Brilliant but needs tweaks

Great system, which I use multiple times a week.
Spark Go: on button is really annoying. Press and hold takes too long. A traditional On/Off button would have been better.
The until takes multiple times to connect to blue tooth.
AI drummers great ideas but the patterns are dull.

All great - then came 4.5.3

Loved Spark App, I use it with 3 different Spark hardware products. Stable, flexible and fun. But: I upgraded to 4.5.3 and now: crashes when you use AI tone generation and refuses to connect to hardware. So now I have 3 useless bits of hardware, can’t play in my band. I hope it gets patched soon.
