ATOM SQ
Owner’s Manual
1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the PreSonus® ATOM SQ hybrid MIDI keyboard / pad
production and performance controller. ATOM SQ was designed as a versatile
and expressive MIDI pad controller for contemporary music production. Its
unique design is optimized for both classic TR-style 16-step beat sequencing and
drum pattern editing in Studio One or playing instruments and launching clips
in Ableton Live—yet its staggered and RGB-lit 32-pad configuration is instantly
familiar to anyone who’s played a controller keyboard. Advanced features let
you change the keyboard scale, and a built-in arpeggiator and user-configurable
touch strip make the ATOM SQ the most expressive controller you’ll ever use.
