Presenting SPARK Creative Drum Machine

[MegaBadBoi11]

haha im finna get 1 4 ma tite ass beatz hahahahaha!!!!!

[WhItEcHaPeL95]

if that fell of the ledge, id die

[syddiallo]

can this reproduce the sound of a SP1200

[MarkusVisa]

Hi,

Can the sounds be played from a midi keyboard and utilised like a usual VST type set up?

Cheers

Markus

[SuperCock424]

ahaha sounds plastic... the real one... not that sound on the advertsiment...

[dethmongor]

@SuperCock424 maybe you should invest in some beats by dr. dre headphones.

[gsagula2]

@dethmongor ow yeah... it is what you use to make your (beats) lol

cock for you sun!

[gsagula2]

@dethmongor you should invest in a plastic cock if you had already made!

[kumushamusic]

Its $679 @ kosmic sound here in Australia.

[MrBoss149]

i need one

[thomasch28]

yes i need one ....where can i get in india

[wobblewobblewhomp123]

@thomasch28 online!

[ChillOutMaann]

seems kind of pointless, maybe not, i dunno

[oxjhan9]

ORGASMIC

[Ruktiet]

i hve 2 questions: can you use this sampler without using software and can you load up your own samples into it?

[yamacbaysal2]

@Ruktiet

yes, you can do everything

[MysterioEffect]

@Ruktiet No, The sound are comming from the Software, Yes, you can load your own Samples by drag&drop into the Pad's.

[Ruktiet]

@MysterioEffect ok thx

[JPotential]

Looks like a sexy piece of hardware. Shame I have absolutely no idea how to use one or what I would do with one.

I'm talking about the lost city.

[74unicorn]

I would buy it if it were possible:

- triggering percussion sounds from external hardware synthesizers by MIDI

- using external vst drum synths

- using multisamples

In my opinion, Spark is a great controller / drum sequencer which loses much by not flexible software. Hope Arturia will improve it in new versions ?

[IceyHedgehogTV]

What if it fell of the ledge.

[newtonruth]

good job japanese! how much is it?

[TledgEs]

All I can think about is him knocking that shit off the ledge

[nordemoniac]

Is it possible to use it in a normal home studio aswell? I don't have any of these lost cities nearby. =D

[danemrstrm579]

dont drop it :D

[vteccream]

dsi tempest murks this...

[DeejayErez]

How much is it?

[spintonik]

Like many others, I seem also hear something non-analog, non-organic on those demo sounds (although I am sure you can add your own samples if you want). But you guys must remember something - This costs less than half from DSI Tempest, Jomox 888 / 999, Elektron Octatrack and others. It leaves you easily enough money to grab analog drum sound module or sample kit. But just check how fast this is to get beat going, my god!

[BrittonDeJong]

oops dropped it!!

[YuzoTibi]

@krzone81

Why? There is Electribe, Machinedrum and several more stand alone devices which don't need a computer. Besides NI Machine, Spark is unique the way it is. And it is cool. :-)

[jazzlicka]

eff this = machinedrum

[MegaSlippo]

9 people said fuck dr dre i make my own beat

[SUPERSTRANGEUNIVERSE]

i see people leaving negative comments about something you havent even used LOL...you people will hate on it UNTIL you realise the potential. mpc's and sp's are classic machines but theres simply more choice now and more ways to get busy. why is that a problem for people???

[notquitenews]

Maschine, Spark, or MPC?!?!? =OOO

[thimkthimk]

@notquitenews Tempest!

[SappyMorot]

@notquitenews Maschine

[dirt0jumping]

I would be afraid my expensive drum machine and computer would fall of that balcony

[EXSTO1]

mpc forever



[dmob58]

Fuck That

[Galoag2012]

fuck you guys. i'm getting this.

[solofosho]

something doesn't sound organic about it. i did hear one clip that i liked, though.

[BLAZE45]

6 people said fuck it and bought real drum machines

[thevco]

just another midi controller ??

[illumination2006]

@thevco yep :/

[MrMastrsushi]

@krzone81 technology evolved lol. Laptops and programs like fl studio and abelton to make true hardware obsolete. Why pay 2000 bucks for a moog synth when u can just get a vst file on your laptop?

[shonuffLA]

@MrMastrsushi because when that moog synth or bassline drops in the club you will know

[MrMastrsushi]

@shonuffLA lol the majority of people at the club won't really care though. They don't care about what synth made that sound they just want some good music.

[shonuffLA]

@MrMastrsushi the bottom end on a analog synth is what makes the music good im not a gear head and with the mids and hi's theres no prob but i promise you if really want to go for it analog cant be beat

[ChiTownSwift]

can I use this with ableton?

[PoshMop]

a drum machine isn't an instrument.

[SUPERSTRANGEUNIVERSE]

@PoshMop interesting point of view lol

[brocksoy]

@krzone81 thats what i was just thinking aswell

[onnolab]

i just ordered one, time to look for a deserted lost city to play it in, just to hear how the 808 kick sounds with the reverb from the lost city

[henrysour]

which is better arturia spark or korg electribe?

[Napolecon]

I own one, the controller add functionnality to old beatbox and it's so easy to use + now with the add on you can import your own samples so you can do anything you want to.

[DevineStoner]

does it work for like death metal and stuff?

[Munb]

I like products that runs smoosly

[sxemola]

it would be funny if it doped off the edge.

[sentient1705]

@sxemola haha

[DON619ST38]

...i bet skrillex already owns one of these..

i'll stick with the mpc heh.

[TheTweeker79]

Hey look at all those ugly plastic knobs!!

[TheTweeker79]

Ha! I can do this with my electribe and a synth. NO LAPTOP REQUIRED.

[TheTweeker79]

i dont understand this"hybrid" drummachine, it has to be hooked to a laptop to run.? it simply looks like another MIDI controller like MASCHINE.

[DJdarkshadow7]

idk but at the beginning i would not want to be playing that thing on the edge of something that high lol *falls off* oh damn

[eafortson]

@krzone81 I think the idea is to make them upgradeable, less expensive, and expandable. And seeing that 99% of people getting into music these days have a computer, I don't really see it as a problem. I see it as an Evolution. If they had to put a CPU, a HD and Memory inside that device it would up the cost dramatically. Just sayin

[WesslansFilmprod]

@krzone81

your so right.... What happend to ture hardware?

[MRACE474]

aha in a box

[siperdellyeer]

where is the price and where can u buy it?

[nikdudnik]

cheesy

[TheRapboii]

Can u just buy one of these alone or do u have to buy a load of other stuff to get it to work? please!!

[coolshit28]

That's gotta be the dumbest place ever to make music if you get too enthusiastic and your equipment falls off the edge that's £1k down the drain lol.

[chrishouchins49]

wow I must find a way to get one of these!

[44danoc]

MPC BABY!!!! EASY! I ain't messing with this stuff I don't wanna be hooked up to the computer like that. MPC 2000XL ALL DAY!

[MindlessMartin]

I want a full version of the demo track in this... D: it's so good.

[Hitokiri319]

Track ID!!!! and... I NEED ONE OF THESE

[meedily]

@krzone81 I get what you're saying, but...if this were a hardware-only device it would probably run at LEAST $2000. Also, most people that produce electronic music already have pretty capable computers, which make it a perfect place for sound generation/processing.

[archebeats]

@krzone81 got to expensieve and sometimes a bother to load in the car and some people just didn't have the buck to use their hardware and move it around at a every gig, i mean, i totally on your side, but sometimes it's just a great solution for people who wants to start and have 0 budget or a great way to perform in a different way for thoseo who have hardware

[longdivision87]

that's NOT A DRUM MACHINE at all,it's simply a software with its dedicated controller,in my opinion a drum machine should be able to stand alone. I don't like the idea to be relegated to a computer and bring it everywhere i go.In addition,software and operating systems change every 5 years i don't wanna buy something that in 10 years will be obsolete cause i can't run the software on my new computer.I prefer something independent like my electribe that is 13 years old but it still splits the ass

[aikighost]

Can spark play back tempo synced wav loops like ableton live?

[VJFranzK]

Exellent machine, great control surface and sounds. May I have Arturias' permission to film a video review with the hardware and software?

[electrofreak02]

tb303 and 909 rule id rather buy the original hardware than things like these just my opinion not slateing it but the sounds are not the same

[AstrioOfficial]

who the fuck leaves their $2000 dollar macbook on a ledge like that?

[MrRuthlessGamer]

need one of these baby !!

[jo88sip]

how much does one of these even cost

[SildenafilCitrate]

I can't wait to buy one, and perform in a lost city as well.

[HUm4ns]

@SildenafilCitrate XD i lol'd

[krzone81]

I know right .... they might as well call em midi controllers at hardware prices lol

[mattsynth]

@krzone81 You got that right. What has happened to real stand alone self contained instruments.

[mattsynth]

Spark has only been on the market for two months and it already needs a update to fix problems. What is with this company putting out "half cooked" products. I just returned a brand new Origin because it was too buggy and that unit has been on the market for over two years. Arturia has great ideas but they need to make sure there product works right out of the box.

[longdivision87]

Is that the Pit of Saint Patrice in Italy??? Wonderful Place, very fascinating

[thomashay24]

how much

[synthelabo]

NI Maschine is by far more powerfull!!!

[75hilmar]

I'm excited too :D

[jorisverheul2000]

waar kan ik het downloaden ????

[Zkrudriverz]

we all like products that run zmoossly

[ace101guy]

$500-$600 dollars for this bad boy. It does look amazing, and i'd probably buy it if it was cheaper. But for now, i'm still sticking on saving $600 for a Native Instruments Maschine.

[neosavage23]

does anyone know where to get that song that warnecke is playing?

[fionncroke]

its as if a kaoss pad and an mpc made love and this is their synthbaby. does it support vst and can it be used as a controller?

[misstiko1]

goood....!

[OfficialUltrastyler]

WTF!? Who sticks equipment like that, including a macbook that high up on a ledge!?

[phfrixion]

Tested it and it's not cheap plastic, but def. not like my ex 808/909 either. lol

IMHO better layout and hardware than the NI Machine. Some kind of a mixture between the Korg ESX-1 and a vintage Simmons SDS-8 (not soundwise lol). And the knob is kinda "Future Retro"-Style. *gg*

[mrtavladan56]

looks like a cheap copy of maschine

[johnshima1]

looks very cheap and plastic

[xpanderxt2]

@johnshima1 I played it at NAMM. It's a metal case. It is built very well. not cheap and plastic.

[sewa01]

I love the concept of an interface that floats your creative ideas. Its so easy to get stuck in technical obscurities these days.. I've made good experiences with Arturia's Analog Player. The Spark will be on my shopping list shortly!

[allzetime]

cost?



[MrFlyboygully]

a better version of maschine i would buy iot

[CaseyDesmond]

I LOVE MY NEW SPARK!!!!!!! <3

[vivipedraglio]

i want it....

[hanibal207]

Wonderful video. Great team and great product, very cool.

What's this place with the spiral?

[TheRadiophobic]

Easy to make comparisons between this and maschine, however maschine is a sampler similar to the mpc, and this is a drum synthesizer similar to 808 or 909. It looks like fun, but I can't get too excited about something that needs to be connected to a computer.

[nuemerik]

Can this be used as a standalone machine without the computer? I love the layout of the controller. Very electribe-ish!

[TherapyHiccup]

@nuemerik needs a laptop/desktop from what i understand. like maschine.

[nuemerik]

@TherapyHiccup Yah that's what it looks like to me too. In some of the videos they call it a "hybrid drummachine" so I was crossing my fingers that it might have some standalone features too.

[TherapyHiccup]

@nuemerik i was hoping for the same when i heard about it. maybe next time!

[teacee]

@nuemerik  No

[CaseyDesmond]

@nuemerik you need the computer but the device can be used for other drum programs and use in protools/logic/ableton you name it!

[TheReasonableLogic]

@nuemerik If you want a great drum machine without the need of a computer look at the elektron machinedrum uw.

[MarctheDarc]

I really like what i'm seeing and hearing. However it's a rather bold move to move in so close on NIs Maschine on both use and price (eventhough i think i like this better).

And as always i'm personally not much for shelling out that much for computer-related gear as inevitably you'll have problems, downtime and eventually you'll need to get a new computer and each little update poses a risk of rendering all your old gear useless. It's non-computer-dependant hardware all the way for me.

[k0234100]

Once again, I can see that the people at Arturia know how to produce a unique music tool that sounds fantastic. Keep it up!

[Koshdukai]

Nice vídeo, cool to watch! ...and I guess now it's up to people to el the demo, have some fun with the software side of it and try to resist not getting the full package, controller'n'all :)

[mattsynth]

Very cool drum machine. I can't wait to see what artist do with this piece of equipment.
