The most frustrating thing is that Spark does have a lot of potential and could be a serious competitor to NI's Machine.īut they way the things are Spark is barely competitor for anything.

Spark is the most disapointing instrument purchase I've ever done. There are so many features, none of them well executed, some work not as expected, some doesn't work at all. It took more than a year and a half for really serious bugs to be ironed out.Įverything works - kinda. Secrety I was hoping by selling discounted units they'll generate a wide user base which means they will refine and update the Spark software constantly. They push SparkLe units for discounted price, with underdeveloped software which by the way although released not that long ago has a classic 'vintage' 90s look. This confirmes the fact that they are charging 100 € only for the updates of V-Collection. So refining and optimizing the software is not the top priority. It seems to me Arturia struggle to generate income form the software sales.
