Modern musicians, performers, and producers need to move quickly from programming drums and samples to playing synth lines and back again. The PreSonus ATOM SQ Hybrid MIDI Keyboard and Production Controller were designed as a versatile and expressive MIDI pad controller for contemporary music production. Its unique design is optimized for both classic TR-style, 16-step beat sequencing, and drum-pattern editing in Studio One or playing instruments and launching clips in Ableton Live—yet its staggered and RGB-lit 32-pad configuration is instantly familiar to anyone who has played a controller keyboard. Advanced features let you change the keyboard scale, and a built-in arpeggiator and user-configurable touch strip make the ATOM SQ the most expressive controller you’ll ever use. It’s the best PreSonus Studio One MIDI controller available.

Control At Your Fingertips

Deep integration with Studio One’s Pattern Editor allows for evolving step sequences that will bring your productions to life. Insert a pattern, change its length, add new variations, and change scales. The PreSonus ATOM SQ Hybrid MIDI Keyboard and Production Controller let you open the Studio One Pattern Editor, select and edit steps individually, and even copy, paste, duplicate and delete events, all using tactile controls. You’ll build compositions faster than ever before using the built-in step sequencer in Studio One and PreSonus ATOM SQ.

A Complete Production Toolkit

Included with PreSonus ATOM SQ, Studio One Artist music production software enables you to compose, record, and produce without getting distracted by the tools or hemmed in with track limitations. Easy to learn and intuitive to use, Studio One’s unique drag-and-drop workflow and powerful tools will let you produce faster than ever before. Also included are two carefully-curated loop libraries with custom Impact XT kits.

Ableton Live integration

PreSonus ATOM SQ is also a unique Ableton Live controller, designed for production and live performance. You can launch clips and scenes during a performance, select devices and edit parameters, navigate tracks and scenes, control each track’s volume, panning, and send levels—plus do all your drum programming in Ableton from the PreSonus ATOM SQ.

However, Wherever

PreSonus ATOM SQ is highly configurable. You can freely remap instrument parameters 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 colorize the RGB LEDs as you please to color-code your loops and samples.

Navigation And Transport Control

PreSonus ATOM SQ is more than an expressive pad controller, it also lets you navigate many aspects of Studio One without a mouse and keyboard. You’ve got transport controls for stop, play, and record, plus a dedicated Click Track toggle.

Wherever Sound Takes You

With its unique staggered-pad layout, contextual screen design, and customization tools, ATOM SQ lets you stay in the moment of creation. Its small-footprint, USB bus-powered design means you can slip it right into your bag and produce anywhere you and your laptop might happen to go, and the complete suite of integrated software lets you start creating right out of the box. 

Apple Silicon, iOS, And iPad OS Compatibility

The PreSonus ATOM SQ is natively compatible with Apple Silicon-based Mac computers, as well as iOS and iPadOS devices, including iPad Pro, iPad, iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPod Touch, and iPhone.
