PreSonus ATOM SQ

Product Description

Description

The ATOM SQ by PreSonus is a versatile performance and production controller, ideal for creating hip-hop, EDM, or something in between. A staggered 32-pad layout makes it instantly recognizable as both a keyboard and a TR-style step sequencer. Deep integration with included Ableton Live Lite and Studio One Artist gives you a complete production toolkit right out of the box.

ATOM SQ is all about creating a groove while in the groove. Just set up a couple of loop points and bang out your beats and melodies on the fly, without getting bogged down in kludgy menu dives, setup, or configuration. The staggered layout ensures that both keyboard players and drum programmers will be right at home, and the pads’ pressure sensitivity allows for truly expressive performances. The eight assignable rotary encoders can be mapped to control nearly whatever you like, and RGB LEDs in the pads make for gorgeous, intuitive color-coordination of your samples and loops. Studio One Artist and Ableton Live Lite are included, so you’ll be making beats on day one. Its bus-powered, portable design means you can create nearly anywhere.
