Arturia Spark Hybrid Drum Machine

TOTAL CONTROL OVER YOUR GROOVE
Spark from Arturia allows you to breakthrough boundaries of classic beat making by giving you in-depth control over your sounds, advanced loop mode and an XY touchpad with 9 real time effects.

DESIGN AND INTERACT WITH YOUR DRUMS
Each one of Spark's 480 instruments comes with 12 parameters allowing you to get ultimate sonic flexibility. Change the noise color of your hi-hat, add bodeshift on your toms, increase the tension of the snare... the possibilities are nothing short of huge. Each one of the encoders is automatable which means that the sequencer keeps track of all your movements; it adds new ways of giving your drum tracks that live feel.

REVOLUTIONARY SOUND ENGINE
Spark brings a wide variety of drum sounds, thanks to its powerful three dimensional sound engines.

ANALOG SYNTHESIS : Based on Arturia TAE technology, Spark includes more than 140 analog instruments totally customizable thanks to in-depth control over 8 different parameters.

DIGITAL SAMPLING : Spark comes with a complete library of pristine quality samples selected in partnership with leading third party companies. On top of this, Spark also allows you to easily import your audio files with features such as multi-layering triggered by velocity response and envelope gate.

PHYSICAL MODELLING : Embedding the latest physical modelling sounds, Spark lets you fine tune and alter the sound properties of your snare drums, bass drums, toms, cymbals, and access a world of unheard experimental percussion.

EASY STUDIO INTEGRATION
Sparks software can be used as a standalone application or plugin with your favourite host sequencer: Steinberg Cubase, Avid Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Apple Logic Pro, MOTU Digital Performer... In addition Spark comes with import function of Audio Aiff and Wave files, MIDI files and REX2 files. Drag and drop export of patterns in Wave and MIDI formats into your DAW also makes it handy for quickly saving your beat creations.

SOFTWARE FLEXIBILITY
Spark's software allows you to refine your beats through advanced editing functions. Thanks to the 16 track sequencer you can edit all your steps and automation accurately. The song mode also comes very handy to chain up your 64 patterns with easy drag and drop. At last, you can finalize and mix your whole production on the 16 channel mixing desk, including 9 professional effects with automations.

UNIVERSAL MIDI CONTROLLER
Spark is optimised to work in combination with its dedicated software. But it also acts as a universal MIDI controller that will allow you to control any other compatible hardware or software. A MIDI Control Centre application is included in the pack, allowing you to easily map Spark's controls to your gear. This application includes a template specifically designed for Ableton Live, making your ability to set up and jam a breeze.
