S2400 DSP Card Upgrade
Bring the S2400 Into the Future with Studio-Grade FX & Virtual Instruments
The Isla Instruments S2400 has always been about authentic sound, classic workflow, and hands-on control—but one thing was missing: Powerful DSP effects and real-time audio processing.
Now, That Changes.
The S2400 DSP Card Upgrade brings an entire high-performance DSP system inside your sampler, transforming it into an FX powerhouse and multi-timbral synth engine.
- Reverbs, Delays, Compressors, Bitcrushers, Filters
- Live Performance FX Engine Developed with SineVibes
- Supports LV2 and VST3 plugins (CLAP support planned)
- Multi-Sample Instrument Playback
- Seamless, User-Installable Expansion with Preloaded Plugins
Upgrade Your S2400: From Classic to Cutting-Edge
DSP Specs That Go Beyond
Unlike the stock STM32H7 microcontroller (which was perfect for the S2400’s core workflow but couldn’t handle real-time DSP processing), this custom DSP card is built for pure audio performance:
Custom in-house developed realtime audio Linux operating system.
Quad-Core 1.5GHz ARM Processor
2GB RAM + 4GB Internal Storage
Seamless Integration into the S2400
Once installed, firmware updates work exactly like regular S2400 updates—just copy the file to your SD card, and the S2400 handles the rest.

Studio-Grade Effects, Right Inside the S2400
Before this upgrade, the S2400 only had basic filters—now, you have a full suite of FX plugins at your fingertips, no external gear required.
Built-in FX Plugins Include:
- Reverbs
- Delays
- Bitcrushers
- Compressors
- EQs & Filters
- Classic MDA FX Suite & Airwindows Plugins Preloaded
Additional curated plugins are available in our growing library, with third-party developers already onboard to bring even more DSP magic to the platform.
LiveFX Mode – Developed with SineVibes
Performance-Ready DJ & Producer FX – Punch in live, tweak in real-time.
Working closely with Artemiy Pavlov, founder of SineVibes, we developed the LiveFX engine—a performance-driven, DJ-style effects system that gives S2400 users an entirely new way to interact with sound.
LiveFX Features:
- Chain up to 8 LiveFX Units – Lo-Fi, Repeaters, Phasers, Flangers, Vinyl/Tape Effects & More
- 3 Real-Time Tweakable Parameters Per FX Unit
- Live Input Processing – Route external audio (guitar, synth, mic) through the S2400 and process it with DSP effects in real-time (Live input processing also works in standard mode, allowing audio inputs to be routed into any bus for further processing.)
Multi-Sample Playback & SoundFont Support
Yes, we’re answering the calls from our users to introduce multi-sample playback to the S2400.
We’re developing a web application that allows users to either upload and edit SoundFonts or create their own by importing their own multi-samples. This means users can fully customize their sample libraries and tailor their sounds directly to their needs.
Users can create and import their own multi-sampled instruments, making the S2400 a truly multi-timbral powerhouse.
Digital Sound Factory founded by Tim Schwartz (one of the original E-MU sound designers), has prepared a special discount for Isla Instruments users on their legendary E-MU Proteus SoundFont collection, including Orbit 3, Vintage Keys, Xtreme Lead, and more.

Due to our upcoming focus on the Caladan synthesizer, we can’t guarantee when (or if) we’ll do another production run.
If you want to future-proof your S2400, this is the time to grab one.
