Arturia Spark

What is Spark?

Spark is a drum machine in the style of TR-808, Electribe or Reddrum.

Each pad triggers an instrument (Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Open Hi-Hat, Synth Bass...) while patterns are programmed using a step sequencer (16 switches on top of the hardware).

Spark is a hybrid solution. The hardware has to be connected to a computer where audio is being processed. This system allows musicians to use their own computer processor's high performance in order to get the best sound possible at the lowest price.

For a perfect integration into your DAW the software part of Spark can be used as VST, Audio Unit or RTAS.

The touch pad and the large amount of assignable encoders will enhance the musician's creativity and are making Spark the perfect drum machine for live acts.
