Isla S2400 vs Maschine S1200 Engine - Sampling Comparison |

[@MrTwentytwin]

S2400 has deeper lows so it’s better. But you can easily slap the rx950 or sp950 on Maschine to make up the difference. At the end of the day it’s natural sound vs sculpting a sound. Dope comparison

[@bbhnd]

The s2400 sounds more three-dimensional. very similar. Your comparison videos are always interesting.☺

[@SergeyTonkoshkurik]

wow, very close

[@InFamousProductions]

I have a s2400 and it just sounds super fat/full sounding, no digital sound. It actually sounds better than the sample source. it makes the drums really punch

[@EdwinRagland-x9v]

Just like the Sp1200 does. So economically I choose the S2400. 😁👍

[@jermainelong1843]

It's not night and day but the Isla sounds darker and thicker.

[@EricRabb]

But I do like the SP1200 mode on the Maschine. I made a Memphis type beat using the S1200 mode on Maschine, I promise earrybody I let listen loves it. I can’t afford a real 1200 but the emulation works. So I’m cool with Maschine S1200 mode. 🥁

확실히 s2400이 댐핑감이랑 펀치감이 좋네요

[@PreciseSense85]

This was closer than I anticipated. But of Im taking the S2400 simply because how it gels sounds together in the mix. But I might be taking an another look at maschine because of this 👀

[@vubeatz]

True, s2400 is much nicer in glueling the samples

[@LocaliLLocano]

SP950 is close too.i owned an SP1200 years ago

[@jazzroom]

Agree - ive got SP950 VST and real SP1200

[@Musical.Maze.1]

The S2400 has a little bit more low end. You can tell from the beginning of the comparison when you hear the "kick" drum.

[@Naahru1337]

eazy fix though

[@Naahru1337]

some might prefer it that way also..

[@Musical.Maze.1]

@@Naahru1337 Yeah, I can't complain about the sound of the Maschine S1200.

[@mattjones4765]

hard to tell on YT. but I think isla has the edge on the sound

[@zivdayan8919]

Really like isla vs mpc2000

[@vubeatz]

For You, everything :) soon on the channel

[@zivdayan8919]

@@vubeatz King!!!

[@cocktailvomit]

like the sound of the s2400 sounds.. it has more punch, and sounds more like the original EMU SP1200

[@youtubewatcher2006]

S2400 seems to have a stronger low end. Wether that is closer or farther to the original SP1200, I don't know though. The rest of the frequency response seems very similar. However, AKAI being unable to make faithful emulation modes of their own classic MPCs is the biggest head scratcher.

[@PreciseSense85]

Right! How do you have over 30 plus years of samplers and can never replicate the sound of the coveted engines? Its quite puzzling

[@CMagnificent2000]

They can replicate that sound through the hardware but the problem is that the hardware would no longer be accessible to the masses because of cost. Software replication is always tricky because it subjective to a limited audience before being released. The SP1200 emulator is pretty decent though.

[@shoeengine1161]

good stuff!

[@ken2.0]

Which one are you picking?

[@maschinelab8598]

For me is when you combine bass and kick that the s2400 is magic.

[@JasonToll-il5ln]

How is the quantization on the S 2400? Is it the same as the original as far as swing?

[@vubeatz]

Can’t tell for real because I got sp1200 for like a week and I don’t have one for comparison. Isla claims it’s the same but I can’t confirm :)

[@jazzroom]

​Isla is close but not the same as SP1200

[@Lotuz-mk1xv]

Isla has more lows and less highs than Maschine. Try to EQ match.

[@Ink0ne415]

Isla all day you can here the difference

[@HAYAKAWAMUSIC]

...the s2400 feels more organic and less harsh to me

[@davidscott2095]

I can't tell any difference, but since you have the advantage of hearing it live, coming right out of your speakers, I would love to hear your thoughts on what you think. Thank you for the video.

[@vubeatz]

I was amazed how close it is but Musical Maze have right, you can hear differences in low end in S2400 favor ;)

[@MattmanAZ09]

For me I heard the 2 filtering slightly different. Listen to the hi-hats too. Perhaps the s2400 has a little resonant filtering?

[@vubeatz]

@MattmanAZ09 no filters at all. Especially check.

[@MattmanAZ09]

@@vubeatz I am wondering if the filters applied during pitch shifts internally are different. Maybe a very subtle anti-aliasing filter? The maschine examples seem to retain slightly more upper frequencies.

[@deebaker4671]

S 2400 sounds fat and fuller, Maschine sounds like an imitation, but i have heard worst.

[@gabrieldonl2311]

cant hear on a cellphone but if it sounds like maschine emulation, any real hardware sampler before 1995 in any bit/sample rate resolution will sound better. I did tested.

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

Not much in it in the grand scheme of things , had maschine now got a s2400.

[@mmacult5336]

both look trash. akai and ableton needs to save us
