SparkLE ships with a decent array of sounds including samples of classic Linn and Roland Machines, acoustic kits and more besides.
It's also worth noting that you can also use the software in standalone mode without having to use your DAW. However, it's all detailed in the well-written manual. "SparkLE ships with a decent array of sounds including samples of classic Linn and Roland Machines" The only pain is that the initial set-up takes a while on a Mac, involving cabling in Logic's environment and the set-up of the IAC driver in Audio MIDI Set-up. You can also drag and drop MIDI info (and export audio) from SparkLE into your DAW and send it to other MIDI instruments. This worked well and you can reassign the dials and pads to whatever MIDI functions you require using the MIDI Control Center application.
To test the MIDI controller capabilities, we hooked up the SparkLE controller to Motu BPM via Logic in order to trigger BPM's sounds. Overall, a feeling of quality flows throughout the SparkLE and it's important considering its low price point. The buttons and eight square trigger pads are made of translucent rubber, feel good and are backlit just like the MPC studio and DSI Tempest. The dials are made of an inviting, soft touch plastic and feel as though they will stand up well to plenty of abuse. Made of tough textured white plastic with a metal bottom, the controller is well made and we actually prefer its compactness to the original. It's a shame they missed the shuffle (swing control) off the hardware but the swing itself feels great. The neat looking USB powered sparkLE controller has been logically laid out and mirrored exactly by the SparkLE software. wav samples on a pad (with several trigger modes) but any sample chopping will have to be done in other software before importing. Electronic kits covering the most popular modern music styles: EDM, Dubstep, Hip Hop, RnB and Pop, etc.This is a significant advantage over the Akai MPC Studio, though SparkLE is designed to be more of a dedicated drum synth and thus doesn't offer the deep sample manipulating and chopping facilities the Akai has.10 emulations from Spark Vintage Drum Machines: CR-78, Mini Pops 7, Ace Tone FR-2L, Yamaha MR 10, Maestro Rhythm King MRK2, Boss DR-55, E-mu SP-12, Roland TR-727, Roland R-8, Casio VL-Tone and SK-1.Vintage drum machines: analog emulations of the TR-808, TR-909, TR-606, Simmons SDS-V, and Eprom-based Linn Drum, Drumtraks, DMX, Drumulator and more.Pristine quality sound engines including: TAE® analog synthesis, physical modeling, and multi-layered samples provided by our top-tier development partners.
