If you’re into contemporary music production, then the ATOM SQ MIDI pad controller is for you. Being a modern musician, producer, or performer means you need to move fast between playing samples and programming drums in a versatile and expressive way. For this reason, the unique design of this controller is perfect for classic TR style 16-step beat sequencing. Not only that, but it’s also perfect for drum pattern editing or even playing your instruments and launching clips in Ableton Live. With its RGB lit 32 pad, you will feel right at home: it emulates other controller keyboards.
ATOM SQ + Your Imagination
For example, set and change the keyboard scales and configure the arpeggiator or step sequencer. Insert a pattern, move its length, and change the scales and add variations. All this means that this MIDI controller is very expressive. You can find complete and seamless integration with the ATOM SQ on Studio One’s pattern editor. In short, it allows you to bring your productions to life, building compositions fast. With its versatile drum machine, you can see rewarding results as it constrains your performance to your own scale.
All the Extras
Included with the ATOM SQ is Studio One (as is the case of the iOStation 24c). This music production software makes it very easy to compose, record, and produce. Additionally, included are two loop libraries with custom impact XT kits. You can connect third-party VST’s and AU plugin effects and also virtual instruments. You also get Ableton Lite, so there’s no excuse for getting creative right away. But that’s not it: you can set the ATOM SQ to control your favorite DAW or virtual instrument and even navigate with its transport control to make your way through without a mouse or keyboard. Plus, since it’s lightweight and with a practical size, the ATOM SQ lets you take it anywhere accompanied by your laptop, making it super easy and flexible to start creating right away.
