Yeah definitely not isolated, I had this when I first started using the module. No idea if it’s still there but I think it is, just way back early on in tape 1.
This sounds a lot like “datamoshing”. In other words, I think that the sampler’s read head has gone out-of-bounds and is interpreting non-audio data as audio.
To people saying that they love this file and would intentionally make a similar sound, I highly recommend downloading Audacity and making it force-open non-audio files. You can get some surprising results. I’ve had particularly good sounds pop out of .exe files.

I’m going to try using Audacity to open student assignments and see if they make more sense as noise…

Toggling behaviour [record] lends to interesting phasing effects
tambourine ensemble on Instagram: "ansible running kria to chords mode plaits to an out of time w/ loop to sisters. overdub and phasing ensues. instant philip glass / steve reich caricature #mutableinstruments #monome #ansible #whimsicalraps #synthpatcher #synth #eurorack #modularsynth #phasing #modularsynthesizer #modular #synthesizer #loop #synthesizer #sampler #sampling #counterpoint"
terrible lighting, but i was amazed how quickly a loop of ansible sequencing plaits (using the organ/string machine type sounds in chords model) turned into a glass-ian loop (imho music w/ changing parts-ish) with just a little out of time overdubbing, a sloppy loop, and the whole thing going through sisters w/ CCW quality settings.

That was very good! I’ll have to give something like that a try.

My direct order arrived on Monday 
and I’m stumbling a little out of the gate. Is there any way to get out of Izzy altogether and just skip to a blank tape ? (I can’t seem to make it past the record part of the tutorial and just want a blank slate.) I can’t seem to get into global mode by holding r.
Thanks in advance!

There’s a step by step walktrough in this thread somewhere. Izzy posted it last week.
Not sure if global mode is accessible during the tutorial.

once you have finished the tutorial, the module starts without izzy

Thanks. That’s what I’m gathering. Looks like I need to soldier on. Unfortunately, I keep getting stuck in the spot @taylor12k reported above:
But now I’m stuck half-way through. Izzy keeps asking me to hit Record to Overdub - which I did - and it worked - but he doesn’t move on. 
I’ve got an overdubbed loop playing. I can stop and start w/ p but can’t seem to get past. Any ideas appreciated!
EDIT: it feels like I’m trapped by some errant cue points. Every time I attempt to re-do the tutorial I return to the same short loop (of mine) when I get to the “hit record to overdub this” part.
EDIT2: maybe this is what @ghost encountered too… Any tips to get unborked?
Might sound silly but i thought i bricked my module earlier today. It started like i was stuck in a loop then i couldn’t skip loops or record over, rebooted and it was totally un responsive. It wsn’t like user error ive been using it quite few days now it was literally doing nothing. Managed to boot izzy sequence then i re booted holding ‘PLAY’ instead and it just went back to normal. I have no idea what i did to fuck it up but im back enjoying it again now. Strange.
Anyone else noticed the switch looks like it might be a push button too? Can anyone confirm this? If so it may be able to unlock more functionality?

Unfortunately many toggle switches push in like that, but without any electrical connection

Ah yeah… Wishful thinking on my part i guess

OK, lots of reboots and looking ahead in the Izzy script above I got further. (The trick was to jump right to overwriting). Now I’m stuck at:
now, flick up to add a second cue point. this cue is the end of the loop.
which I’ve now heard so many times I think I’m losing my mind. Flick ups not registering.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Did izzy ask you hold Loop and press record to enter cue mode?
To exit cue mode can be a bit tricky first time you try it also. Holding Play to audition, while holding play down down on the switch and release play.
just a heads up as we discuss tutorial izzy – IRL izzy prefers they/them pronouns.

No. If I do the “hit record to overdub this” I just get stuck in my loop and Izzy never comes back. If I got right to l+r I get further but inevitably get stuck further on. Most recently, at
nice! you’ve got the basics down and you’re almost ready to play w/. let’s switch to live mode. while auditioning, hold down then release play.
which is now in a state where I need to hold play to hear it… but then how do I “hold down then release play”?
Two quick thoughts:
- maybe we should break out a separate thread for tutorial debugging
and
- is there any way to switch to a tape w/o completing Izzy? I’d really love to just move on at this point…
Cheers @izzy!

Auditioning is holding Play in Cue mode. So, while holding Play, hold Down (on the toggle), then release Play.(?)
Edit: the language is a bit vague I guess.

OMG. This.
If I could star this a hundred times I would. Thank you!
Achievement unlocked.
Exactly right. At least for me. Grokking the manual would help here but who bothers with those!
Cheers @Justmat 
First rounds on me!
