Get ready to switch your creativity into overdrive. When you're at the helm of Spark, you've got a massively flexible (and unbelievably good sounding) drum machine ready for you to cruise in any musical direction. Thanks to its combination of analog synthesis, physical modeling, and samples, the Spark covers the sonic spectrum of drum needs. You'll find classic 808 and 909-style sounds in here, as well as authentic-sounding acoustic kits. Dub to techno, house to hip hop to R&B, the Spark is ready for it. And thanks to its smart and intuitive lay out, you'll be making great grooves in no time. Onboard the Arturia Spark, there's a 64-step sequencer. And you can use the eight velocity-sensitive and pressure-sensitive pads to program it. There's also a slick touch-sensitive FX pad onboard, complete with Repeat, tape, Reverse, Strobe, Pan, Mix, and multiple Filter effects. And with real-time automation on all parameters, you can pull just about anything off with the Arturia Spark.
