Arturia has released Hardtek Essentials, the latest Expansion Pack for use with SPARK Creative Drum Machine and SparkLE controllers, combined with SPARK 2 drum machine software for Mac and PC.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

Drawing upon the collective hardtek talents of international creative collective SP23, Crystal Distortion (a.k.a. British electronic music producer Simon Carter), Ixindamix, and other former Spiral Tribe sound system members, Hardtek Essentials encompasses everything from heavy techno to pure sonic mayhem. Moreover, it includes 30 kits (spanning techno, hardtek, drum ’n’ bass, and hardcore techno stylings, plus more besides); 480 new instruments (instrumentally expanding the SPARK 2 sound set); and 960 customisable pre- programmed patterns. Packing dance floor-filling killer basses, leads, one-shots, and effects to boot, Hardtek Essentials is ready to rip apart any sound system!

The AAX-, AU-, and VST2.4-compatible Hardtek Essentials Expansion Pack is available to purchase as a boxed version for €29.00 EUR/$29.00 USD from any authorized Arturia dealer or online as a boxed version or download directly from Arturia.
