PreSonus Atom - 16-Pad Performance Control Surface with 16 RGB Pads and 4 Rotary Encoders in Black Finish

The PreSonus ATOM is an intuitive and powerful 16-pad performance control surface designed for musicians, producers, and performers who need a versatile, compact, and expressive tool for their production setup. With its 16 full-size, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads, ATOM provides all the expression and tactile control you need to create beats, trigger sound effects, and control virtual instruments with ease. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, ATOM's seamless integration with Studio One and Ableton Live ensures that you stay connected to your music, keeping your focus on the performance rather than the screen.

Built to be both bus-powered and compact, the ATOM fits easily into your setup, whether on the go with your laptop or as part of a permanent production station. The 16 dynamic pads provide sensitivity to velocity and pressure, allowing for a more expressive and organic performance. The RGB lighting for each pad provides visual feedback, ensuring you can see exactly which pad is active. ATOM also offers 8 assignable pad banks, meaning you can easily expand your control over a range of samples or instruments, and with the added MIDI aftertouch, channel pressure, and CC messages, you can fine-tune the expression even further. Switching between different modes, such as MIDI Keyboard or Note Repeat mode, gives you the flexibility to control instruments as you see fit.

In addition to the pads, the ATOM includes 4 programmable rotary encoders and 20 assignable buttons, allowing you to control parameters such as volume, filter sweeps, and modulation in real time. The assignable buttons can quickly toggle between different presets or control transport functions, letting you build dynamic performances with ease. Navigating your session or DAW becomes intuitive as you can control loop points, change presets, adjust the transport, and more - all without touching your mouse or looking at your screen. The selectable pad velocity curves and pressure thresholds allow for even more customization to fit your personal style.

The ATOM is designed with serious musicians and performers in mind, offering not just an expressive MIDI pad controller, but a full-featured production controller. It integrates seamlessly with Studio One and Impact XT for maximum productivity and creative flexibility. The included Studio One Pro+ for 6 months, Studio Magic software suite, and Ableton Live Lite ensure that you have everything you need to get started, whether you're creating in a studio or performing live.
