bullrunner So what is the opinion on the Spark? Anyone using this machine hybrid? Looks like bugs are being addressed by Arturia with recent updates. Seems easy to use. Any issues to getting Spark now?
thanks b
nonobvious Basically it runs on samples - but they're actually really high quality. The main downside is It's a huge CPU killer, and it froze Reaper both times I tried it. Kind of an awkward 3 panel interface, too. Probably only worth it, if you own the machine that goes with it. Kind of a lot of money for that kind of trouble imo.
Styrofoam incredible software/hardware. i highly recommend it
the only problem is eats CPU (for me anyway)
