Bonus points for submitting your snare as a wet, farty noise, as that's what the critics will end up saying anyway.

Not surprised some of the 'big names' haven't come through. Certainly not all but some real big 'egos' on that beta list who I would imagine took the units & have & will contribute nothing. You can see by the video / engagement who is really hyped about this project. I bet you haven't had to chase any of them for sound packs 😉

Some weird David Copperfield magic going on top left 6 seconds in 🙂

We need some Old School Techno / House drumkit/samples 🙂

I want to make my own drum kits.

I want one!

I hope there's some plastic sounding trap drum kits in it.. sike!

Brad Holland. You’ve been a Jedi all this time! You kept that well hidden. youtu.be/B6EsVIQ2H8Y

Let me know if you want the Mr.Sparkz101@gmail.com. soundpack

How can I be a part of this beta ? 🔥🔥🥁🎛🔥🔥

I see mine there in the back! 🤣

Any news regarding the new kordbot batch?

Can I still be a beta?

Here we go!!!!!! ❤️❤️

Rad!!!

Yo questlove where you at? 😂

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETA Test

🗣Yes!!!! 🤟🏽💯🤟🏽💯 let’s go!!!!!!!

Yes Yes, Y’all

Played this video 4 times just to hear ISLA Instruments pronounce “BETA” 🤣

Bonne appétit ! 😎

How dare you spend time with your family, enjoying your life! The nerve of you! Where's my machine? Stop playing and get back to work! Monday? Monday? Mon-day?? Slacker. [/sarcasm] Have fun!

When you're red in the face from dealing with assholes in your drum machine group! 😁

Hey Brad, anything I can do to help? Seriously, to take some work off your plate why don't you send mine now and I'll finish up whatever else needs to be done? That's 1 less unit for you to deal with! BOOM!!😝😎

Lovely looking family Brad. God bless you man !!

Appreciate your efforts ! Enjoy the family !

Have a drink on me.

Enjoy! What lovely family. Stay safe and be Brave!

Salud Brad! Enjoy your family time! Very important. Can’t want to get my machine. ✌🏼

Family and health are more important than beats! Just 😁

I don’t think you’d want to be anywhere else.

You deserve it!

Blessings to you and your family

Family first! 😊

Enjoy it! 🙂

Make the best of it

Bisous mon Eric ❤

Enjoy

Will for free for Isla 2400 😝

This is the reason I bought this machine. Just look at that. A true story of one mans blood sweat and tears being poured into this beast. Simply remarkable

Nice Brad. Still rubbing my thighs with anticipation.

I think I just had a little happy accident. In my pants.😮

Yesss!!! ISLA Instruments are you going to be shipping each day as you build or completing the entire build with all the units you have before shipping? Hope that makes sense. Thanks for building this dream project!!!

Thanks... I really needed Right Said Fred on repeat in my head for the rest of the afternoon. 🤣😥

I sworn, Brad! If I lived very close and knowing myself, I would have lent a hand for the pleasure of accompanying you on this adventure that I envy you. Courage from France👌🏽

If i were you i'd move that lot to another lock up. You've included the lock up number in the vid and it wouldn't take much to work out where that is. there's such a thing as too much information. Just saying.

Awesome

Sweaty beast mode: Activated.

Posting the locker number is poor security Brad.

Sweaty!!

❤️

Is it too late to ask you to include Wendel samples in the ROM? rogernichols.com/wendel

Beautiful. Memories.

I’m so glad that knob thing in the middle of the now number pad was removed. I always thought that was off.

So many people are gonna be dissapointed. They placed an order, expecting it to be like most kickstsrters where they never get the goods. They paid good money for the right to complain they've been conned. Now they've gotta learn a drum machine.

I would love to have one of this prototypes! 😉 Yes, som kind of fetichism that I can’t control! Xd

Seems like an eternity, hard to believe that was just last year...

Awww so cute..

I thought this form factor was so awesome and the final is so much more awesome.

is that an actual functioning prototype or only a picture mockup?

It's adorable!

I was tuned in the day it was announced!

Eye know 🙂

Nice vapor ware bro

Find the pic that Flux posted with the company logo blurred out. <3 <3

This is what I pre-ordered and you're giving us SO MUCH MORE

This one is for ISLA Instruments museum!

I'm out of the loop– when's the projected release of this guy?

I was convinced at first sight!!! Wonderfull job Brad Holland 👽👽👽

Looks like a BEAST now.. 😁

I want to get one

Not for nothing, I kinda like this prototype but the updated one is even more of a Beast. What a difference between 2019 and present 2020.

Nice esthetic...

Yhh i member 🍇

Vintage porn..

Just unloaded 8 pallets from the truck, some in the workshop, some going to storage. Another 8 pallets arrive tomorrow then it's build time! This is for the first batch of 500 units.

Mad props. To see a passion project like this reach its potential is amazing! I dont even use my mpc enough to warrant buying one of your machines, but I've been following the whole process, and it makes me happy to see things come to fruition for you!! I hope you sell a thousand more👊👊👊

I want one with a signature like the special roger linn mpc edition 🙌🏼🔥🙌🏼

It’s nearly 1:00pm and no tracking number so I’ve filed a PayPal claim

this is very pallet-able news

Noice! I may have missed it, but was a date given for the wood end panels being available for purchase?

You’re obviously busy, so maybe someone else can answer (if they know). Is there a way to know from the order # where in the queue you stand? Because based on my order #, if you started at 00001, you’re doing damn well.. 😂 Just curious.

Very cool! Hope the price drops a little in the future....or it will just be YouTube videos for me 🙁

Must be a scam. Those are fucking tomatoe boxes.

Liked and shared, hope i win, good luck everyone xx

Looks like they made it!

Great News!!!! Thank you for the update. Let me know if I need to book a flight to come over and help you build.

Hopefully there aren´t just stones in there.😃

Quick question obviously I know these things can’t be rushed. But when will the manual be available to read online? Thanks very much for your help 🙂

I can see mine!! 3rd box from the left, 2nd row up. Any chance of tucking it in a bit in case the fork lift clips it?

Hope they didn’t sent you Covid-20 inside the boxes 📦 ! 😜

I hope you have a pallet Jack!

One of them is mine? Ordered June 17, 2019 🙂 🙂 🙂

I’m getting FUCKING STOKED!!
