Product Description
Capture the beat whenever and wherever creativity strikes with PreSonus' ATOM. An intuitive, musical, MIDI pad controller, ATOM's dynamic, ultra-sensitive pads will give you all the expression you need, whether you're making a beat, creating a driving synth line, or triggering sound effects and loops on the fly. Tight integration with both Studio One and Ableton Live mean that you stay inspired without missing a beat. Your focus will be off the screen and on your performance - where it matters most.\n\nFully bus-powered by USB and compact enough to ride 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 via ATOM so you can make adjustments on the fly. More than just a pad controller, ATOM also allows you to quickly add virtual instruments, change presets, create loop points, control the Studio One transport, and more, allowing you to build dynamic performances and blazing fast productions.\n\n\nProfessional recording software included - Studio One 6, Artist Edition, is a great way to start recording and a powerful entryway into the Studio One universe. Users can upgrade to Studio One Pro when they're ready to take their game to the next level. Compatatible with virtually all macOS, and Windows. \n\n\nIntuitive and easy-to-use, ATOM is more than just an expressive MIDI pad controller: It's a production and performance controller as well. Use the velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads to play your virtual instruments live, with incredible expressiveness. Navigate your session without looking at the screen. Automate filter sweeps with four responsive knobs. Wherever inspiration takes you, ATOM lets you focus on the music.

The pads are very responsive (true to what reviewers say about them), they also have polyphonic aftertouch and it's really fun combined with the amazing sounding instruments in studio one.

Negative:I ordered an item and i realized some pads are not working and over sensitive and some pads are triggered even when i press bank, like other push buttons. updated firmware and still it didnt resolve the problem. i checked the manuafacture date and it was 21XX something means made in 2021 even now it is 2024.i have requested a return and i received a new item within a one working day. The new item was manufactured in 2023 and the above mentioned problem was not there..Possitive:i am fully satisfied with the all features and usability and workflow. Now i am using this even in my mixing sessions as well :) :) i use these knobs to control third party plugins. ex: compressor threshould, gain, mix like most comonly used controlls. smooth and works with almost all third party plugins.feeling of pads are also great and fun to play..

This might actually be a great MIDI controller.... that is if my DAWs would recognize it. I use Ableton and Reaper, NOT Studio One, which this overpriced paperweight is designed for. But it should still work as a USB MIDI controller. Right? RIGHT???? Nope. Already troubleshooted with both DAWs, downloaded their Universal Controller, which also wouldn't recognize the controller. I attempted to contact Presonus. Unfortunately, their customer service is terrible, and they just want to sell me crap, and refuse to acknowledge there's a problem with their product. I will not be buying anything from Presonus again.

The material might feel a little cheap, & I wish the entire thing were white, instead of only the bottom piece, but you won't find as much bang for your buck anywhere else. When it comes to Studio One integration it's flawless, although S1 is the most stable DAW out there when it comes to device integration. I believe this comes with a copy of S1 Artist, but it's very limited compared to the professional S1, which you can upgrade to from this for only $299, which is the absolute best price you find anywhere on any pro DAW, but it's also one of the very best DAWs. The workflow is amazing.

I have different music software and hardware but for Studio One, this is the best choice.If you plan to not use the mouse much, and rely on a single device to make music and also control the software, this one get pretty close to that.Pros: it is very integrated with Studio One of course, so you can expect a lot of facilities and shortcuts. It is not that hard to remember what everything does, even if you have a couple of features per control.On the cons side, it is not that useful beyond Studio One, as there is no clear way to set up what each control does, like you can do with a Maschine Mikro for example; so you are stuck with whatever CC was set for the controls.If that is not a problem, the pads are great for finger drumming and overall it can be used as drumpad device and companion to a standard keyboard. I use it also in Cubase and Ableton and it works to an extent, but as mentioned, you won't be able to do any advanced operation unless you use Studio One.

Installation sans problème, achat seconde main amazon pour la première fois. Super content il est comme neuf, voir photos.Quelques jours d'utilisation et beaucoup de tutos pour maîtriser, je recommande ce produit pour les utilisateurs et utilisatrices de studio one.Seule remarque qui ne concerne pas l'article, la livraison posé sous ma boîte aux lettres, le long d'une départementale !Pour la première fois je suis très mécontent de la livraison. Pour un produit de cette valeur je prendrai un point relais.

Os produtos da Presonus são de alta qualidade e excelente acabamento, e, este Multi Pad Control ATOM, não poderia de deixar de ser.Além de ser prático e intuitivo, vem acompanhado da DAW "Studio One Artist" com vários plugins proprietários; plugins VST e VSTI e compatibilidade com arquivos SoundFont.Pontos fortes:Design e acabamento.Pads são bem confortáveis de usar e a sensibilidade é bastante precisa.Note Repeat (até 32 triplet). Muito importante!Controle total no Studio One, além de configurar esses controles em outra DAW.AftertouchPonto fraco:Poderia ter uma fonte externa para alimentação, mas não deixa nada a desejar.

The PreSonus ATOM is the first MIDI pad controller I've ever used and it took me a few YouTube tutorials and 3 days to get through the learning curve but once I did, I found the ATOM to be relatively EASY to use! With it, I can turn an idea to a full song QUICKLY and arrange and edit on the fly. I like that it's fully integrated with Studio One 4. Just download the software and link up with the Universal Controller (found at the PreSonus website) and you're done. The pads are multi-functional and assignable - I can create my own template. The touch response is great and the colors are bright. I find the functions quite user-friendly. From the unit I can open a track, assign an instrument, record it, loop it, set the tempo, duplicate or delete it, quantize it and more - all without touching the mouse! I really like that I can use my M-Audio Oxygen 25 keyboard with it too. It's compatible! Once I learned the ATOM, it quickly became my new sidekick in the studio.This also comes with Studio One 4 Artist (which I use) and LOTS of high-quality kits and samples by MVP Loops.I highly recommend getting the ATOM/Studio One 4/Interface/Mic bundle.

I just unboxed my new ATOM today after work, and it is currently downloading all of the optionalrecommended content. I did the firmware update immediately, as strongly recommended. After installing the Windows driver, I powered up my Cubase. My primary intention at the time of purchase was simply to use this as a pad controller, primarily for use with drum sounds using Groove Agent 5. I haven't dived into any advanced features of the ATOM itself, or played much with the included Studio One (though I did install it, and plan to test it more once I've downloaded all of the goodies). It does seem to function just fine as a simple MIDI pad controller. The 4x4 pads on the ATOM match perfectly with the 4x4 pads on the Groove Agent's VST kits, and playing from the pads is much more fun than using the keyboard. I used a lot of old school drum machines in the past (Like the Alesis SR-16 & DR Rhythm DR770). What I wanted was the feel of using an old hardware drum machine when creating my beats. Thus far, it seems to be money well spent.I am curious to see (once the additional content is downloaded) if I can use that sound content within Cubase as VST soundsinstruments. If so, I will consider this the bargain buy of the decade for my music equipment collection.I was initially cautious about purchasing this product because I've been able to find virtually NO information online or reviews from customers using anything other than the Studio One software with the device. That worried me, as there is virtually no chance that I'd replace my Cubase with Studio One as my primary DAW. First & foremost, I was interested in using the hardware at a very basic level of functionality, primarily for Groove Agent. That seems to work for me without any problems at all.Stay tuned for a more in-depth review once I've gotten under the skin of this machine a bit more.
