The Spark is a rhythm box is software with a hardware controller.

Regarding the characteristics, there are all the details on the manufacturer's website.

Construction is serious and inspires confidence. The pads are very good and very pleasant to the fingers.
The installation and operation is very simple standalone and does not break problem.
I installed it in under Reaper VST. Works well except for some fairly high latency times. I have not yet found the cause, to dig.
The interface is very intuitive. The interface is well thought out and within minutes you forget the technical side to make only sound.
And in case it hangs on something, the manual provided (in real paper please!) Is clear and there are easy answers to our questions.

There is a beautiful palette of sound banks that sound! Be somewhat lacking one or two banks more acoustic.
At the creative level, there is plenty to do. They just add their own sounds and create their own banks.
Each instrument can be filtered, pitched, breaded, etc., etc. .. and individually.
The mixer allows you to add effects such as compression, delay, crush, distortion etc. ...
I found particularly effective especially integrated compressor to create Kick pêchus.
I love the FX pad that allows the application of reverse effects, tape, strobe, etc., live.

I use it for three months.
Previously I had tried NI Maschine.
The most:
-The creative possibilities and sound quality of banks.
SAV-A real answer for that.
-Solid construction.
Cons:
-The inevitable use of the mouse (right there ... I quibble).
The Spark is a execllente machine and this choice I would do without hesitation.
