Enter a Pattern, change duration, add new loops, and change scales — directly from the ATOM SQ.
Want to make changes on the go? The ATOM SQ allows you to open the Studio One Pattern Editor, select and edit everything separately, even copy, paste, duplicate, and delete whatever you do, all using the touch controls.

You'll work faster than ever, using the integrated controller for Studio One specifically designed for the ATOM SQ. It's fast and easy for those who know how to program a Drum machine.

A complete production toolkit.

The ATOM SQ includes Studio One Artist music production software that allows you to compose, write, and produce with all the tools it offers. The new Atom SQ is easy to use and connect to Studio One, allowing you to produce faster than ever. It also includes Impact XT.

The new version 5 of Studio One Artist now allows you to use your favorite VST effects plug-ins and virtual instruments. You also have full support for Studio One Remote for use on a second screen or as a remote control tool for Studio One on your iPad® or Android™ tablet. With the new ATOM SQ, you have the most flexible MIDI Controller from PreSonus for Studio One.

Integration with Ableton Live and much more...

The ATOM SQ is also a unique controller for Ableton Live, designed for production and live performance.

You can start clips and scenes during a performance, select devices and edit parameters, navigate through tracks and scenes, control the volume of each piece, and even program all the drums in Ableton from the ATOM SQ!

Ableton Live Lite is included, so you can start creating right away. It comes with all versions, instruments, and effects of Live - everything you need to write songs, create with your Atom, transfer music from your applications, and much more.

With ATOM, you can easily reshape the parameters of your instruments, so you can color the RGB LEDs as you want to give color to your channels. The LCD screen of the ATOM SQ is used to display information, also describing the functions you need, just when you need them for the project you're working on.

Navigation control and many shortcuts.

The ATOM SQ is more than just a pad controller, allowing you to navigate through many Studio One applications without a mouse and keyboard. It features transport controls, pause, play, record, and a dedicated Tracks toggle.
You can even zoom in and out of your workspace and navigate between your pieces, all without touching your mouse.
