Arturia unleashes iSpark for iPad, why you should care.

Posted on by

So below I’ll post the regular press release and info but lets talk about why this release actually matters.Menu

  1. you can use your SparkLE usb controller with this app, that means you have an actual tactile hands on drum machine experience with just a iPad as the processing power… think about this for live shows or that “stand alone drum machine” feel… thats pretty dope right?
  2. its available for iPad air and above… why does that matter? well because it means they are jamming serious power into this app and not letting older iPad units hold it back with lack of processing power. This is a double edged sword because I’m sure Arturia risks missing out sales from owners of older iPad devices. It also means the writing is now on the wall for those of us with older iPads (I currently own an iPad 4 and was hoping to get one last year out of it.)Studio2
  3. the in app store looks to have a promising host of content. Already there are three promising expansions with more to come. I love new sounds at affordable prices.Library2
  4. ableton link is already tested and working along with a host of other sync abilities. very nice to see this app playing nicely in a host of varied environments. Continue reading →

Posted on by

This module is deceptively useful in that not only does it give you the convenience of a speaker being built right into your Eurorack modular. It also gives you the ability to take audio signals in and boost them to synth CV level without distortion so you can use them as modulation sources. very cool indeed. check it out below.

I have been using this App in the lab for a little while now. I notice that when plugged directly in via the iRig midi I have next to no latency and it can be really used to create some wonderful progressions. It’s very flexible in set up and super easy to use. I love it!
