Review: AWESOME!!! - Love this thing! I've had it for a few months now! If I had a complaint, it would just be that it looks like a toy. But I have no complaints! Once you get it plugged in all the colors and lights make sense. This thing does an amazing job at being everything all at once! The pads are stiff and very responsive. The slider is awesome to get a lot of functions from. Great little addon to my Studio One 7 Pro, and my Faderport 8. I rarely even touch my mouse these days since with both the Faderport and the Atom. All my controls I need are built right in to get the workflow going. There is a bit of a learning curve. But if you take the time to learn it. The flow is super increased.
Review: ATOM SQ is a banger with Studio One - Everything I wanted out of a Midi DAW Controller - I wanted to get away from the mouse as much as possible while producing music on my DAW (ableton). I was skeptical this would make any difference with the workflow but this thing delivers! I have already made a song just by messing out trying out the features that it has. It allows me to scan through and load my vsts plugins and control them It allows me to adjust and edit my arranger view which for me is the best part. You can control the screen where you want the loop to start and stop. zoom in and out. nudge this nudge that. control my vsts like a hardware device. Its a pure joy to work with! I did have to learn Studio one but I can't believe what I have been missing. Studio one itself is a beast. Overall Im glad I took a leap into the presonus / Studio one field. I tried all the newest controllers with ableton, the new akai apc64 returned it. I felt the apc64 wasnt neccessary and not functional. But this thing out the box was intuitive and I got perfectly clear right of the bat. Anyways I appreciate products that does what it says and does more! There can be a few things but not a deal breaker. Faders and the ability to scan and scroll and load presets from plugins. But thats being picky. This thing is a beast of a midi controller!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I already own studio one 4 pro, is there a way to buy this for less without the software?**
A: Buy from Amazon warehouse... It most likely won't have software(already registered software).

**Q: Is there like a cross fade between pads? I wnt to try to use this for my worship team at my church.**
A: No.  I am not sure how you are trying to use this.  But if you are triggering songs, you will still need a way of controlling the volume.  I assume you would be running this through a mixer.  So my recommendation is to use your outboard mixer to fade in and out.  If you are determined to use this that way, you could also just edit your songs for a fade out.

**Q: Can you program the pads to work without a computer?**
A: This is a computer peripheral. Not a standalone unit.

**Q: Does this product come with a downloadable link to Studio One artist or is it the box like the picture shows?**
A: The ATOM just comes with the unit, a cable, and a basic instruction manual.  What you should do is register with PreSonus after purchase.  When you create your account, you'll get a downloadable link to Studio One Artist and additional content.  Head's up - in total, there is around 7GB worth of software & content to download.  IF you plan to use the Studio One Artist software, I think you'll find everything that you need to get started there (though I have not tried it personally.  I downloaded all of the software, but haven't really used it much at all, as I'm a Cubase 10 Pro owner).  From videos I've watched, and the little bit I've read, the promoted software looks interesting, but if you're already using something more serious, like Cakewalk, Cubase, ProTools or whatever, I'd say don't even waste your time with the downloads, other than the ATOM driver (I think that was one of the downloads...).  In my setup, I'm just using the ATOM as a straight pad controller, and the only buttons that matter to me are the 4x4 big ones in the center of the unit.  I may find more use later, but for now, this is just a perfect hardware extension for me to play my Groove Agent drum sounds from, as it perfectly matches the Groove Agent on screen GUI.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic device
*by S***T on July 10, 2025*

Absolutely great device. Mandatory for Studio One users but would be a great controller in any DAW. I have two other MIDI keyboards on my desk, and this is the one I use everyday.
