Moved to arturia Spark(LE)

HI Gstompers,
After a long time meeting Gstomper I finally moved to Ableton and got a Spark drum machine. But Gstomper gave me a great start with these drum machines, and I think is still the best in some way.
I just did t find it much flexible even though it makes great efforts.
For instance the sample switching is too painful (and why such poor selection?), and the audio quality is very demanding on phone resources, so a dedicated hardware should be purchased.
Is still the best in many ways. I even tried to connect it with usb to Windows and route the midi out to Ableton in order to have some functionality, but the sequencer only without sample editing is not very interesting.
My research was geared at controlling the drum machine from multiple midi controllers on my feet, so to have a real time drummer, in addition to guitar, which Gstomper do very well, but then I am a Windows guy and got everything in Ableton (which doesn't make miracles for drumming if it was t for the Spark plugin).
Tried Stochas, Pigments, Addictive Drums, HYseq, the Ableton rack, nothing compares better with the sound and flow of the Arturia Spark.
Keep up Gstomper!
