    Es sollte mir eigentlich meine musikalische Arbeit erleichtern. Also vorweg jemand der mit so etwas anfngt der hat sicher sein Freude damit. Aber nach 2 Jahrzehnten mit Midi Software z.b. Steinberg oder Ableton Live mit Maus und Tasten und dann das Atom SQ als I Tpfelchen, das haut nicht hin also nicht bei mir. Bin da genauso weiterhin mit der Maus als Eingabegert dran wie ohne dem Atom SQ .

    Also mir hilft es nicht, im Gegenteil es hlt mich einfach nur auf. Wo drck ich da jetzt drauf??, Ich bin zu dem Entschluss gekommen das ich so wie bisher weitermache. Wahrscheinlich bin ich ohne dem Gert schneller dran. Da spreche ich jetzt nur fr mich. Das Gert hat wie gesagt sicher seine Berechtigung, es ist klein und passt daher berall hin. Wer keinen Platz fr ein 88 Tasten Masterkeyboard hat. Ok, passt.

    Vielleicht am besten Testen und selber rausfinden ob es fr sich selbst einen Sinn macht. Das Ding ging zurck und endlich geht es wieder weiter ohne wo oder was drck ich da jetzt.

    It is amazing and Studio One is simple made and easy to use.. I had ableton before and was very complex for a beginner but Studio one has many videos on YouTube and very well explained… Complex as well but learnable. Great Drumpad

    Pour une fois le Fabricant tient ses promesses . Car si le produit est beau et fonctionne super bien , il y a la suite logistique promise ! Il faut un peu de patience et ouvrir un compte , puis attendre un peu pour que la validation du produit arrive et enfin …la page de tlchargement des softs soit possible . Mais a marche ! et retrouver Ableton Live gratos c’est de la balle !!! Studio One 5 est un norme outils avec une visibilit directe sur la . tablette Atom , qui prend en compte nos dossiers perso sans aucune difficult pour les simpler .
    Merci PreSonus

    Au-delàs de mes attentes !

    J’aime beaucoup l’atom SQ. Le gros avantage que j’y vois c’est la fonction scale, qui permet de n’afficher que les notes appartenant une gamme. On conomise de la place sur le clavier midi, qui passe d’une porte de deux octaves 4 et un peu au dela, et plus si on passe en mode pentatonique. Certes vous ferez pas du Chopin avec mais c’est assez norme pour un clavier midi peine plus grand que mon Ducky One 2 Mini.

    C’est un bon outil pour mieux visualiser les gammes au piano egalement.

    Les inconvnients que j’y vois cependant :
    Les pads pas assez sensibles mon got, mme en reglage “soft” il faut taper assez vivement. Taper les bords hauts/bas plutt qu’au centre necessite moins de force et corrige plus ou moins le souci.

    Les potards midi du haut, j’aurais prfr des crants avec une rotation limite, comme celui de droite cot de l’cran. Ils sont sensibles la velocit mais je ne trouve pas a specialement malin. Je prfre un potard avec un min/max qu’une rotation infinie, mais a n’engage que moi.

    Le gros hic pour moi, le mode arpeggiateur : pour je ne sais quelle raison, il n’est pas disponible quand on utilise studio one artist, mais il l’est avec ableton. Je comprend que presonus souhaite absolument qu’on utilise NoteFX, mais je n’ai pas envie de dbourser 300 de plus pour un arpeggiateur. Resultat, meme si S1 intgre bien l’atom SQ, on manque d’une fonctionnalit essentielle pour un clavier midi, que mon petit Akai MK2 propose, un comble.

    Enfin, je ne pense pas que a soit un outil qui dispenser d’utiliser son DAW la souris, l’edition de notes midi sera trop fastidieuse. Par contre c’est top pour caler un beat en 2 minutes avec le mode edition integr avec Impact XT.

    Compact, polyvalent et surprena

    Para el precio es bastante bueno, es como una maschine en menor tamao. Lo cool es que con akai mpc live trae casi configuracin automtica y se vuelve una extensin de la misma akai, funciona con muchos daw pero tiene el propio incluido, recomendado si estas empezando en el fingerdrumming o quieres unos pads para estudiar y practicar y asi no acabarte los de tu akai o maschine. Cosas de fingerdrummers.

    The wide or narrow vibrato I can get with these pressure sensitive pads, Wow. Immersive; It Controls studio one amazingly. Native mode as soon as you open up the daw. Less mouse and keyboard work. Puts you into your project. It’s perfect. For its control, worth every penny.

    Brilliant for use with the DAW Presonus studio one, I use the sphere version and pay monthly. You can use it with other daws, but it interacts better with studio one. One drawback is there’s no loop button, but this has a work around, as you can loop in studio one. The button are rubber, and touch sensitive. Everything works as it should. glad I got one great for shortcuts as well.

    Great piece of midi, got it, plugged it in, and everything works like a charm. Good for everyone using Studio One because its integrated very well with it. Fast workflow, and reduces your mouse and keyboard action. Pads feel good and are sensitive. Can’t go wrong with it for the price.

    Really nice controller for studio one. I don’t work with anything else so can’t comment on the compatibility for other systems. Nice quality feel pads. I’m taking some time to work through the online manual and watching YouTube videos to get the best out of it. So much fun. Works really well with Impact XT but you can use it with keys as well.

    Integration to Studio 1 is amazing.

    Wasn’t to bad to set up with Reason 11 either.

    Good sized pads with nice velocity response. Overall footprint good.

    If you use studio 1 and dont want to get removed from zone by a pesky mouse id say this is essential.

    Ps not tried to much with it as keyboard as have synth in setup.

    Wanted the software so this felt like a free item as not much difference in price so a no brainer. Now I have had a little mess around with it I feel I could use it to put radio jingles together and have a bit of fun. I don’t make music, but have created a few beats for a laugh. I normally use Audition so a bit of a learning curve as there is hardware and software to deal with hence 4 stars for ease of use but that would probably not be the case for Studio one users. Seems to be very well made and would be a great tool for the target audience. I would still say for the money it will be worth a play with as it is a lot of fun and in the 20 hours I have had it I have only made one jingle as too distracted making drum beats!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our Usersun controller estremamente dinamico, Per la produzione musicale con DAW. Ha un ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo, le stesse caratteristiche si trovano in strumenti estremamente pi costosi (es Maschine ecc.)
    In dotazione viene data la possibilit di scaricare il software Studio One e Ableton Live 10 lite. Direi che per questo prezzo non si pu chiedere di pi.

    Very happy with this little wonder. Yes it takes a minute to get to grips with it, but if you use Studio One, it opens up workflows not possible with any other hardware. There are plenty of tutorials online, so there should be no issue getting up and running with it. Build quality is excellent, it feels very solid. The encoders are smooth and pre-mapped for Studio One software, but it will work with other popular DAWs via the settings screen. Recommended.

    High build quality, tremendous integration with Presonus Studio One DAW. Really good learning videos and a lot less than an NI Maschine. A must have for any Studio One based rig.

  34. Anonymous says:

    The controller itself is excellent. Pads are very nice to use and very responsive. I had a Maschine Mikro Mk3 and this easily beats the pads on that.

    The claim of ableton integration bothers me though. The transport controls are fine, so you can play and stop etc. Theres even the option to change scenes and solo tracks but half the buttons on the controller are unlit and do not work with ableton. You also have to use unrelated buttons to control functions, for example using “note repeat” to make the pads work as a drum pad. Full level does something else (cant remember what) so there is no full level option.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersAppena arrivato il pacco, ero rimasto un po’ deluso, ho pensato vedrai che mi hanno rifilato su un usato senza licenze perch era arrivata la scatola senza sigilli e nemmeno impacchettata con il solito scatolo di Amazon, sconfortato provo ugualmente a registrare il seriale dell’ apparecchio sul portale della Presonus. Ed invece funziona tutto, sono riuscito ad avere la copia di studio One artist 5, una copia di ableton live lite, e una licenza per melodics una sorta di palestra per imparare ad usare lo strumento. Presenti i suoni extra per studio one e il plugin impact per usare l’atom all’interno di studio One. Che dire super soddisfatto.

    you can use this amazing device in so many ways and within a few hours use it becomes invaluable. I use mine along with mouse and a 1 octave keyboard, using the atom for drum programming and DAW shortcuts. Being able to quickly open VST instruments, add tracks/patterns, duplicate, undo, set loops, zoom etc etc … all by the touch of a button has really improved my workflow. With a bit of practice you can write and edit a whole song without touching the mouse/keyb (if you were that way inclined) Get one, watch the training videos at presonus.com and enjoy !

    Prenez le temps de lire ces quelques phrases.

    J’ai longuement hsit entre le mpd18 et l’IrigPads comme vous le savez le Akai Mpd18 Un dfaut Majeure
    C au niveau des pads il peut arriver que lorsque l’on touche 1x le pads il s’avre que l’on n’est tapoter 2x Or que non
    Mais reste tout de mme intressant si l’on fait abstraction ce defaut le prix reste trs abordable 79 seulement
    Un pad avec 16 touches mditer !!!

    L’Irig de chez Apple est plutt pas mal est un peu moins cher que notre cher Atom
    Mais cependant l’Atom de chez Presonus est tout juste rcent 1 an ou deux

    Donc de nouvelles technologies adaptable sous diffrents logiciels Os / Windows 10
    L’installation du Produit des plug In n’est pas long contrairement d’autres pads.

    Pour un novice ou mme pro on s’adapte trs rapidement.
    Faut un peu d’adaptation avec le logiciel Presonus si vous tes chez Cubase ou Ableton…

    Y a des Tuto sur YouTube pour vous aidez y en a pas des masses car c est un nouveau produit
    Aprs 15 jours seulement je commence me dbrouiller.

    Si vous souhaitez l offrir c est un trs bon et beau cadeaux Je recommande
    Seul bmol il aurait peut-tre fallu plus d’option aux niveaux des instru
    Si vous souhaitez pousser votre cration musicale faudra investir un peu sur studio one 4 Artist
    Mais bon j’ai tester plusieurs pads y a pas meilleur que celui la d’ sa catgorie.

    Merci Amazon et ces livreurs.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersHaving gone through Maschine Studio and Mikros in use within Studio One now very happy with the Atom NI changes were annoying however still use Battery and Komplete and Maschine software if necessary but find the Atom much more easier. Solid build quality and prefer its format. Absolute recommendation for S1 users and great for a new user who does not have a daw yet. Although the artist license is naff for anybody already using S1 Right now the Pro upgrade is 99 at Scan making this an absolute no brainer if you do not have Studio One 4 and want to step into it.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThe Atom is a complex beast. On the surface, just some nice drum pads in a solid housing but a few months later, I have discovered that I can operate Studio One with very little if any mouse useage. Also less time spent staring at the screen and more learning to use my ears again. Very tactile experience and huge improvement from being a slave to the mouse. Highly recommended.

     United Kingdom

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersSo far my experience with this has been very positive. As a user of Studio One, and the ATOM being very much focused to it, it worked straight out of the box. No messing around, just plug it in and fire up Studio One. A bit inconsistent on focus sometimes, and I wouldn’t bother with the keyboard function – get a dedicated keyboard controller if that is what you’re after, but it does work if all you want is something simple to jam with. The encoders are fine, but a bit of a pain with non-Studio One instruments and effects. It is a little expensive, and would have been nice if Presonus offered a unit at a slightly cheaper price for those that already have their (great, btw) Studio One. That said, if you want to get started with bedroom producing, and it’s your first foray into spending some money on the hobby and haven’t quite settled for your DAW of choice, I do recommend this – not only a decently built controller, but a nice starting point with Studio One Artist. One thing though; you will quickly outgrow Artist – its lack of VST support out of the box is something to keep in mind (you can buy an add-on to enable this, but at that point, you may as well go for their Pro option, which makes the included Artist moot).
