Spark creative drum machine availability

[markuc]

Hi all, new on forum. I have SparkLE and want to upgrade on "big" Spark. But I can not find where to buy .. can any help me, please (Europe) ? Thank you !

There are a few on ebay although not sure if new. Why it seems there are only sparkle units being produced I am not sure. Have you contacted arturia sales?

Also you may have to cast your net wider as there are units being sold in US for instance here:

Thank you for your answers.

No problem to buy second hand unit on ebay, does not matter if in Europe or US.

I asked new unit by Arturia dealers in Europe and donīt understand, why is available SparkLE only.

Good luck on your search.  Maybe Arturia are working on a new spark controller with nicer display, touch sensitive encoders, and maybe even standalone

Maybe .. maybe not

The spark creative got discontinued a looong time ago maybe 2-3 years ago ,I assume the design changed to please the need for a more portable unit , apart from the size the only functional difference is having 8 sets of 3 rotarys where the le has one set of 3 , oh sorry one more difference the pads light up white on original unit the le has blue lights for the pads, as mentioned above you can only get original unit second hand
