Any news around this?

yeah! ... I want to use my spark - at the time its in the case

Yes! At least fix existing Major bugs! Or try! Or tell us something. We don't care about ANOTHER company entering the audio interface market. Can you support your product, Arturia?

If no major update is provided soon, it's time to move on to the upcoming korg electribe sampler.  The bugs in the Spark software inhibit my productivity. It is an outstanding system if it didn't have so many major bugs/flaws.  I wish I could lend a hand to the developers.

HI , please be patient ,as i'm sure you will see some of the bugs fixed in the next update . no date as of yet given to when this will be.

I understand there are other products and new lines to work on and wouldn't have expected a update this soon but sparks really needs some attention

I have patience do arturia have enough DSP engineers that's the question

Hopefully we will see a RC by march

Wouldn't change this little box for anything, just putting a little pressure, thanks terrym for replying.

using it everyday on all productions, but it feels a little clumsy still, so many little things and bugs that could be improved to make a professional machine.

2.1 came out, it seems to have fixed a bunch of bugs from what I can tell.

[kickwizard]

Well they answered my question 

Yes they do have the DSP engineers

Not only updates but two new synths 

[019297]

Arturia, thanks for the update, we were getting a lil restless.

[jsmirk]

Oddly, some obvious ones still exist.  I'm working on some bug reports that I will post shortly. In concept, this is one of the best groove sequencers out there. Props to the product manager who dreamed this up.  However, the development phase has really stumbled. I am holding out sincere hope that now that we've seen a major event occur with Software center after 6 months of near-silence, there are some resources available to start putting the finishing touches on Spark. At the very least to identify and fix existing bugs, then move on to enhancements and new features. Someone please tell me i'm right!

The update fixed a few annoying things so far. The browser is better, my kits seem far easier to find and organize. Also, it hogs up far less CPU on cubase as a VST. It used to 100% my cpu load bar and crash constantly. It's semi reliable now.

[kcearl]

software still doesnt follow the step sequencers numbering...the most basic bug thats been around since version 2 came out...still not fixed

my $99 went to 9 expansion packs for maschine instead of V4, sorry arturia but Im not spending another penny on your software until you fix this

[kickwizard]

Things are moving forward though

I would rather have more frequent updates that are WIP than long gaps with a few more bugs fixed

I might be wrong but more user feedback is put into the development process this way

ASC hasd been designed to solve this issue

As i company i believe there doing there best to support there products

In concept, this is one of the best groove sequencers out there.

It is a experimental and pioneering instrument

Thinking out the box produces wonderfull things but also creates difficult problems

They have to many products for the size of company they are.

The little cliche, to many pies, not enough hands.

Think about... all those controllers, products and different DAWs and evolving tech to test on. Eventually you have to deprecate older products and maintain the new ones. It just seems like Spark 2 got the shaft before it was even released back in April (I was helping with the public beta testing).

I wanted to think positive about this product but 6 months for a minor bug fix release means this product got really no development time out of the whole from the programmers, they were working on other things.
