One of the most versatile and powerful pad controllers out there is ATOM by PreSonus. Its USB bus-powered platform gives you the ability to take it anywhere. And not only that, but you take it anywhere with minimal effort. In addition, it enables you to produce right out of your backpack with your laptop. Moreover, ATOM has a deep integration with Studio One and Impact XT. The latter is a great pad sampler with 16 pads, paired with its own pitch, amps, and filter controls. These are all editable, which makes everything supereasy and fast to adjust anything in a swift. Think about it: add your virtual instruments, create fabulous loops, change presets, and more. All this aids you in finding a dynamic workflow in your studio. In addition, with ATOM, you can become a versatile live performer when you’re out on the move.
ATOM by PreSonus: Characteristics
ATOM is compatible with the majority of third-party software. However, it offers great integration with Studio One and Ableton Live. For example, you can trigger clips and scenes and play virtual instruments. Similarly, you can change the track volume and its panning—even more so with this great pad controller. With ATOM you can extend your performance range by connecting another ATOM. Another option is to define each pad to perform different tasks. For instance, you could have one pad setup to perform live, while another one triggers live clips or records. You can do even more than this if you let your imagination fly.
ATOM is as intuitive and expressive as a pad MIDI controller can get. It definitely is a production and live performance companion. Its ultra-sensitive pads let you express yourself, which results in a magnificent playing of virtual instruments. Whether you’re making a groove or beat, designing a synth line or using it as to trigger sound effects, samples, or loops the ATOM by PreSonus is a great addition to your creative musical carrier.
