Description

Capture the beat whenever and wherever creativity strikes with PreSonus' ATOM. An intuitive, musical, MIDI pad controller, ATOM's dynamic, ultra-sensitive pads will give you 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.

Impact XT is a powerful pad-style sampler with 16 pads, each with its own pitch, amplifier, and filter controls, all editable via ATOM so you can make adjustments on the fly.

Users can upgrade to Studio One Pro when they're ready to take their game to the next level. Compatatible with virtually all macOS, and Windows. \n\n\nIntuitive and easy-to-use, ATOM is more than just an expressive MIDI pad controller: It's a production and performance controller as well.

    • Basic and just what I was looking for
I just wanted a way to play finger drums to work out song ideas. I tried the Elektron Digitakt 2 - too complicated. I tried the Akai MPC One+ - too complicated and poorly organized. The ATOM is a simple drum pad controller that can play any drum plugin in my DAW without complication. The pads are sufficiently responsive and it integrates very well with Studio One. I can start, stop, record, and play by using the buttons on the ATOM - although it probably only works in Studio One. I'm pleased - and for the price, you can't beat it. (No pun intended). ... show more

    • This Pad Was Made To Beat
Atom is a Presonus Midi controler pad-input instrument, so it's primary usage is with Studio One sequencer basied software, (Lite, but substantial version INCLUDED). However, you can also use it with other packages like Ableton Live. I'm using it as an iOS (iPad) Midi instrument input (running Loopy Pro). It's a sturdy 16 pad/4 Variable knobs controller, that's 8 inches square. It communicates it's status by turning the pads different colors, while this varies with different software. I believe a lot of people use it as a virtual drum machine input but you can use it as MIDI program change or music notes controller for any midi device. That means you can control changing actually notes, voices or loops in the software (that responds to Midi). It uses AND INCLUDES a USB-B cable, and it's powered by THAT cable. Unless you power that setup it will draw it's power from the device you connect it to and possible shorten the battery run time. If you use with a device that doesn't connect to the USB-A end, you'll need an adapter. If you're using an iPad, get a adapter that's certified to work by Apple. Also, those adapters that have a way to power the unit or the system. The pads on the Atom are a good quality, they feel a little stiff but respond well. They include variable velocity outputs. If you're using an iOS device a lot of the apps can show you the Midi numbers of each pad so you can program accordingly to what ever you're connecting to - using ' Midi Learn' function. Compared to other similar devices, it does well but cost less than most. Other more expensive controllers have more pads, but I don't see the need for them in my set up. Your's may be different. ... show more

    • Look, I'm a drummer!!! Kinda, sorta!
I bought this to create drum tracks in Pro Tools but it would not work. I didn't want the other version of this pad although I've heard it's better. I tried this with Pro Studio One and it works excellent. It was seamless and I have been using it to lay down drum tracks for some songs that I've been putting together. I think it sounds great. For the money I'd say it's excellent. It has pressure sensitive pads and is programmable. It may not be the absolute best out there, but I'm happy with it so far. I'm a string player and I've never been able to play drums. This is about the closest I'll ever come. Lol.... So far it's all good! ... show more

    • I Like The ATOM!
The PreSonus ATOM is the first MIDI pad controller I've ever used and it took me a few YouTube tutorials and 3 days to get through the learning curve but once I did, I found the ATOM to be relatively EASY to use! With it, I can turn an idea to a full song QUICKLY and arrange and edit on the fly. I like that it's fully integrated with Studio One 4. Just download the software and link up with the Universal Controller (found at the PreSonus website) and you're done. The pads are multi-functional and assignable - I can create my own template. The touch response is great and the colors are bright. I find the functions quite user-friendly. From the unit I can open a track, assign an instrument, record it, loop it, set the tempo, duplicate or delete it, quantize it and more - all without touching the mouse! I really like that I can use my M-Audio Oxygen 25 keyboard with it too. It's compatible! Once I learned the ATOM, it quickly became my new sidekick in the studio. This also comes with Studio One 4 Artist (which I use) and LOTS of high-quality kits and samples by MVP Loops. I highly recommend getting the ATOM/Studio One 4/Interface/Mic bundle. ... show more

    • Atom..
still useful in 2026. besides being a decent drum pad, the dedicated buttons are very useful for studio one functions.

    • Doesn't work as designed.
This might actually be a great MIDI controller.... that is if my DAWs would recognize it. I use Ableton and Reaper, NOT Studio One, which this overpriced paperweight is designed for. But it should still work as a USB MIDI controller. Right? RIGHT???? Nope. Already troubleshooted with both DAWs, downloaded their Universal Controller, which also wouldn't recognize the controller. I attempted to contact Presonus. Unfortunately, their customer service is terrible, and they just want to sell me crap, and refuse to acknowledge there's a problem with their product. I will not be buying anything from Presonus again. ... show more

    • A good pad controller with one issue
I ordered this MIDi controller and it worked well. The pads were sensitive, there were a number of nice options, but it seemed to be optimized for the PreSonus Studio One software. It offered some extra functionality for Ableton Live too, but it has no ability to allow you to program the midi note values for the individual pads. There might be some way around that, but I wasn't able to discover it, and I ended up sending it back. Not being able to program the note values for the pads was a dealbreaker for me. ... show more
