Spark 2..

[foRUMS 4 punkdISCO]

I sold my original Spark controller and don't miss it.  I was completely
frustrated with loving the synth engine yet only being able to access 3 of
the 6 engine parameters at any one time.  Staring at the 35 knobs knowing
that they could only access 3 of the params at once was just mind bogglingly
stupid!

I now have the V Collection which includes Vintage Spark (VDM).  I can
upgrade to 2.0 for 69euro which is a no brainer and I will do it once I
decide about the below:

SparkLE (with hardware controller) is 199euro until the end of June.  As
mentioned, I found the previous controller a waste of time.  The new
controller still only allows you to control 3 parameters at once but at
least now there are 3 sound knobs so you are not left screaming "so many
knobs yet so little control!!!"

Im digressing..  Yes, v2 looks fantastic.  Spark is an incredible old school
feeling drum machine.  AndrewT compared to a Tempest (which I also owned)
but to me, Spark is far better that the Tempest, both in interface and in
sheer analogue sound..

Bugger..  I really don't need another drum machine..
