Presonus

The PreSonus ATOM is a 16-pad MIDI controller small enough to travel with a laptop, built for playing beats, firing loops and running your software without looking at the screen. It's USB powered and needs no driver.

What sets it apart

  • 16 full-size RGB pads, velocity and pressure sensitive
  • Pressure sent as aftertouch, channel pressure or CC
  • 8 pad banks, 4 endless encoders, 20 assignable buttons
  • Keyboard, note repeat and full velocity modes
  • Official Ableton Live integration
  • USB powered, 0.45 kg

Tuned to how you play

Velocity curves and pressure thresholds are selectable, so a light touch or a heavy hand gets the result you expect. Full velocity mode always sends the maximum value, handy for triggering samples at full volume.

With Ableton Live and Fender Studio Pro

In Ableton Live 10.1.5 and up, ATOM navigates Session View, launches clips and scenes, and sets volume and panning. In Fender Studio Pro, it drives the Impact XT sampler, the transport and virtual instruments.

Frequently asked questions

Does ATOM work with Logic Pro or GarageBand?
PreSonus lists it as compatible with most music software on macOS and Windows. Deep integration is reserved for Fender Studio Pro and Ableton Live; elsewhere, it sends standard MIDI notes and messages.
Do I need to install a driver?
No. PreSonus says you just plug it into a free USB port: no driver is needed.
What software is included?
Registering the hardware gets you a 6-month trial of Fender Studio Pro.
Can I use two ATOMs together?
Yes. PreSonus says two or more ATOMs extend the playing range of instruments and the Drum Rack in Ableton Live.
