Under the hood of SPARK 1.7 lies an abundance of inspirational improvements.

Far from it, in fact, for the speedy SPARK 1.7 software engine lets SPARK Creative Drum Machine and SparkLE Creative Drum Machine users drive their chosen instruments to even headier heights of creativity with faster loading times, thanks to improved RAM consumption. The beauty of these two eye- and ear-catching hybrid hardware/software solutions is that they need not stand still functionally and, of course, creatively. O Acoustic drum kits subtly mixing physical modelling and samples for high audio realism.When Arturia debuted its SPARK Creative Drum Machine in June 2011 it succeeded in revolutionising hands-on beatmaking by cleverly combining TAE® (True Analog Emulation) synthesis, sample playback (with multiple layering modes and post-processing), and physical modelling technologies with the intuitive workflow of a hardware drum machine. Never one to rest on its creative laurels, the NAMM Show 13 subsequently saw Arturia redefining what a drum machine should be by introducing the SparkLE Creative Drum Machine, an all-new, ultra-portable package sharing the same SPARK software engine with a price point to die for! O Electronic kits covering the most popular modern music styles : Dub, House, Techno, Hip Hop, RnB… as well as experimental fields thanks to the physical modelling engine. O Vintage drum machines : Analog recreations in the spirit of the TR-808, TR-909, Simmons SDS-V, and Eprom based LinnDrum, Drumtraks, DMX, and more*. To me, Spark is a great alternative to all the MPC-style, Gigs-of-samples-based, complex solutions available today.” We added many real time effects and a great controller to offer hands-on workflow. It offers recreations of many classic drum machines, an expected delivery from Arturia, as well as innovative drum sets and high quality sampled-based acoustic kits. The project has now come to an end and I believe Spark is a creative, simple and fun instrument to use. Since we also wanted to include samples, we turned to reference companies such as Sonic Reality, Ultimate Sound Bank, Ueberschall and Modern Beats. “Three years ago, looking at the solutions available for drums, we thought we could bring to this area a little bit of our expertise in virtual analog synthesis and physical modelling.
“For many years, Arturia has been mainly dedicated to creating synthesizers,” says Frédéric Brun, President of Arturia. Spark will save you time when looking for the right drum kit, will get you hooked by its amazing simplicity and will surprise you by its sonic possibilities. SPARK is a complete drum solution made of a software application and a dedicated hardware controller.Ĭombining the power of analog synthesis, physical modelling and samples, through the intuitive workflow of a hardware drum machine, Spark is a highly creative beat production center.
ARTURIA announces the upcoming release of a highly creative drum machine: SPARK.
