PreSonus ATOM-cr USB 16-Pad MIDI Controller Renewed

The PreSonus ATOM is a USB MIDI pad controller built for hands-on beat production and live performance. Its 16 full-size pads are both velocity- and pressure-sensitive, with RGB LED backlighting that provides visual feedback for pad states, banks, and modes. You can fine-tune the playing feel by selecting from multiple velocity curves and pressure thresholds, and the pressure response can be switched between MIDI aftertouch, channel pressure, and CC messages — giving you flexible expressive control whether you're finger-drumming, triggering samples, or manipulating effects in real time. Eight assignable pad banks expand your accessible pad assignments to 128, while dedicated modes for MIDI keyboard emulation, note repeat, and full velocity (fixed 127) broaden the controller's versatility.

Beyond the pads, the ATOM provides 20 assignable buttons and 4 endless rotary encoders for direct parameter control without reaching for a mouse. It connects via USB and is class-compliant with most major DAWs and performance software, though its deepest integration is with the included Studio One Artist. The bundled MVP loops content is specifically tailored for the ATOM, giving you production-ready material to start creating immediately. As a renewed unit, this controller has been inspected and tested to perform like new, making it an accessible entry point for producers who want tactile, expressive control over their music without the full new-unit price.
