PreSonus ATOM SQ Hybrid MIDI Keyboard/Pad Controller

The ATOM SQ bridges the gap between pad controller and keyboard in a way that feels fresh and genuinely useful. Its staggered 32-pad layout works as both a step sequencer and an expressive keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch, so you can go from programming beats to playing melodies without switching controllers. A/B pad modes let you flip between instruments and drum kits instantly.

Tight integration with Studio One and Ableton Live means the controls map intelligently from the moment you plug in. Eight rotary encoders, 16 buttons, and a touch strip give you hands-on control over your mix and instruments. For producers who want one controller that handles sequencing, performing, and mixing without taking up half the desk, the ATOM SQ is a clever solution.
