Presonus - ATOM SQ

Hybrid MIDI Keyboard/Pad Performance and Production Controller

 

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—without dropping the beat.

 

Quick, easy, and fun hands-on beat and melody creation; staggered pad layout is familiar and intuitive to both keyboard players and step sequencer fans; touch strip can be assigned to control nearly any parameter from filter cutoff to pan; pressure-sensitive pads support polyphonic aftertouch; context-sensitive LCD screen provides easy feedback for common functions; eight assignable rotary encoders let you control anything from tuning to filter cutoff; navigation and transport controls; onboard arpeggiator; Constrain to Scale feature ensures no more wrong notes; includes Ableton Live Lite, Studio One Artist, two loop packs and custom kits for Impact XT.

 

Music creation made fun, fast, and easy; 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. A staggered 16-pad layout ensures that both keyboard players and drum programmers will be right at home, and the pads’ pressure sensitivity allows for truly expressive performances. Make ATOM SQ your own—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—and its bus-powered, portable design means you can create nearly anywhere.  

Keyboards and mice are for spreadsheets and flowcharts. Get an ATOM SQ and sculpt your music by hand.
