Description

ATOM SQ PRESONUS HYBRID MIDI KEYBOARD

Modern musicians, artists and producers need to move quickly from programming drums and samples to playing synth lines and back again. ATOM SQ is designed as a versatile and expressive MIDI path controller for contemporary music production. Its unique design is optimized for both classic TR-style 16-step beat sequencing as well as drum pattern editing in Studio One or playing instruments and launching clips in Ableton Live-but the staggered and RGB-lit 32-pad configuration is instantly familiar to anyone who has played a controller keyboard. Advanced features allow you to change the keyboard's scale, and with the built-in arpeggiator and user-configurable touchstrip, the ATOM SQ is the most expressive controller you will ever use. In fact, it is the best PreSonus Studio One MIDI controller available.

Its deep integration with Studio One's Pattern Editor creates evolving step sequences that bring your productions to life. Insert a pattern, change its length, add new variations and change the scales to the right of the ATOM SQ. Do you want to make changes immediately? With ATOM SQ you can open the Studio One Pattern Editor, select and edit steps individually and even copy, paste, duplicate and delete events, all using tactile controls. You can create compositions faster than ever with the built-in step sequencer in Studio One and ATOM SQ. It's quick and easy for anyone who knows how to program a drum machine. And you'll find that experimenting produces particularly rewarding results, because ATOM SQ can limit your performance to the scale of your choice. No more wrong notes!

With the Studio One Artist music production software included with ATOM SQ you can compose, record and produce without being distracted by the tools or trapped by track restrictions. Easy to learn and intuitive to use, Studio One's unique drag and drop workflow and powerful tools allow you to produce faster than ever before. Also included are two carefully saturated loop libraries with custom Impact XT kits. New in version 5: With Studio One Artist you can now use your favorite VST and AU plug-in effects and third-party virtual instruments. You now also have full support for Studio One Remote to use as a second screen or as a remote for Studio One on your iPad® or Android™ tablet. And with ATOM SQ, you get the most flexible PreSonus Studio One MIDI controller available.

ATOM SQ is also a unique Ableton Live controller designed for production and live performances. You can launch clips and scenes during a performance, select devices and edit parameters, navigate through tracks and scenes, adjust the volume of each track, pan and send levels - plus do all your drum programming in Ableton from the ATOM SQ! Ableton Live Lite is included, so you can start creating right away. It comes with all the essential workflows, instruments and effects of Live - everything you need to record tracks, create hands-on with your controller, bring music created in your apps further and much more.

ATOM SQ is highly configurable. The MCU and HUI modes plus a powerful MIDI mode let you control your favorite DAW or virtual instrument with ease. You can freely adjust the parameters of your instrument to different hardware controls, so your rotary encoders can control everything from filter cutoff to drum tuning, for the ultimate drum programming experience. You can color in the RGB LEDs as desired to encode your loops and samples. ATOM SQ's LCD screen is used to display context-sensitive information and uses a dynamic button system that changes functions depending on the task being performed. Want to add more swing to your arpeggiator or change a controller's CC assignment? The LCD screen displays the functions you need exactly when you need them for the task at hand.

ATOM SQ is more than just an expressive path controller: you can navigate through many aspects of Studio One without a mouse or keyboard. You will have transport controls to stop, play, record and a special Click Track toggle. You can even zoom in and out on your timeline and navigate between your tracks, all without skipping a beat.
