If you're fixated on replicating the feel of stand-alone drum machines, the SparkLE won't quite do it you must keep an eye on the computer screen for many operations. The SparkLE is a slender slip of a thing compared to the first model, but the most obvious operational difference between them is the new machine's lack of display. The blue backlit buttons are the only possible source of uncertainty, being slightly spongy, but they're only slightly more so than those of my Korg ESX1, which have lasted for years. With a footprint that's smaller than a sheet of A4 paper and without the ungainly plastic legs of the original, the SparkLE is compact and robust. Seeking to trim off that 'almost' and to lighten shelves and laptop bags everywhere, Arturia have combined the same wide resource of beats and percussion with a cheaper and more petite controller.

Its size represented either the spacious, ergonomic drum controller of your dreams or a challenge to squeeze in somewhere, but, sonically, the cool collection of modelled and sample-based kits was almost irresistible.
ARTURIA SPARK VINTAGE MAC SOFTWARE
The Spark was large, knobby and brought tactile performance to the purely software environment. Having already given the world a range of modelled analogue synthesizers, adding a drum machine to the family made perfect sense for Arturia.

In many ways, Arturia's Spark 'Creative Drum Machine' was a logical extension of previous controller/software partnerships. It's cheaper and more compact - but does the Spark spirit remain? Arturia have pared down their hybrid drum controller.
