When using Spark Creative as a MIDI controller, the data flow from the controller will be sent on the USB public port to the host, as well as to the MIDI OUT port, adding itself to any other existing MIDI information. All messages sent to the Spark Creative controller’s physical MIDI In port by an external device will be transmitted to the host software internally by the public port. These are the public ports that are available for your applications to use.Īll messages sent to these ports will also be sent to the Spark Creative controller’s physical MIDI Out port. On Mac: “Spark Public IN” and “Spark Public OUT”.On Windows Vista, 7 and XP: “Spark Controller”.The second set of MIDI ports will present these labels to your computer: Telling the host software to use these ports would impair the efficiency of the controller. Note: These MIDI ports SHOULD NEVER BE USED by any application they are used for internal communication between SPARK and the Controller. Sequencing, performance and sound design are all intuitively handled from the hardware, while in-depth tweaking and processing can be managed in the plugin. On Mac: “Spark Private IN” and “Spark Private OUT” The Arturia Spark is a hybrid drum machine pairing a hardware controller with Arturias Spark 2 software drum machine.

On Windows Vista and 7: “MIDIIN2(Spark Controller)”.

The first set of MIDI ports will present these labels to your computer: Mess with any sound using Sparks modular sound design tool Modular sound design. The Spark controller is displayed within a host application as consisting of two sets of MIDI ports. The drum pads are used for triggering both drums and song chains, these are the heart of spark Arturia Spark 2.
