PreSonus Atom Production Pad Controller

Intuitive and easy-to-use, ATOM is more than just an expressive MIDI pad controller, it’s a production and performance controller as well. Play virtual instruments with 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads; navigate your session without looking at the screen. Wherever inspiration takes you, ATOM lets you focus on the music.

Tight integration with Studio One® and Ableton Live music production software gets your mind off the screen and back on the beat; flexible control of virtual instruments and real-time triggering of samples and loops using 16 full-size, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads send polyphonic aftertouch, channel pressure, or MIDI CC messages, plus 20 buttons and 8 assignable pad banks; includes Studio One Artist, Ableton Live Lite, Studio Magic Plug-in Suite, and a custom-curated MVP Loops library.

Capture the beat whenever and wherever creativity strikes with PreSonus®’ ATOM. An intuitive, musical, MIDI pad controller, ATOM’s 16 dynamic, ultra-sensitive pads will give you all the expression you need, whether you’re making a beat, creating a driving synth bassline, or triggering sound effects and loops on the fly. Use the 4 programmable rotary encoders to automate levels and filter sweeps. Transport controls let you stay in the moment while producing. Tight integration with both Studio One® and Ableton® Live means that you stay inspired without missing a beat. Your focus will be off the screen and on your performance—where it matters most.
