To help you get started with Virtual Guitarist SPARKLE 2, here are the answers to some frequently asked questions:
Where can I find the styles from SPARKLE1 in SPARKLE2?
- All the Style phrases of SPARKLE2 have been designed from scratch. They are completely new and unique.
- The styles of version 1 have not been integrated yet.
- There may be a few similar styles but all in all the V2 styles are different compared to V1.
- We might add the V1 styles in a future update of VG SPAKRLE2.
- You can however create your own styles or tweak the integrated styles by using the MIDI drag and drop feature and the Instrument Mode of the plugin.

Will VG-SPARKLE2 work on my computer?
Please have a look at the following article: System Requirements Overview
What about the original SPARKLE V1?
- SPARKLE2 and SPARKLE1 can co-exist in the DAW.
- SPARKLE1 will however not be available for sale anymore, as it has been discontinued.
- If you bought the plug-in in the past, you can still use it and download it from your UJAM account.
- So to summarize, SPARKLE2 replaces SPARKLE1 in our shop, but not on your computer. That is also the reason why "SPARKLE2" appears just as "SPARKLE" in your UJAM account, just because SPARKLE 1 can't be purchased anymore and it will soon be forgotten.
- Here's how the new SPARKLE 1 and SPARKLE2 should look like in your account:
- We know this might be a bit confusing but now you got it!
Will the other Virtual Guitarists get upgraded too?
Yes, we plan to release version 2 of the other VGs in the near future.

Is there an option to Drag and Drop MIDI?
Sure! VG SPARKLE 2 features MIDI drag and drop, giving you way more possibilities for quick arranging and to fine adjust and alter phrases. If you drag and drop a MIDI file into your DAW, because of the plugin’s internal MIDI handling, you might have to manually adjust its length, this is especially true for Intros, Fills, and Endings.

Are there any known issues?
Yes, there are a few:

SPARKLE2 has the appUUID of IRON 2 which causes SPARKLE2 to replace IRON2 ONLY in the application view on Windows (it doesn't replace the actual plugin)
- "Humanizer looseness" and "Swing" have been strongly limited for a tighter playback
- Some exported MIDI phrases will have an unwanted long, empty ending
- The sample status loading indicator is not always displayed
- Some dragged phrases differ from playback mode (mostly phrases from C2 to D#2)
- Pro Tools: default preset loads with a disabled Finisher/Stomp Box
