Arturia spark with windows 7
« on: December 31, 2013, 08:36:39 am »
Hi,
I have purchased Arturia spark drum machine. It works fine with my mac on logic pro 9. But I want to run it on my windows 7 as well. I installed it on my windows 7. The software works fine but when I try to connect the hardware machine it shows that "connection failed".

Please help.
Thanks,

Rohan

Hi,
are you using Spark inside a DAW?

In windows 7 I want to run Spark in Cubase 5

As I can properly use Fx Pad, Which I am unable to do in logic pro 9.

Hi,
your problem is that the DAW (Cubase/Logic) is opening the communication port that Spark is using to discuss with the controller.
The symptom is not the same on Windows and Mac but the problem is the same.

Look at this screencast for Cubase and this one for Logic.

What is the problem in standalone, not connecting?
On Windows or Mac?
Do you have a DAW running when you start the standalone?

I am asking this because if Spark software is well connected to an audio card (i.e does not make sound), it wont be able to connect to the controller.
Same thing if there is a DAW running when you launch the standalone, because it might have opened the communication port used by the software to discuss with the controller.
