PreSonus ATOM - b-stock

Presonus ATOM - MIDI pad controller

Capture the beat whenever and wherever creativity strikes with PreSonus’ ATOM. An intuitive, musical, MIDI pad controller, ATOM’s dynamic, ultra-sensitive pads will give you all the expression you need, whether you’re making a beat, creating a driving synth line, or triggering sound effects and loops on the fly. Tight integration with both Studio One and Ableton Live mean that you stay inspired without missing a beat. Your focus will be off the screen and on your performance—where it matters most.
