Has anybody tried Arturia's Spark Drum Machine program , it crashes every time I try to use it in a song.
I have mentioned it on the Arturia Spark forum and it would appear other people are having similar problems with other sequencer software. It's a pity because it looks like an excellent instrument. I got it an an upgrade for the V Collection which also included the Analog Laboratory & The Wurlitzer Electric Piano (which are also very good). A possible problem with Spark is it appears to be using a lot of power and my CPU meter is showing 25% - 34% with just Spark Running.
The only work around I have found so far is to record the drum parts as wav files and close Spark and then load the wav files into the sampler.......

Re: Arturia Spark Crashing In OrionI've seen this reported in Arturia's forum and Kevin saying they needed to get Orion to look into the issue.
(btw, I don't have Orion.)
Re: Arturia Spark Crashing In OrionYes I think that was Kevin replying to my message, he's away for a few weeks holiday now so it looks unlikely there will be a fix for a while, it's a problem with Spark I think, something to do with how much of the CPU it's using even when it's not running.
It's a good piece of kit (or at least it will be when they get it fixed). There is a work around for the time being saving the drum loops to wav files and then loading them into Orion's Sampler.

Re: Arturia Spark Crashing In OrionIt works fine with Ableton Live, which doesn't surprise me because it's one of their most tested target hosts, which in turn, may explain why it doesn't work reliably (or at all) on Orion since none of the beta testers owns Orion.
Maybe, if you have the time and inclination for beta testing, could suggest Kevin (when he's back) to help them out with testing the newer Spark version with Orion. btw, I've also used the drag'n'drop wav into ReCycle to use the .REX version of Spark patterns in Reason So it's a very valuable Spark feature, how easy it is to render to audio those patterns. So you're able to use it as Standalone at least, right?
Re: Arturia Spark Crashing In OrionI tend to run everything in Orion so I don't use any of my plug in's in stand alone mode (although it does work OK ) for the time being I will save the files to WAV and run them in the Sampler, this is my preferred and at the moment only option, I have Ableton Live Lite (it came with my Alessis Q25 keyboard) but I have not used it much because after using Orion Platinum for so many years I find it hard to get my head around other sequencing software.

Re: Arturia Spark Crashing In OrionWe gave Arturia a license for Orion 8 to look into this problem

Re: Arturia Spark Crashing In OrionSparks appears to causing problems in a variety of sequencer software. I tried an evaluation copy of Windows 8 and the issue has resolved itself. Whether it returns when/if I go back ton Windows 7 remains to be seen.

Re: Arturia Spark Crashing In OrionI have reverted back to Windows 7 because I don't like the layout of Windows 8 and guess what ? The problem is back... I'll be interested to hear from anyone else using Spark VDM if they are having similar problems, it runs ok whilst the program is running but once saved and then re-opened it freezes and crashes Orion.
