Arturia has introduced a time-limited, limited-quantity pricing promotion for its SPARK Creative Drum Machine, its highly-creative hybrid hardware/software performance instrument.

Arturia Spark

From November 1 to December 31, inclusive, SPARK’s street price will drop from €499.00 EURO to €399.00 EURO and $599 USD to $399 USD. So what do you get for those sensibly-spent nickels and dimes… and cents? A whole lotta rhythm? Absolutely! And users need not be a slave to the rhythm, that’s for sure!

Quite simply, SPARK Creative Drum Machine revolutionised hands-on beat-making upon its June 2011 release by cleverly combining analogue synthesis, physical modelling, and samples with the intuitive workflow of a hardware drum machine, as well as offering in-depth control over the sounds of the 30 classic analogue and digital drum machines it so successfully captured.

Since then, SPARK Creative Drum Machine has benefitted from no less than five updates, offering an array of powerful new features, including 16-step tuning mode (available from pads and steps); MIDI out to host (with drag-and-drop export); choke groups (to naturally mute instruments); Oberheim SEM V filter; 19 shortcuts; tempo ++/– for DJs; FX pad latch control; five sample modes; five new FX; MIDI clock in/out (to synchronise hardware instruments); undo/redo; enhanced jog wheel modes; roller/triplets… the list goes on! And the onboard library has healthily increased in size by a staggering 280% to 1,620 instruments/110 kits!

Truly there has never been a better time than now to reignite rhythmic creativity with SPARK Creative Drum Machine… and make some serious savings!

SPARK Creative Drum Machine is available to purchase for 399 EUR / $399 USD until December 31st, 2012.
