Combining vintage sound with modern features, the S2400 draws heavily on the iconic Emu SP1200 to create a new instrument with a distinctive character. One of the best samplers money can buy.

Supplier's Notes:
A legend, reborn.

The S2400 is nothing short of a passion project. Along with a small team of talented Software Engineers, CAD Engineers and revered artists, Isla Instruments have developed a future classic.

The S2400 is a passion project - to recreate the sound of one of the world's most iconic sampling drum machines, and bring it up-to-date with modern features. The result is the very best of old school and new school technology coming together.

Brad has been obsessed with drum machines for many years - owning, repairing, restoring, modifying countless makes and models (see his HR-16 mods on YouTube).

Staying true to form in both sonic characteristics and design aesthetic were the main drivers in the realisation of this project, while bringing the hardware into the 21st Century and keeping the same 'instant gratification' and intuitiveness of its spiritual pre-predecessor at heart.

A machine built for the now and the future.
