Title: Spark 2.0 Beat Patterns
Post by: mnawara on June 02, 2014, 06:23:18 pm

hi, i just downloaded and upgraded my SparLE software to Spark 2.0.
Since then, i cant playback any beat patters of the presets. When i press the play button, instead of playing the patter, it only plays the first kick drum and stops.. any suggestions?

Did you export your projects prior to upgrading?

You then know that you have the previous version library if you need to go back.

Need a bit more info please. Are these your user presets or the normal kit set that is installed? Can you create a brand new kit, does it play?
Does it affect your user presets and the factory kits, or just one of them?

Thanks, Stuart

You must configure your audio midi settings in setup menu and select your sound card.

That may be the case if no sound was heard but if only certain parts of the kit were only coming through, it may be to do with having certain pads patched to different outputs.


Best to test with main 1-2 output before configuring multiple outs

Thanks, Stuart

Please check you "MIDI Clock Sync" preference in the "Audio MIDI Settings" window.
This is the symptom when it is set to Slave but not receiving any clock.
