Title: I'd like to run both the Minilab and Spark playing live at the same time?

I'd like to run both the Minilab and Spark live at the same time?  Has anyone else done this - obviously I'd like to think they would be in sync.

Hi.
i also want to know if it is possible to sync the SPARK CDM with the MiniLAB directly without using ableton, cubase, etc... ?
Thanks.

Yes, it works fine. Mostly you just have to make sure, in your DAW, that the Spark hardware controller isn't being used as a general MIDI device. The Spark controller and the Spark software talk to each other in their own way (although you CAN put the Spark controller into a general MIDI mode and use it that way. but then you'd have to map the controller to functions manually)
As to syncing both outside of a DAW .. you'd need an internal MIDI routing app, which are freely available but can be a pain to get set up correctly.
