PreSonus ATOM SQ Hybrid MIDI Keyboard/Pad Performance and Production Controller with Studio One Artist and Ableton Live Lite DAW Recording Software

Love this thing! I've had it for a few months now! If I had a complaint, it would just be that it looks like a toy. But I have no complaints! Once you get it plugged in all the colors and lights make sense. This thing does an amazing job at being everything all at once! The pads are stiff and very responsive. The slider is awesome to get a lot of functions from. Great little addon to my Studio One 7 Pro, and my Faderport 8. I rarely even touch my mouse these days since with both the Faderport and the Atom. All my controls I need are built right in to get the workflow going. There is a bit of a learning curve. But if you take the time to learn it. The flow is super increased.

Quick shipping. Item as described.

I wanted to get away from the mouse as much as possible while producing music on my DAW (ableton). I was skeptical this would make any difference with the workflow but this thing delivers! I have already made a song just by messing out trying out the features that it has.It allows me to scan through and load my vsts plugins and control themIt allows me to adjust and edit my arranger view which for me is the best part. You can control the screen where you want the loop to start and stop. zoom in and out. nudge this nudge that. control my vsts like a hardware device.Its a pure joy to work with!I did have to learn Studio one but I can't believe what I have been missing. Studio one itself is a beast. Overall Im glad I took a leap into the presonus / Studio one field. I tried all the newest controllers with ableton, the new akai apc64 returned it. I felt the apc64 wasnt neccessary and not functional. But this thing out the box was intuitive and I got perfectly clear right of the bat. Anyways I appreciate products that does what it says and does more!There can be a few things but not a deal breaker. Faders and the ability to scan and scroll and load presets from plugins. But thats being picky. This thing is a beast of a midi controller!

it has a steep learning curve and requires some tech knowledge but after use and learning its awesome

The pads are responsive, it doesn't drop notes, and it works connected to an iPhone. There's really not much more I could want. It's portable enough to fit in a laptop bag. It can give you so much versatility if you don't think of it as a keyboard, but as a new instrument that can play like a keyboard.

Integrates perfectly with studio one. Small form factor, use in the studio and on the go. If you have presonus studio one and use mostly the stock plug ins you will love it. Can pack in my back pack with laptop and go portable. If lost or stolen will buy another one.

good pads pressure/senseitivity grerat intergration with studio one 5 pro and up would buy again

Love this, working on projects much more efficiently as well. I would do more business with this vendor as well. This comes with Studio One Artist Edition which is nice to start with! I wish I knew before I got the professional edition to upgrade from there. Keep Rocking On!
