PreSonus ATOM 16-Pad USB MIDI Controller

Wherever inspiration takes you, the ATOM 16-Pad USB MIDI Controller from PreSonus® lets you focus on the music. Its dynamic, ultra-sensitive pads will provide all the expression you need, whether you’re making a beat, creating a driving synth line, or triggering sound effects and loops on the fly. Intuitive and easy-to-use, ATOM is more than just an expressive MIDI pad controller: it’s also a production and performance controller.

Fully bus-powered by USB, and compact enough to ride in your backpack with your laptop, ATOM’s velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads allow you to play your virtual instruments live, with incredible expressiveness. Navigate your session without looking at the screen, automate filter sweeps with 4 responsive knobs. Quickly add virtual instruments, change presets, create loop points, control the Studio One transport and more to build dynamic performances and blazing fast productions.

Compatible with most third-party software, ATOM is tightly integrated with Studio One®, Ableton® Live (version 10.1.5 or later), and Impact XT. Intuitive and simple to use, the ATOM 16-Pad USB MIDI Controller makes it easy for you to stay inspired without missing a beat. Your focus will be off the screen and on your performance—where it matters most.
