Title: BSP and iSpark...
Post by: faster on February 18, 2016, 06:52:21 pm
I have been waiting for a decent Drum machine that would compliment my BSP sequencer...

Well the day arrived  ;) ...iSpark hit the AppStore...but WAIT! It doesn't work with BeatStepPro?

NO, it doesn't  ???... I can use other iOS drum machines with BSP but not one that is made by the same company...what a joke..lol

You really hit an all time low with this one Arturia  :'(

You can use Spark preset in Midi Control Center...this way BSP works great with iSpark !

Sorry, but I don't have a PC available at the moment...If I did, does it mean that every time I want to use iSpark I have to go to my computer and load Spark preset?

You can only change presets through the midi control center...Maybe future update of iSpark can also have midi learn ?

Hi,

just got my BSP yesterday. It seems to work fine with iSpark, as long as you have your drum notes configured properly. If you use the "Spark" config for the drum part, it works straight away!

Arturia really should port the BSP editor to iOS also, would make configuring things much more flexible.

Yes, please!

The developer of iSpark said he and Arturia are looking into adding a "BSP" mode to the app that would configure the pads to work with the default BSP drum mapping. Until then, you could use an app like MIDI Flow or MIDI Bridge to map the incoming BSP notes to the notes that iSpark is expecting.

Thanks Syrupcore, that's a workaround for something that should have been already available.
