Sampler & Drum Machine
S2400
A 16-voice sampler, sequencer, and studio centrepiece.
The Machine
The sound of the classics. None of the hassle.
The S2400 is a homage to the sought-after sonic character of the vintage sampling drum machines of the 80s and 90s — with none of the hassle and all of the modern convenience. No floppy disks, no 10-second sample limits, no failing components. Just the sound, the workflow, and the hands-on experience that made those machines legendary, rebuilt from the ground up for today.
The Engine
32 tracks. 16 voices. 8 live loopers.
32 sample playback tracks arranged in four banks of eight, with 16 voices of polyphony playing back simultaneously — mono, stereo, or any combination. Alongside those, 8 dedicated live loop engines run on top of whatever's already playing. And 32 independent MIDI tracks for sequencing your external gear or DSP Card plugins. 99 patterns and 99 songs per project. Record live, step-program in a grid editor, or lay down patterns x0x-style.
Twin Engine Audio
Twin engine audio. Choose your flavour.
Several different circuitry paths to sample through. A classic fixed-filter input stage that colours your source the way the vintage machines did. A clean 16-bit stage for full-bandwidth capture. And a pair of high-quality RIAA phono pre-amps for sampling directly from turntables. Two audio engines — HiFi (48kHz / 16-bit) and Classic (26kHz / 12-bit, with that drop-sample pitch character) — each with its own sampling rate and playback behaviour, selectable per track. Already have content on the card? The dedicated resampling mode routes it back through the analogue path so it sounds like you sampled it from the source all over again — with a shortcut that pitches things the way a 33 to 45 RPM bump would.
Build Quality
16 gauge steel.
6mm aluminium.
Built to work.
There's nothing else in the industry built to this standard. 16-gauge cold-rolled steel, 6mm anodised aluminium side panels, and machined aluminium knobs — denser, stiffer, and better engineered than anything else in a sampler or drum machine. Eight 60mm faders, eight velocity-sensitive RGB pads, and a bright 128 × 64 OLED display. Internal universal power supply — works anywhere on the planet, 100–250V.

DSP Card Expansion
Plug-in hosting,
right in the box.
Reviewers said the S2400 needed built-in effects. So we built the DSP Card — a quad-core 64-bit ARM expansion with 2GB of RAM that fits inside the chassis and intercepts all eight audio streams, routing them through a digital mixer with plug-in inserts, two aux sends, and a master bus. LV2 and VST3 plug-ins run directly on the card. No computer required.

Load third-party effects and instruments directly onto the DSP Card. Reverbs, delays, compressors, modulation — a growing library of compatible plugins.
Virtual Instruments & SoundFonts
Play multi-sampled instruments and SoundFont banks via the S2400's MIDI tracks. The DSP Card turns your sampler into a full instrument workstation.
Live FX by Sinevibes
A dedicated performance effect suite with 20 algorithms across 8 slots. DJ-style effects you can trigger from the pads — perfect for live manipulation.
