ARTURIA – SPARK CREATIVE DRUM MACHINE – USER’S MANUAL

- Configure the Spark track (the right track in the image below):
. Set ‘Midi From’ to the new Midi track (2 MIDI in this example)
. Set Monitor to ‘Auto’
Press the Record button in Live. Note that the Host and Tempo buttons must be
activated in the Spark LE plug-in window.
Display the Arrangement view in Live (press Tab) to confirm that you’ve recorded some
Midi notes.
Set Monitor to ‘In’ on the Spark track
Set the Spark LE Host button to off (this means that pressing the Play button in Live will
not start the Spark sequencer anymore)
Press Play in Live from the beginning of your arrangement. You should hear Spark
playing notes previously recorded from Spark and now sent by Live.
Note: For Cubase users: use Menu > Devices > VST Instrument to load Spark LE in
order to be able to select Spark as a Midi source. Creating a VST instrument track will
not display Spark as a Midi source.

Recording MIDI out to an audio units host (AU)
For more precise timing, we recommended not using both of the “Send Midi” Preference
options at the same time: First record Midi from the pads by setting the “Send Midi from
Pads” option to Yes and setting “Send Midi from Sequencer” to No, and then record Midi
from the sequencer by setting “Send Midi from Pads” to No and “Send Midi from
Sequencer” to Yes.
- Launch ‘Audio MIDI Setup’ to configure the IAC Driver that will be used for sending
Midi data to the AU host. Double-click on the IAC Driver Icon in the MIDI Studio view
