Personally I don't find the ability to manipulate multiple pads at once in realtime a necessity.
#Arturia spark vs sparkle Pc
I would argue that because you are going to be using the hardware with a pc there is no real need for a LCD screen as you are going to probably look at you pc monitor anyways. Just by looking at the two hardware size and available knobs and screens, it is no contest that SparkLE is the junior Just like MK2 and Mikro are the little brothers of Maschine Studio.Ĭlick to expand.With the exception of the ability to tweak multiple pads at the same time the SparkLE offers an identical feature set and even offers a dedicated tune function. And no manufacturer would make the mistake in promoting an item for months with such a gaffe if they meant otherwise especially with a less expensive price tag.

I mean, by default and industry standard in labeling "LE" stand for limited/less. However, it is also very obvious and apparent that hardware wise from feature standpoint and built, this is NOT an upgraded version of the original Spark. So, maybe the term should have been 'another version'. I may have used the wrong term "downgrade" here to categorize the new hardware I'll also admit that I don't physically own any versions.
#Arturia spark vs sparkle upgrade
So, truly, if ones already is comfy with the original, they get a beefy upgrade too. The real upgrade comes in Arturia 2 the software, which is backward compatible with the original. But again, it is choice that Arturia offers here, not an upgrade per say of the original hardware. Now, of course, just like you pointed out about certain things you like about the LE, a potential new customer can still make their mind and choice in choosing the LE based on form factor and knobs placement, which usually is the deal breaker for maximal workflow. Just by looking at the two hardware size and available knobs and screens, it is no contest that SparkLE is the junior Just like MK2 and Mikro are the little brothers of Maschine Studio.
