Jumping back into the Main screen there are some cool performance controls to be found, including a looper/roller section that lets you create stutter and release effects with simple taps, and an X/Y pad that allows you to draw in quick bursts of effect including filtering, repeat and a very enjoyable tape drop with multiple speed options.
Sample editing, with the Connect controls seen along the top. You can also switch to viewing larger pads, a step input mode and a tuning selector for any of the drum or synth sounds that make up a kit. Initially you’ll fire up one of the presets and play about with the multiple banks of patterns that come with each one and are accessed using the row of controls along the bottom. There are five main sections of which the first is the “Main” screen from where you control a lot of the performance. Nonetheless it’s remarkably fully featured. The look and layout of iSpark is very similar to the desktop version though it leaves out some stuff like the modular section, probably because of power requirements. Watch this overview video of Arturia iSpark: That’s down to those being the earliest devices with 64-bit CPUs. In yet another demonstration of how seriously developers are taking the iPad as a platform, it’s a highly competent and powerful app and as such you’ll need an iPad Air, iPad mini 2 or higher to run it. Spark is the drum series and includes both desktop software and advanced hardware units and these are now joined by iSpark, an iPad-based version of the drum and beats production tool. Arturia has moved far beyond its early days producing software recreations of classic synths and now has a substantial lineup of unique software and hardware products to its name as well.
