    The SparkLE certainly shines bright
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2017*

This is my first Arturia product. Software synths has been something I have always kept away from being that I grew up using hardware machines. However I caved in with the SparkLE as it ticked almost all boxes for me in terms of what I wanted as part of my home studio. The SparkLE is a hybrid and with that you get twice the satisfaction of not only tweaking and tapping out all your favourites drums but also samples. What I was looking for was classic drum machines of the 1970's and 1980's. When you minimal funds and space for such machines then the SparkLE from Arturia is the nest best thing, and I am pleasantly surprised at just how good and versatile the machine and software is. The Spark 2 software gives you plenty of drums, beats, classic machines, samples and much more. My main concern was that the SparkLE is not a stand alone machine, it is nothing more than a controller. But you get plenty to control and have plenty to use for control. It fits perfectly into my home studio set-up and I can access the hundreds of samples in seconds and be kicking out beats in seconds. The SparkLE is also very robust, light, small enough while being just the right workable size. It doesn't look or feel cheaply made. After some basic online reviews from other customers I decided NOT to take the Arturia approach on loading the software as too many users have had issues. I for one can confirm that since buying the SparkLE and loading the software without the assistance of Arturia I have had no issues as-of-yet. So what do you get in terms of sounds? Well, in brief, a huge array are at your finger tips. For the classic collectors, like myself, you have examples of the fabled Lynne Drum's, Emu Drumulator, Minipops, Micropops, Roland's classic TR606, 707, 808 and 909 and a good amount of many more classic drum machines of those two decades. Then you have the sound packages consisting of R&B, Hip Hop, Dance, Trance, Electro, Funk, Disco, Latin, Berlin School, Club Classics, Deep House, Industrial, Jazz, Progressive, mixture of 90's and 2000's, Urban and even studio and acoustic... and I am barley scratching the surface with that short list. I must point out that although there is a huge amount you get straight from the box, Arturia do also offer a couple of additional sound sets at extra cost which cover Hip Hop, Rap and Beats. But that is entirely down to the customer if they want to expand their sample library. The SparkLE also lets you create your own samples and drop them in and with the machines TR style sequencer is expandable at your request. I am happy I took that step and picked one up as it will play a major part in my home studio - The ONLY downside to the purchase came from Amazon. I was very uneasy to how I received the product. It came in its factory box, brand new, everything there, but it could have been very easily a different story thanks to Amazon. I was given the box by the delivery driver (sent via PRIME) and the factory box was not wrapped, in any Amazon box or packaging. More concerning was that the Arturia SparkLE box was NOT sealed so the box could easily be opened by anyone, including the delivery company. As I received it BEFORE lifting the box lid is how you see it in the photos I posted with this review. Arturia should have sealed the box, maybe even dry-vac bagged it. But the main fault lays with Amazon. Something to take into consideration if you are thinking of buying.

    Pay no attention to ARTURIA set-up instructions, and this thing is really worth the potatoes
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2016*

Prospective purchasers should know that ARTURIA  will  give totally confusing instructions for software that are NOT inter-compatible and will cause HUGE problems if they are used together. So SPARK LE software will destabilise SPARK 2 indeed obliterate it and vice-versa. Take note of that. Also, the LE software independently installed will not work in total. Sequences will crash and programmes will not load.  I spent hours emailing ATRTURIA, obviously my time is worth nothing to them. Finally between ARTURIA and the retail source (not Amazon), an answer was provided. DO NOT LOAD SPARK LE software, ONLY USE SPARK 2.  And low and behold, it all works fine.Once this had been resolved, the LE hardware controller works well, and is a great asset, albeit that the screen shot is of the SPARK 2 pad controller!!!  The sounds that are output via the software are precise and reasonably good quality.The best for me was the simple way a WAV file sample (of your own choosing and design)  can just be dragged and dropped on a virtual pad, and you have a potential 16 pad bespoke sound sampler. Magically it plays well.The inbuilt mixer with signal processing of a sound output (compression, echo, etc. is also very useful)I only paid 129 UK pounds (now worth a few shekles and a half bag of potatoes after Brexit) for the total deal,  there cannot be anything that currently gets close to the fun you can have with such little cost (well perhaps)..ARTURIA have done very well with this chap, providing you don't pay a blind bit of notice to how they say the system should be set up!

    then you should hopefully be fine. However
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2018*

If you want to use this as a standalone instrument, then you should hopefully be fine. However, recording the pads into a sequencer is problematic. The first 8 pads are fine for MIDI playback, but although using the shift key to change the pads to 9 to 16 plays the right sounds from the pads live, it records the same MIDI note numbers as for pads 1 to 8 (you'd have to manually transpose the notes after recording). The midi support center software doesn't allow editing of pads 9 to 16, so my understanding from Arturia support is that it can't be done - they've passed the information about the problem to their development team - please be aware though that this product has been on the market for a few years now, and nothing has changed yet. Also if I used more than one track with Spark 2, only sounds 9 to 16 played for both pad banks 1 to 8 and 9 to 16. It's a real mess and I'm stunned the product has gone to market like this. The one star is because the unit itself is well constructed and the playing pads are lovely to play - very touch sensitive and great for dynamics and accenting.
