I suppose they will release updates and my guess is that they will charge for the upgrades. Positive Grid Bias Fx v1.5. No RCA outs on Spark to external speakers? What i was not sure about was how many of the effects that i have in my Bias FX were included in the Spark? This thread seems to indicate that at this point, Spark has a greatly diminished selection of effects compared to Bias FX. I saw that someone had hooked the Spark into his speaker monitors which i think just used the headphone jack as the out. I bought the Spark because it sounded pretty cool and eliminated the need for the focusrite interface.

Also, BiasFX always defaults to channel 1 and I have to manually change it to channel 2 or none of the effects will work. The main downside here was that there was no Bluetooth connection between the ipad and iTrack Solo so i have to use FocusRite propritary lightening connection wire. I have my ipad hooked into an iTrack Solo from FocusRite which then feeds into 2 speaker monitors. It is the main way that i play my guitar. I have been using Bias FX on my iPad for several years.

Spark is Great but when it comes to recording sounds it's a pain.Spark rely on its own system and it's quite "closed" I've tried to figure out how to record using a DAW and it does record as a matter of fact but only your guitar playing (not the virtual drummer nor music at all, I guess for copyright reasons.) But it's the best thing ever invented for practicing with you guitar with great guitar sounds and at lowr volume! Yes, It's exactley how Jonathan just explained. If you want a more robust solution, probably Bias FX along with good computer monitors would work better. Positive Grid has kicked off 2021 with a massive sale too. It gives you access to thousands of potential new tones and makes recording at home, on your Mac or PC, a cinch.

I think Spark is mainly a practice solution. I’ve written at length about my love of Positive Grid’s BIAS FX 2 software.For me, it is one of the most useful tools a modern guitarist can have. You can't use bluetooth pedal boards with Spark either. I would like more customization but for now I am happy. So far I like that Spark is very easy and convenient to use. If i use Bias FX with a computer monitor, it's hard to tell how much the difference in tone can be attributed to the difference between the monitor and the built in speaker in the Spark. It's hard for me to compare the sound because Spark is sounding through a built in speaker.

Please note, our upcoming BIAS FX 2 update will no longer support macOS 10.11 (El Capitan). It can run under offline mode after activation and disable Tone Cloud.

Bias FX has a lot more customization, whereas Spark has a more limited selection of effects. An Internet connection is required to activate the license and access Tone Cloud, Positive Grid Desktop products don’t support offline activation at this moment. Said in Spark vs Bias I have used Bias FX in the iPad and have the Spark Amp.
