You need to pair with Spark 40 Audio before you use the app. The amp uses two types of Bluetooth connections (Bluetooth Audio Spark 40 Audio and Bluetooth Low Energy Spark 40 BLE). A common issue is that either the app backing tracks come through the amp but changing controls doesn't work or vice-versa.

Install the correct app on your mobile device (phone/tablet), connect to the amp using Bluetooth. The real flexibility of the amp comes from using it with the app. You can use the amp without the app but functionality is limited to the basic controls on the amp itself.

#Positive grid fx models android#
Users of Android 7.0 have previously managed to get the app to work but this is not guaranteed especially as the app receives updates which may make it less compatible. On Android, the app is currently supported on Android 8.1 and higher. Apple no longer allow app updates to devices which do not support this version of iOS or higher, so if you have an old device (iOS 12 or lower) you will no longer have app updates. To use the app on iOS/iPhoneOS/iPadOS you should have a device capable of running iOS 13 or higher. You do not have to pay to use the spark app with your amp, so if something is asking for money you've gone to the wrong place. People with recent Chromebooks with Google Play store may find they can use the Android App.Ĭonfusingly, Positive Grid also make a music tuition app called Spark Edu which is a subscription service that is no relation to your Spark amp. There is an unofficial community app developed Desktop app called Soundshed, for Windows, macOS and Linux, which can be used to control the amp, manage presets and browse video backing tracks etc: There is currently no offical app for desktop computers (Windows or mac OS). You can install this app even if you don't have your amp yet: The amp is not generally available in stores currently. Customers ordering today can expect less wait time. Most original spark amp orders were pre-orders via the Positive Grid website.
