Title: SparkLE - Connection failed / VST Instrument - Cubase 5.5.3
Post by: lenoxx on July 28, 2014, 07:05:16 pm
Hi folks !

I'am experiencing SparkLE connection failures with Spark Software when using with Cubase 5.

Sometimes the error code is.......I should do some MIDI Settings in my Sequencer to connect Software/Hardware.

What MIDI Settings ? I don't get it...   ???

Standalone is working. Latest Firmware etc. are installed.

Yes, I'm using a USB Hub....but Standalone is working.

Any step by step instructions for Dummies here available ?  ::)

Thanx a lot !

Please check that you're running the last version of cubase 5. (Cubase 5.5.3 i guess)
Check that you have audio when clicking on pads.
In MIDI port configuration remove Sparkle as MIDI input or output.
Remember that Spark is not listed as compatible with this version of Cubase. It has not been tested so...
I've been testing it for you and i manage to connect my SparkLE with the soft with no problems.
