Arturia has officially announced the availability of SPARK. Here's what they have to say about it...
SPARK is a highly creative drum machine, combining the intuitive hands on control of hardware with the power and integration of software.
By using analog synthesis and physical modelling as well as samples, SPARK's sound engine opens a new realm of possibilities in drum design. Subtle fine tuning or dramatic transformations are available instantly at your fingertips, making SPARK a flexible and intuitive instrument.
SPARK not only integrates seamlessly into any studio configuration, it is also perfect for live performance, thanks to uniquely designed controls such as the FX Pad with filtering and slicing modes, or the advanced Looper.
Loaded with thirty different kits offering emulation of famous drum machines, virtual acoustic drum sets and innovative sounding beatboxes, SPARK is your weapon of choice to take your music further.
Looks like the fun is back into beat making... now get ready to SPARK your creativity!
