Modern musicians, live artists and producers need to be able to switch quickly between programming drums and samples and playing synth lines. ATOM SQ was developed as a versatile and expressive MIDI pad controller for today's music production. Its unique design makes it the ideal solution for classic 16-step beat programming and drum pattern editing in Studio One, as well as for playing instruments and triggering clips in Ableton Live. In addition, thanks to the offset 32 RGB LED pads, anyone who has ever used a controller keyboard will immediately feel at home. With advanced features such as keyboard key limitation, an integrated arpeggiator and a customisable touch strip, the ATOM SQ is the most expressive controller you've ever had. In fact, there is no better MIDI controller for PreSonus Studio One.

Seamless integration with the Pattern Editor in Studio One allows for variable step sequences that bring your productions to life. Enter a pattern, adjust the length, add variations and edit the key - all directly on the ATOM SQ. Need to make a change on the fly? The ATOM SQ lets you launch the Studio One pattern editor, select and edit individual steps and even copy, paste, duplicate and delete events - all via physical controls. Compose faster than ever before with Studio One's integrated step sequencer and the ATOM SQ. Anyone who has ever programmed a drum computer will find their way around quickly and easily. Experimentation is rewarded with particularly satisfying results, because with the ATOM SQ you can limit your playing to a freely selectable key. No more wrong notes!

With the Studio One Artist music production software included with the ATOM SQ, you can compose, record and produce without being distracted by tools or hindered by track limitations. Thanks to Studio One's easy-to-learn and intuitive drag-and-drop workflow and powerful tools, you'll be producing faster than ever before. Also included are two carefully curated loop libraries with dedicated kits for Impact XT. New in version 5: Studio One Artist now lets you use your favourite VST or AU plug-ins for third-party effects and virtual instruments. With full support for Studio One Remote, you can use your tablet as an additional screen or to control Studio One from your iPad® or Android tablet. ATOM SQ is the most flexible MIDI controller for PreSonus Studio One.

ATOM SQ is also a unique controller for Ableton Live for production and live performances. You can trigger clips and scenes during performance, select devices and edit parameters, select tracks and scenes, control track volume, panning and send levels - and do all your drum programming in Ableton on ATOM SQ. Ableton Live Lite is included so you can get started right away. It includes all the basic Live features, instruments and effects you need to record songs, use your controller as a creative tool, edit your existing productions and much more.

ATOM SQ is fully configurable. With the MCU and HUI modes as well as the powerful MIDI mode, you can easily control your favourite DAW or MIDI instrument. Instrument parameters can be freely assigned to the various physical controls, so you can use your endless controls to adjust every parameter from filter cutoff to drum tuning to achieve the ultimate drum sound. You can set the colour of the RGB LEDs to your liking to colour-code your loops and samples. ATOM SQ's LCD screen displays contextual information, while dynamic buttons provide access to the functions you need. Want to add more swing to your arpeggiator or assign a different CC command to a knob? The LCD always displays the appropriate information for the respective action.
