it's not just the sound of old drum machines people like, it's the feel or 'groove' they used to achieve, much like the older Akai MPCs which were and still are REVERED for their timing. even the most basic drum machine from the late 80s onward has this so WHY is it still not on board?Ĭlocking regularities. I think most of us have given up hoping for an update for spark 2 and some kind of comment from Arturia is sorely needed here as to what/when/if there will be a spark 3. Spark 2 is such a 'nearly' piece of software, it's such a shame as it could very easily be the only 'drum machine' type plugin one would need, its hybrid engine is excellent imho, certainly against many other drum machine type plugins, things like BFD3 kick it to the kerb for 'real drums' but that's not what spark is about. I also was expecting to see either spark 3 or at least an update with VCol5 but was disappointed too, it's one of the reasons i held off purchasing, that and the huge amount of bugs i was expecting and subsequently proved right about. If you have to let us down, then please just do it already. It's been too long since Spark 2 had any real updates. However, YOU are the ones who released this software this buggy.īut fix the bugs in Spark 2 for pete's sake. Yes, I realize software development costs money. We deserve bug fixes to the existing software, without additional cost. What gives?Īlso, when (if? ) you do update Spark, for the love of monkeys PLEASE don't simply jump into Spark 3 and expect all of us Spark users - particularly us hardware owners - to cough up a bunch of cash. Plus you've got this iSpark app which seems to get more love than Spark 2 itself. I mean, you're still selling the SparkLE hardware, which obviously comes with the software (which is STILL buggy) Is this going the way of your Origin synthesizer?. and it puts a fear into me about the future of the Spark hybrid system. which is all fine and good and cool and whatnot. Particularly with absolutely ZERO comment regarding why.Īnd then you come out with the hardware Drum Brute. So what is going on? It was rather disconcerting to see Spark NOT in the recent V Collection update. I don't think I need to go into them here. However, as you know, it has numerous pretty nasty bugs.

Fast and intuitive and very very flexible.

When the myriad bugs aren't poking their heads up, it is wonderful software to use - particularly in conjunction with the hardware. I own the CDM controller, and Spark 2 is my go-to drum software. What is going on with the Spark software? This question has been asked many a time, but STILL with no response from Arturia.
