
It's probably an incredibly useful controller, harmed by its own product video, as the sound and chords you used did not even attempt to showcase the machine (I presume). What a shame.
