Hi,
I will investigate this but if you are an Ableton user I strongly recommend you to use the VST version of Spark.

I'm just curious as to why this is?

It seems that the VST protocol is better implemented than the AU protocol in Ableton.
Plus there are things like MIDI recording that are easier to do in VST than in AU (you have to use IAC driver).
