PreSonus ATOM Production and Performance Pad Controller
Overview
Description
Produce beats, play virtual instruments, and trigger sound effects and loops with unsurpassed expressiveness and flexibility! Both a compact, dynamic performance controller and a tightly integrated production environment, PreSonus’ ATOM pad controller and included Studio One Artist production software let you create and perform with ease. The most versatile pad controller in its class, ATOM is compatible with most music software and lets you perform and produce with virtual instruments and trigger samples and loops in real-time, using 16 full-size, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads and 8 assignable pad banks.
ATOM connects to your computer via USB and is compatible with most music production and performance software but it is absolutely amazing when used with PreSonus Studio One. ATOM and Studio One integrate tightly so you can create quickly and easily. Enjoy blazingly fast, professional-style workflow with ATOM’s navigation, editing, and loop-point-creation features and transport controls.
ATOM puts you in control of your music production software. Trigger loops and effects and play virtual instruments with 16 full-size, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads. Eight assignable pad banks let you, for example, assign your entire virtual drum rack to each pad within each bank. MIDI Keyboard mode, Note Repeat mode, and Full Velocity mode enable you to custom control your instruments. And with 4 programmable rotary encoders and 20 assignable buttons, you can navigate and set more parameters faster.

If you use this with Studio One, it is an incredible piece of kit. The construction, while plastic, feels really solid. The pads are sensitive, though I find the rubber a little bit on the sticky side. The endless controller knobs feel weighty and expensive. The integration with Studio One is the high point. You can work almost mouse-free, and treat it a bit like an MPC. The workflows are fast, intuitive and there are plenty of resources online to learn. Normally I have to spend a lot of time getting the hardware and software to work together, but with the ATOM and Studio One, it just worked.Read more Read less
