## Description

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. From the Manufacturer Tight integration with Studio One and Ableton Live music production software gets your mind off the screen and back on the beat; flexible control of virtual instruments and real-time triggering of samples and loops using 16 full-size, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads send polyphonic aftertouch, channel pressure, or MIDI CC messages, plus 20 buttons and 8 assignable pad banks; includes Studio One Artist, Ableton Live Lite, Studio Magic Plug-in Suite, and a custom-curated MVP Loops library.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I already own studio one 4 pro, is there a way to buy this for less without the software?**
A: Buy from Amazon warehouse... It most likely won't have software(already registered software).

**Q: Is there like a cross fade between pads? I wnt to try to use this for my worship team at my church.**
A: No.  I am not sure how you are trying to use this.  But if you are triggering songs, you will still need a way of controlling the volume.  I assume you would be running this through a mixer.  So my recommendation is to use your outboard mixer to fade in and out.  If you are determined to use this that way, you could also just edit your songs for a fade out.

**Q: Can you program the pads to work without a computer?**
A: This is a computer peripheral. Not a standalone unit.

**Q: Does this product come with a downloadable link to Studio One artist or is it the box like the picture shows?**
A: The ATOM just comes with the unit, a cable, and a basic instruction manual.  What you should do is register with PreSonus after purchase.  When you create your account, you'll get a downloadable link to Studio One Artist and additional content.  Head's up - in total, there is around 7GB worth of software & content to download.  IF you plan to use the Studio One Artist software, I think you'll find everything that you need to get started there (though I have not tried it personally.  I downloaded all of the software, but haven't really used it much at all, as I'm a Cubase 10 Pro owner).  From videos I've watched, and the little bit I've read, the promoted software looks interesting, but if you're already using something more serious, like Cakewalk, Cubase, ProTools or whatever, I'd say don't even waste your time with the downloads, other than the ATOM driver (I think that was one of the downloads...).  In my setup, I'm just using the ATOM as a straight pad controller, and the only buttons that matter to me are the 4x4 big ones in the center of the unit.  I may find more use later, but for now, this is just a perfect hardware extension for me to play my Groove Agent drum sounds from, as it perfectly matches the Groove Agent on screen GUI.
