ARTURIA – SPARK EDM – QUICK START
21
3.6 64 BIT COMPATIBILITY
Spark EDM is optimized for both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. If you have a 64-bit
operating system and a 64-bit digital audio workstation, you should use 64-bit version
of the plug-in (for Windows).
Usually on 32-bit Windows, all 32-bit programs are installed in C:\Program Files.
However on 64-bit Windows, you can find the 64-bit programs in C:\Program
Files\ and the 32-bit programs in C:\Program Files (x86)\.
Mac users don´t have to bother with this, because the same plug-in file contains both
the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions, and the host automatically chooses the better one.
3.7 PLUG-IN MODE
For specific use in VST, Audio Unit and RTAS please refer to 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 sections.
3.7.1 Toolbar Extra Buttons
When using SPARK EDM in Plug-in mode, the toolbar features 2 additional buttons:
1.
Host button
When on, the current Spark EDM pattern will start and stop along with the
Host sequencer transport.
2.
Tempo button
When on, the current Spark EDM tempo will be set to the host tempo.
3.7.2 Saving project
When the project is saved, SPARK EDM is saved in its last mode of operation, with all
modifications intact. For instance, if you are working on a project in which you have
modified parameters (without saving this as a separate preset in the plug-in itself), the
next time you open the project SPARK EDM will load the project and the modifications as
well.
The drop-down menu with the VST sequencer, allowing you to save a new project, is of
course usable with SPARK EDM. However, it is highly advised to use the SPARK EDM’s
internal menu: the presets saved in this way are usable in any other mode (standalone
or with another sequencer), and can be exported and exchanged more easily, as well as
remain compatible with future SPARK versions.
