In this demo we cover the basic controls on Sparks and dial in some creative patches from scratch. 0:00 Patch Previews 1:04 Overview 1:54 Getting Started 3:51 Waveshaping & Utility 6:42 State-Variable Filter 8:03 LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator) 11:15 ENV (Envelope Follower) 13:42 Presets 15:50 Patch #1 - Exploring Drive Tones 19:19 Patch #2 - Auto-Swell 20:47 Patch #3 - Harmonic Tremolo 22:14 Patch #4 - Crinkled Tape 24:01 Patch #5 - Wavefolder + Synth 25:45 Wrap Up Features include: Simple interface with intuitive visual feedback. Unique drive circuit crossfades from soft clipping to a west-coast-style wavefolder. Sculpt harmonics with a musical 12dB/octave state-variable filter that lets you shape-shift continuously between filter types. LFO and ENV can be mapped to any knob control or multiple. Mapping workflow uses attenuverters for precise control of the modulation. Morph between LFO waveforms: sine, triangle, sawtooth, square, sample and hold, and random ramps. LFO speeds range from 10 seconds well into audio rate. SPIN shifts the left and right LFO channels out of phase to create stereo movement. Classic, Compressor, and AR envelope style options. Save your settings with 6 onboard preset slots, or up to 32 using MIDI. Full MIDI, CV, and expression control. Internal SID Chip-Inspired synthesizer that you can play using a MIDI keyboard. Free Max for Live device to control Sparks with MIDI in Ableton. Credits: Guitar: Jaak Jensen and Patrick Horigan Drums: Toby Ramaswamy Filming/Recording/Mixing: Jaak Jensen
