iSpark is an all-inclusive beat-making solution allowing to create rich tracks from A to Z while experiencing an unequaled workflow. It includes a large variety of drum kits and individual instruments based on the most renowned drum machines and top-notch sound design. It is the result of a simple recipe, care for rhythm, innovation and uncompromising ergonomics combined with the personality of the greatest drum machines. What you can do with iSpark: iSpark allows you to play drum patterns in-real time and to tweak your sound on-the-fly. Its optimized and performance-oriented layout gives you a direct access to an extended range of sonic parameters. It also integrates a powerful and flexible 64-step sequencer enhancing your creative freedom and effectiveness. iSpark unites our multi-rewarded TAE® technology coupled with a modular engine and crystal-clear multi-layered samples. Beyond drum and percussive sounds, iSpark blasts the frontiers of beat-making through a range of singular sonic effects, warm analog synth textures and melodic elements. Details: Main screen The main screen is all about performance. Its layout, inspired by our SparkLE controller, gives you immediate access to a comprehensive set of fundamental controls and parameters. Its lower part allows you to play and record your drum patterns in real-time, step by step, to jump between your patterns and to set their length. Mixer In the mixer, you can adjust the volume and panorama of your instruments, set two individual effects for each of them, and modify the sending levels to the return effects. The VU meters help you to balance effectively your instruments. Studio The Studio is the iSpark laboratory of sound. This is where you will customize your kits and all the instruments that compose it. For each instrument, you can choose the samples that are used and adjust a comprehensive list of parameters. Sequencer In the sequencer screen, all the steps of your different instruments are right in front of you. You can thus create your sequences in a flash. Besides, the automation tool allows you drawing modulation curves with a simple glide of your fingertip. Song The Song mode gives you the possibility to chain your pattern in order to create a whole performance. Organizing your song is as easy as a drag-and-drop. Switch to “Perform” and discover two large XY modulation touchpads that will bring your songs to life. Connectivity: iSpark offers a total and seamless compatibility with the existing Spark environment. Maintain continuously your creative flow by transferring in a heartbeat your projects, patterns, your kits and individual instruments between Spark 2 and iSpark.

    Does not work, no support dec 2021
    This app won’t even run anymore. Nothing changed, I didn’t install any new apps or system updates. I was working on some tracks in aum with ispark, now it’s dead in the water. It worked for a few years, but still has uncorrected, show stopping bugs. I love arturia, but i am sorry. The ios apps are just lazy. Show more

    iSpark is TOTALLY AWESOME AND RADICAL for MIDI BUDDIES
    There’s nothing that can be said or experienced with iSpark as both a part of a bigger group of virtual (or actual) midi machines speaking to each other and letting us listen or as a standalone MPComputer that can string along complex sequence arrangements with real-time recorded automation given to every parameter in each triggered sample as well as both of the assigned effects, which can make your sequenced drum patterns go from - boom boom bap, , ba boom boom bap, passstzz (x8) to bitabing loba loba, bitabing loba swick ck ck cckk ch ch BOOOOOWWWWWWWW puck BOOOOOOOWWWWWWW puck, bitabing loba loba schweee schweee … or equivalent. Any of the minor quirks, crashes, or the strange way that you have to navigate the hierarchy of folders in the sample libraries are just that - minor. You can load anything you want as a sample and do a limited amount of editing from within the app, with the added ability to stack up to 4 layers per pad that can be triggered in different ways (stacked together, velocity [think of dividing the pad into 4 horizontal pieces], round robin) which i have found is complete over kill unless you are using dynamic samples of a single source. I have become pretty attached to the AKAI MPC format and approach to writing after many years playing the drums and guitar, but I gotta say that for iOS the only other app that does anything close would be iSPARK. I use it to broadcast live in AUM along with lots of other noisy friends(apps) who are all eating off the same midi plate and are looking for dessert. Show more

    needs a lot of work
    This is a tool with a lot of potential, one thing I notice is that there are sound artifacts when you start to change the parameters, there are awful glitching sounds sometimes when you change parameters, one reason I wanted this is to acquire more drum sounds and potentially make massive songs it does that, but at the same time it’s not recording worthy if there are going to be little glitch pops and sound artifacts that you have to edit out, I can confidently work on the Electribe wave app and know that I will potentially have something to record later on, it’s not a high quality finished product if there are audio pops and sound artifacts all over the place, the beatstep pro is a fantastic machine this app does not exemplify the excellent work Arturia is capable of, please improve this app Show more

    Arturia why have you abandoned iSpark?

    Arturia inter-app instruments
    I bought this app under the impression that it could access sounds from the other Arturia instruments that I have purchased individually. They all sound great, but are very difficult to export for sound sources to recording applications. This was what I thought would be simple, obvious feature and was really hoping for it to work as I expected. The Link and Bluetooth connections do nothing I can use. What I got was a pretty good drum machine (of which I already have 5 or 6). I will definitely update my rating if this feature is implemented in a future release. Show more
