What makes you think I do any more than crayon coloring my paste before I eat it than anyone else here? But if I had to choose then... NoiseAsh - Ruletec.

 

Nice one! The Hydrasynth is a some synth.

 

Precussion? Now I'm interested!

 

You've got it wrong - It's all about the groove before the groove. "I started with some precussion, then when I droppen the kick....BOOM!!"

 

Let's be fair with them:
after all, they never said it would be released soon...

 

It's already released actually:
Google for Isla instruments.

 

So the whole thing is basically... precussion?

 

Code:

Without getting too off-topic here, Islas Instruments' S2400 is a reality but anyone thinking of supporting this one-man-company needs to be aware of several things. First, none of his products are readily available. Second, once you make a full payment be ready to wait months, years, for the product to be delivered. Third, the products have way too many software glitches (almost 200 reported bugs on the S2400). Finally, but no less important, customer support and appreciation is non-existent with Brad Holland the owner. If you thought that Uli was a jerk, wait until you deal with this guy. To be clear, Holland is the type of guy that if you placed an order for a product, and complain that it has been months and you are yet to receive what you paid for, he will literarily tell you to fuck off and send you a refund. His justification is that he is a one-man show. Holland does have a really nasty attitude, does not know how to treat his customers, and lacks any knowledge of what good PR is all about. Indeed, customer reviews for the S2400 are only accessible to registered owners. That is correct, the general public can't read what we are saying about it.  We were one of the first to support him when he released the Kordbot. We cut him some slack and again supported him with the S2400 but those days are over. Anyone seriously interested in a Kordbot or S2400 can send me a PM. We have 2 of each.

 

Basically a scam?

 

No he's one guy building these to order, and he is subject to the same supply and parts shortages every other manufacturer in the world is going through right now. I work for one of the big display manufacturers and even we cant get certain components or even finished products in right now. We're a multi-million dollar business (we've made a shit ton of money thanks to COVID and everyone working from home) with a real supply line, factories, R&D, etc.. I can only imagine what is happening with the 'little people' right now.

 

Leaving aside the "Linn style" aesthetic, this gear pretend to have the features of products such as Roland TR8S or Elektron Digitakt.
Behringer has ambitions and that's fine, but it's relatively simple to solder 4 wires to a printed circuit board to than clone a monophonic synth, the concept becomes completely different when it comes to producing quality digital gear that really works. As we all know RD8 has suffered from firmware problems for years (now solved), Wing mixer is still full of bugs and who knows when it will be 100% functional: the development of this type of products takes time, patience and experience, it is not so simple. Elektron has twenty+ years experience in digital gear (Roland even more), they are in no hurry and they don't have a crazy Uli as a boss.
In my opinion it will still be a long time before Behringer can afford to compete in quality (and with more affordable prices) on such complex products

im betting 20 bucks on it comming out in 2024, mark my words

 

Bro, let us get something straight here. The issues with Islas Instruments not delivering as promised date back to way back before the pandemic. Moreover, one thing is being a one man show and another one is being a fucking moron who does not know how to treat customers. And in case he is reading this, and wondering who we are I will give him a clue: MMP's LO + SP.

 

No scam but a fucking roller coaster mixed with a minefield and a bipolar sniper if you ever complain.

 

I kind of agree with that and it reminds me of xiaomi and their sub brands:
They are very good at releasing some flashy products rapidly but quality on the long run is a different story.

 

By the way: the B-Linn display is from Elektron

• Was it disassembled from an Elektron product and inserted into the B-Linn prototype?
• Is that Behriger pic just a photoshopped mockup?

.......

There is no doubt about it: Uli is in advanced trolling mode

 

Always has been lol
