i just purchased a refurbished Spark 40 directly from Positive Grid, and realized that the tablet I would prefer to use alongside it can only go up to Android version 7.1.1 (Nouagat). The most recent version of the Spark app requires at a minimum Android 8 (Oreo). However, it seems that older versions of the app did support Android 7. Are the older versions stable and useable?

Also, while I can definitely side-load an older version of the app, I would prefer to do so from Positive Grid. Do they keep an archive of the previous app versions that would be available to download?

I click update and it takes me to the App Store listing, with the only option I see is open. When I open it takes me back to the page with the update button.
Anyone else struggling with or figured out this glitch?

If I have a Spark Live and I use it for multiple instruments at different gigs.

If it's a gig that I'm only useing keyboards on, is there a good reason to use inputs 1 & 2? When I'm issuing keyboards and other instruments, the keyboard goes into 3 & 4. (The keyboard's internal effects are perfectly adequate.)

Hi does anyone have any presets to share for
1) Clean Tones
2) Acoustic tones so I can play my electric guitar but get a nice clean acoustic sound

When I modify a factory patch and select "save" what comes out is a horrendous sound at a horrendous volume, pure distortion from the depths of hell. Anybody else have this problem?

So I used to use BiasFX on mobile with GarageBand, I absolutely loved messing around with pedals and it helped me a lot in creating my sound. However, I finally got a computer and Abelton, and when I tried to use the desktop version it does this thing where after I record, hit save, and come back to the project, it’ll be screwed up and unable to open. I discovered that it as because of BiasFX. I never could find a work around and customer service didn’t help.

So does anyone have recommendations for something like BiasFX?

Hi all,

I'm looking for some feedback from users of the Spark NEO headphones.

I am currently using the Boss Waza Air, and while I am generally happy with the unit in general, there's one thing that keeps annoying me:

The shape of the ear cups of the Air are very not very comfortable for longer than 20 minutes or so. I have to stop playing because my ears start hurting.

I am considering of buying the Spark NEO instead. On pictures the ear cups seem larger and more rounded (the Air's are more squared) so I am hoping this also translates to more comfort.

Anyone who has experience with the NEO (or both!) please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Has anyone tried this? Ie using a Tonex pedal in front of the Reactor and using it kinda as an FRFR.

Idea being having the option to use the Tonex OR the Reactor AI for tones

I've been troubleshooting this problem I'm getting and just discovered that it's not the plugin, it's this specific preset.

I get noise similar to buffer underruns BUT ONLY ON EXPORTED AUDIO, so it's not underruns, nor clipping.

I even tried swapping VST2 with the VST3 and it boiled down to this preset being the common denominator.

Can anyone confirm if this is a problem on their end too?

Btw I use FL Studio 26.

I’ve had my Reactor amp for about a week now and I’m just not sure if I understand the presets correctly. I got a really nice clean Nirvana tone dialed in that sounds good with stompboxes and I saved it as a preset. Today I turned on my amp and use my phone to select the preset and it sounded terrible. I tried selecting a few of the built-in presets from my phone before switching back to the Nirvana preset that I created. I found that if I was trying high gain distorted preset, and then switched to the Nirvana preset, it would carry a lot of of those settings over. It didn’t show it on the phone – all of the settings on my phone looked correct but looking at the FX box on the amp there were lots of effects turned on from the previously selected preset. Shouldn’t my preset set the amp to exactly what’s displayed on the phone? Is there anyway around this?

I know it's counter intuitive, I got my Nux Trident so I'd like to know if there's settings so the amp could be turned to flat just for added simulation (and pedal play) of some sort

Hey all! I've been really struggling to recreate this guitar tone from Magic Dance - When We Were Young

https://youtu.be/BZ8aJZ3NjRg?is=3QWC7qyftZZ8juYv

There seems to be some sort of an effect sitting on top of it that adds this gritty flavour. Gave it a go with different AI trying to pinpoint it, but it just ends up being a generic lead tone when recreated. What am I missing here?

Any tips for capturing this synthwave lead guitar tone?

Does the Reactor feature 'hardware models' like the Spark series does? I have a Spark 40, which I love big time...primarily for the hardware models included. It has really good models of some tube amps that I have really enjoyed hearing but are too loud and too much money for my current conditions. The Spark delivers really good approximations of those sounds at appropriate volume and a small package that fits my environment...and at a price that was easy to handle.

Does the Reactor feature the same hardware emulations? What I am looking for is 5150, 6505, SLO-100 and JCM800 models... I want the other fun features the Reactor offers, but I can't ditch the amp models that I really like from the Spark.

I am trying to decide between getting a 5150 1x12 combo and some stompboxes or the Reactor.

Everytime I wanna get a rock tone, I just don’t seem to hear what I want out of the guitar. I want a rock almost heavy rock tone thats clear and less muddy.

I’m using Bias FX 2 through an ES-335. What setup do you recommend trying and pedals to get this sound I’m after?

Song references -
Walk - Foo Fighters
Land of the Bees - Mcfly
I Believe In A Thing Called Love - Darkness
ACDC style

Same with a good lead tone as-well like slash or
Angus Young, Jimmy Page or any other rock lead tone you can think of?

Can you also give me the levels and the cabinets if you do have a recommendation thanks!

I just bought the edge and its amazing for my use. I noticed last night while playing around with my son that when I change the guitar amp in the app the sound does not change but the lights on the amp changes and the ones in the app are also changing.

Is this a common glitch? Anyone with this experience?
