Load up an Impact XT drum module and the pads become loop or hit triggers, the knobs select volume, pan etc and the buttons different banks of sounds. Load one up and play melodies with the pads, control native PreSonus instrument parameters with the knobs and options like octave select with the eight A-H buttons. Inst gets you loading up plugins and presets via the main browser. Song mode controls your top layer, adjusting everything from tempo to zoom, through effects and arrangement viewing. The various modes on Atom SQ also reveal a lot of depth, with controls around that lovely screen allowing you to select modes and parameters while the dial, Arrow and Page keys home in and change the options. The ‘keyboard’ performs better than we had expected – we thought that the pads might be a little difficult to play, but they are much more sensitive than anticipated and respond pretty well to changes in velocity. We were very quickly impressed by the speedy integration with Artist. Studio One 4 didn’t recognise it but the supplied 5 Artist did, as did the PreSonus Universal Control software. The unit is powered by USB and connects up to Studio One straight away – the latest version that is. It’s not angled, which would be a bonus, but any worries about seeing the screen better with the unit angled quickly dissipate – it’s pin-sharp wherever you place SQ on your desktop. Solid controlĪtom SQ is solid, compact and feels up to the job. Within Instrument Mode there are well-featured arpeggiator and scale functions while in Edit and User modes (in the main setup) you can adjust how Atom’s controls operate. Elsewhere in the main Modes, you also get doubling up depending on which mode you are in. ![]()
