What is Spark?

Ultimate Drum Machine

Spark 2 is arguably the most powerful and creative drum solution available today. It takes the best elements from analog drum machines, sample-based beat boxes and cutting- edge physical modeling; all of this is rolled into one easy-to-use, elegant package.

Exceptional Workflow

When designing Spark 2 a simple, intuitive workflow was one of the highest priorities. The brand new user interface builds on the best parts of the previous GUI and improves the overall experience by providing a simplified, more elegant solution. The new tabbed layout drastically reduces scrolling and provides the user with faster access to all the features contained in Spark 2.

Hybrid Solution

Spark 2 includes an extremely powerful audio engine which contains multiple synthesis modes. The included sample engine provides advanced sample playback capabilities in an easy-to-use package. Spark 2 also includes multiple physical models, which were developed with great care to deliver the best in acoustic drum sounds. At the heart of Spark 2 is a truly modular virtual analog drum synth, based on the engine developed for our flagship synthesizer, Origin.
