Music creation made fun, fast, and easy; the Presonus ATOM SQ is all about creating a groove while in the groove. Just set up a couple of loop points and bang out your beats and melodies on the fly, without getting bogged down in kludgy menu dives, setup, or configuration. A staggered 16-pad layout ensures that both keyboard players and drum programmers will be right at home, and the pads' pressure sensitivity allows for truly expressive performances. Make ATOM SQ your own--the eight assignable rotary encoders can be mapped to control nearly whatever you like, and RGB LEDs in the pads make for gorgeous, intuitive color-coordination of your samples and loops. Studio One Artist and Ableton Live Lite are included, so you'll be making beats on day one -- and its bus-powered, portable design means you can create nearly anywhere.

Keyboards and mice are for spreadsheets and flowcharts. Get an ATOM SQ and sculpt your music by hand.
