I'm looking to do the same.  What I've found so far is that if you go to 'PREFS' in Spark you can select General MIDI as an option in pad map model.  This gets you some of the instruments but some are missing e.g. kick I'd expect on C1 but it isn't.  I have yet to find a way to change the mapping for this.   ???  In fact the kick doesn't seem to respond to any key so even if I remap with MIDI control centre I don't know what to map it to.   :-\

Doh!  Found it at B0 which is GM for acoustic Bass Drum.  If you transpose the Keylab 49 down an octave you can find it.  I'll make a template for Keylab pads, should be straightforward.

If anyone else is looking for something similar this might help - this is a KeyLab 49 map for Spark.  I've set it so the pads follow the Spark layout.

Please adjust the velocity settings per pad to suit your own playing style!

Or another way is just to use midi learn:
6.7.1 Assign a MIDI note to pads
Click holding [Cmd] on Mac / [Ctrl] on Windows on [Pads] #115 to #122 and press a button or key on your MIDI controller.
