The ATOM SQ Hybrid MIDI Keyboard Controller from PreSonus is designed for the versatile needs of 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’s played a controller keyboard. The ATOM SQ 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.
Its small-footprint and USB bus-powered design means you can slip the ATOM SQ 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. ATOM SQ is tightly integrated with Studio One and Ableton Live, and includes two carefully-curated loop libraries with custom Impact XT kits. Whether you’re in the studio, on stage, or on the road, the ATOM SQ gives you the freedom to create, wherever sound takes you.
