SparkLE standalone vs Ableton VST ...
« on: December 30, 2015, 07:37:29 pm »

Just hooked up my new SparkLE controller and installed the software. Everything works perfectly in standalone mode; however, as a VST in Ableton Live 9, my controller doesn't connect to Spark 2. I tried at least 3 "fixes" I found here in the forums, but it's a no go.

Was wondering if anyone can she any light? How can I make Ableton/Spark 2 see the controller?

Thanks!

Check that your SparkLE is not connected to Live in live preferences.
Check that you have audio out by pressing pads on Spark2 gui.

Hi
Did you manage to get your Sparkle controller connected to Ableton Live if so please can you pass on to me how you sorted it, I'm having the same problem.
Thanks

I have had the SparkLE for 6 months now and I have never got it to work as a controller in Abelton. It just refuses to connect the Spark software with the hardware. I have tried everything. Basically the hardware is useless as a controller.

I don't know if this helps, but my spark LE controller has issues with a different usb cable. I went back to the factory white cable and I have had no issues since. It used to randomly drop connection with me mid performance because I used a longer, right angle. darker colored usb cable. The white one drives me crazy, but I guess I have to use it!
