PreSonus - ATOM
Production & Performance Pad Controller
Express YourselfThe PreSonus®’ ATOM is an easy-to-use, musical, MIDI pad controller, featuring dynamic and ultra-sensitive pads that give you all the expression you required when you’re making a beat, creating a driving synth line, or triggering sound effects and loops on the fly. Seamless integration with both Studio One® and Ableton® Live allows you to stay inspired without missing a beat. Allowing your focus to be off the screen and on your performance where it counts.
Completely bus-powered by USB and small enough to carry in your backpack with your laptop, ATOM is tightly integrated with Studio One and Impact XT. Impact XT is a powerful pad-style sampler with 16 pads, each with its own pitch, amplifier, and filter controls, all editable using ATOM, so you can make instant adjustments. ATOM is more than just a pad controller as it allows you to quickly add virtual instruments, change presets, create loop points, control the Studio One transport, and more. Thanks to this, you can create dynamic performances and fast paced productions.
Amazing Features
• Trigger loops and effects and play virtual instruments with 16 full-size, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads
• 4 programmable rotary encoders and 20 assignable buttons; navigate and set more parameters faster
• MIDI Keyboard mode, Note Repeat mode, and Full Velocity mode to customize instrument control
• Pressure switchable between MIDI aftertouch, channel pressure, and CC messages
• Selectable pad velocity curves and pad pressure thresholds
Get In The Groove
Studio One Software Included Studio One Artist music production software comes included with ATOM, allowing you to compose, record, and produce without getting distracted by the tools or stuck with track limitations.
Easy to learn and intuitive to use, Studio One’s unique drag-and-drop workflow and powerful tools allow you to produce with an impressive workflow.
Also included is a carefully curated loop and one-shot library custom-designed for ATOM by the hitmakers at MVP Loops. If you need more, Studio One lets you shop, audition, and purchase new content directly from your production environment.
Live In The Moment
Deep integrationAlthough it's compatible with most third-party software, ATOM provides deeper integration with Ableton Live (version 10.1.5 and later). Launch clips and scenes, change track volume and panning, and switch between Session and Arranger views all while playing virtual instruments and Live’s Drum Rack device using ATOM’s 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive pads.
Add another ATOM to your setup and use one ATOM to perform and the second to launch and record clips. Two or more ATOM MIDI pad controllers can also be combined to extend the performance range for your instruments and Drum Rack. Any customer purchasing an ATOM after October 20, 2019, gets a free copy of Ableton Live Lite added to their My.PreSonus account.
