Quick Jam

Quick Jam is a set of ready-made backing tracks that use the same audio engine as Smart Jam, but with preset chord progressions and grooves — no chord recording required. Just pick a genre and start playing.

Before you start: Connect your Spark amp to the Spark app via Tone Control and Bluetooth Audio.

Android — First-time Setup (Sound Libraries)

Android devices need to download sound libraries before using Quick Jam and Smart Jam. Selecting a Quick Jam genre for the first time will prompt the download. You can continue to use other app features while the download runs in the background — it will resume automatically when you return.


How to Start a Quick Jam

  1. Go to the Music page in the Spark app.
  2. Scroll the Smart Jam / Quick Jam banner horizontally to reveal the available genres.
  3. Tap into any genre to start the backing track:

    Pop
    Rock
    Funk
    Blues

Switch Designed Tracks

Each genre has multiple designed tracks with different chord progressions and grooves.

Tap the left / right arrows next to the genre name at the top of the page to switch between tracks within that genre.


Edit Chords

  1. Pause the track using the pause button.
  2. Long-press a chord on the timeline. Drag the selection edges to include multiple bars if needed.
  3. Tap Edit Chord and pick your desired chord.
  4. Tap Apply to change only the selected section, or Apply to All Parts to change every section of the song.

Settings

Tap the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the Quick Jam page to adjust:

  • BPM (Tempo) - fine-tune the playback tempo.
  • Bass - toggle the bass track on / off.
  • Transpose - shift the track in half-step increments, up to a maximum of an octave up or down.
  • Reset to default - restore the track to its initial default state.

Changes auto-save: Any adjustments you make to a Quick Jam track are automatically saved and reloaded the next time you open the same Quick Jam.


Quick Jam vs Smart Jam:

  • Quick Jam - pre-designed backing tracks with preset chord progressions. Just pick a genre and go.
  • Smart Jam - AI drummers listen to your chord progression and generate a backing track that follows what you play.
