Bro, I think Presonus owes you money and mad props. This video was unbelievably good. Seriously you're concise and great at explaining. Thanks for putting in all the hard work and hours to make this! I know much effort these kinds of videos take.
This is one of the best and most comprehensive honest reviews on the Presonus Atom. I've been doing research on this unit and decided to pull the trigger and order one. Your video was very helpful. Excellent job and thank you!
Sloow down man.. CHAOS!. Great controller, the video super fast. THANKS! I learned to make patterns in studio one with ATOM! Thats allot for one day and all i needed to make some fast cash.
bought the machine mk3 but also bought the atom since im a s1 user after using both i realized that the Atom was all i needed i can do everything the mk3 does within S1 itself and with the Atom just makes making my beats more enjoyable so my mk3 sits on the side as the Atom is perfect for my work flow and for a second controller i use Komplete s49 and they say it work good with the mk3 and yes it does since its almost the same but why spend that exstra cash when you can do the same with ease using the S1 with ATOM.
I'm an old school funk drummer,thinking about getting one of these to make some beats. Great video,but background music was a distraction especially listening with headphones.
Presonus really got their money's worth sending you a free one. Great job. Comparing your video to the one Sweetwater's YT channel did is night and day
Thanks Ivan - you've truly showcased the capabilities of the Atom, and no doubt, inspired many to consider buying/using it. It's what Presonus should've done in the first place!
Finally, watching you use Maschine in your convoluted workaround in Studio One always made me frustrated. When an Atom is perfectly integrated with Studio One. This makes me happy! Now you need a Faderport 8 and a Console 1. Trust me this the ultimate setup for mixing in Studio One.
Ivan, your tutorial and breakdown in this review not only blew my mind, but convinced me to begin the next chapter of my musical journey with Presonus. Thank you for all of your helpful tips, tricks and insights. I watched your video on tuning drums and it equally blew me away. All the best to you and keep shining your light in the world.
I can't believe how excellent and comprehensive this review and your other tutorial videos on the ATOM are, Ivan, WOW! Great job and thank you very much for these. They have been incredibly helpful to me! I just bought an ATOM and I quite look forward to enhancing my workflow in S1 once it arrives tomorrow!
i know the time and effort it takes to make a quality video and as anOG studio one user thanks man. ive honestly had my atom since the day it came out but i appreciate this one bc there's not many tutorials for the ATOM. Blessings brotha
Hey Ivan, what up? Great informative video man! I just got one for Christmas and I'm learning it now. Are you still doin' these vids? I hope so. You're a good teacher. You Go Dude!!
Dude, AWESOME video. Having background music under the section when you were making the beat was a little distracting, but only because I was so focused on what you were doing. Great stuff man!
That was completely my bad and I only noticed it till after it was uploaded. I usually take away any background music from beat making sections. I appreciate you watching nonetheless!
thank you for this information. new subscriber here. you explain so well. this is the type of educational videos i like. someone who actually explains all you need to know. you are very good man. keep going.
Ok..time to get the credit card out and pull the proverbial trigger! I should have been in bed hours ago! Man..you are an excellent teacher. I'm just a Blues/Rock type so I know what Impact XT kits I want..and you just gave me the freakin keys to the kingdom! Steak, Lobster and free skydives for you Brother. Hope you are well! Thank you so much!
Well well...my Atom is arriving to my doorstep today, so good timing on this video! I have Studio One 4 Pro, but I’ve yet to really use it since I have been mostly using Logic and Maschine, and have dabbled a bit with Ableton. Looking forward soon to digging in and seeing if this combo will be for me. Thanks for this overview!
Hey Ivan! Thanks to you I just got a Presonus ATOM! I just have a quick question. When I pull up a Mai Tai and I hit pads 6, 7, and 8, a beat starts coming in behind the note. Do you know why this would be? Thank you!
I am considering a Presonus Bundle with the Atom included. Is this a bette option than just purchasing a Midi Box and utilizing Garage Band to finish my album on Spotify?
If you tell me how to save the Impact preset with the samples that would be great every time I save a preset the impact only save the preset not the samples with it on same folder, is there a way or they did like this so no one can save of export there internal impact library ? All companies these days became boring & only try to make money
Oh man, I bought Studio One Artist, and then I found this. If only I'd known. However, I already have an Arturia Keylab MKII, so I'm not sure there would be a lot of value in getting this now.
take away all the navigation buttons, up down left right select and put it in a small toggle stick or pad that puts it al lin one. Save space on the pad, other options available for the pads now
Thanks for the great video. Just wondering if you know how to change the notes of the pads down or up by semitones rather than just octaves. Thanks again.
Since you're a Studio One Cat, I have a question for you. Let's say I'm wandering around S1's presets looking for that perfect bass for my tune. I find two or three that I dig and want to come back to play with them later. Is there a way to say them away some place and pull them up later for more exploration as a favorite? In Ableton LIVE, it's a snap. In Logic, the preset just has to be renamed. What's up with S1? Thx
Hi Ivan, thank you for this video. I have several controllers and my daw is Ableton Live. I want to have a controller which is perfect for fingerdrumming , so basically, I'm focus on pads sensitivity. Did you try the Maschine MK3? Is the Atom fast enough to play very fast on the same pad like a hihat ?
Right there 9:45 when you cycle through the presets on the VSTs, such as Mai Tai, when I use the buttons I am stuck in that specific preset folder. I tried to continue down the list but it repeats in the folder and I can't get to the next folder. Is there a way to do this with out using the mouse to select another preset folder, such as lead folder?
Hey Ivan, how are you! Dope video. Question: Can Atom be used as a live performance groovebox with Studio One? (Not as a live drum pad) I would like to trigger sequences on the fly during live acts. Thanx.
Today’s video is a big boy so here are some timestamps to help you get around: Form Factor: 1:47 Functionality: 3:50 DEMO: 12:15 Final Thoughts: 22:56 Enjoy!
So if you buy the atom you get studio one artist for free. I bought studio one artist for 99 euros. if I now would buy the atom for 155 euros, that's not a good idea, if I had known I would of course have bought the atom. hmmm? I am Dutch speaking
Too much commercial talk! You don't mention the crucial thing that is even in manual: You MUST perform firmware update otherwise it will not work and map correctly in Studio One. So you just mail Presonus your Maschine got damaged and you will do a review for them? You push it too hard bro to convince Presonus :-))
Bro, I think Presonus owes you money and mad props. This video was unbelievably good. Seriously you're concise and great at explaining. Thanks for putting in all the hard work and hours to make this! I know much effort these kinds of videos take.
Haha, thanks Eric! 🙏🏽

Dude the ATOM is great. Def will be looking into those other two soon.

Great review, just convinced me to get 1 from Amazon ty dude.
Glad I could help!
Lol for reals
That step sequencer function is what I’ve been missing since I left Live and the Push behind. I’m getting an Atom.
Might just get one of these since I'm already on Studio One 4. Presonus FTW
It's so worth it man. Productivity is crazy now.
Dude, AWESOME video. Having background music under the section when you were making the beat was a little distracting, but only because I was so focused on what you were doing. Great stuff man!
That was completely my bad and I only noticed it till after it was uploaded. I usually take away any background music from beat making sections. I appreciate you watching nonetheless!
This was so helpful!! Thank you
merci beaucoup a toi :))
Honestly I have the Atom but in lots of instances the mouse seems much quicker .
I've just spend 25min and 44sec to make my life easier.
Just thank you was using the atom for impact only for making beats i knew what it was capable of but too lazy too learn it this guide is unbelievable
Switched to Studio One 4 from Logic Pro X successfully, (much thanks to you).
Most probably buy this tiny beast as well!
You won't regret it bro! Easily my favorite studio piece as of late.
thank you for this information. new subscriber here. you explain so well. this is the type of educational videos i like. someone who actually explains all you need to know. you are very good man. keep going.
Thank you and welcome!
good review very informative i just bought this product and have watched a few of your videos thanks
Thanks for watching!
Reminds me of the MPC and Ableton Live 10
Actually reminds me exactly of Maschine
Thanks mate
Thanks for this tutorial, one of the best online. I hope you do even more on Atom. Ciao.
Thanks Roberto and I most certainly will!
Thank you very much, now I understand how to deal with the atom. 🥇
Thanks for watching, Axel!
I hope presonus pay you to do this. This is the best guide to get started online atm
Ok..time to get the credit card out and pull the proverbial trigger!
I should have been in bed hours ago! Man..you are an excellent teacher.
I'm just a Blues/Rock type so I know what Impact XT kits I want..and you just gave me the freakin keys to the kingdom!
Steak, Lobster and free skydives for you Brother. Hope you are well! Thank you so much!

Congrats on the ATOM, hope this video helps!
Very comprehensive video on the Atom. Now I see why they called it Atom.
very great review, really helps me alot
Glad to hear it!
I Have Been DJ for awhile so can atom Dj set up for gig and party once you get familiar with the Atom and can file some of work with Atom.
Thanks for this tutorial, Ivan. Bless you, man!
My pleasure!
I’m still confused 🤷♀️
Thank you Ivan. Now i know how to use my Atom.
Of course, thanks for watching!
Awesome and well explained demo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks so much!
Hey Ivan! Thanks to you I just got a Presonus ATOM! I just have a quick question. When I pull up a Mai Tai and I hit pads 6, 7, and 8, a beat starts coming in behind the note. Do you know why this would be? Thank you!
Excellent as always👌🏻
I appreciate that bro, thanks for tuning in! 🙏🏽🔥
I am considering a Presonus Bundle with the Atom included. Is this a bette option than just purchasing a Midi Box and utilizing Garage Band
to finish my album on Spotify?
Finally pulled the trigger after this vid
Please tell us there's a manual in the box it came in.
good review bro
Great vid bro!
Thanks!
Curious as to where you got the shelf to put your Atom on?
Hi Ivan,
Its nice to see such informative content..! ✨🔥 It would be highly appreciate that how to edit videos like you do..!!
If you tell me how to save the Impact preset with the samples that would be great every time I save a preset the impact only save the preset not the samples with it on same folder, is there a way or they did like this so no one can save of export there internal impact library ? All companies these days became boring & only try to make money
all workеd
Great
U sold me Atom today :)
Oh man, I bought Studio One Artist, and then I found this. If only I'd known.
However, I already have an Arturia Keylab MKII, so I'm not sure there would be a lot of value in getting this now.
Good stuff Brother.i was doing just the basic on this thing I’m more like maschine guy and I’m still using my mk1
Yea man honestly it’s whatever works. If you use S1 and you already have the ATOM then it’s def worth learning.
Where can i hear the music you make
take away all the navigation buttons, up down left right select and put it in a small toggle stick or pad that puts it al lin one. Save space on the pad, other options available for the pads now
Appreciate the info
Thanks for watching!
Ivan Calderon no problem, just got a PreSonus ATOM kit that came with Studio One and look forward to learning more from you video. You got a new sub!
I still can’t find the atom on studio one the only thing I see is the presence
Do the pads light up the scale? or is it just chromatic?
Just chromatic, unfortunately.
@@ImIvanCalderon that stinks
Do I need a piano because mines don’t make a sound
Can you use the hit hat note repeat with ezdrummer 3?
I got it but idk how to use anything 😔
Thanks for the great video. Just wondering if you know how to change the notes of the pads down or up by semitones rather than just octaves. Thanks again.
I need that video on spanish 😔
I'll look into adding proper Spanish captions!
Can i customize the color of the pads to my liking, such as launchpad o ableton push?
Since you're a Studio One Cat, I have a question for you. Let's say I'm wandering around S1's presets looking for that perfect bass for my tune. I find two or three that I dig and want to come back to play with them later. Is there a way to say them away some place and pull them up later for more exploration as a favorite? In Ableton LIVE, it's a snap. In Logic, the preset just has to be renamed. What's up with S1? Thx
did you just say that I would want my velocity at 100% all the time? then what happens to the human feel of the beat?
Hey I just got studio 5 pro how do I download this video so I can use it offline whenever I need to see something u did here...thanx
Hi Ivan, thank you for this video. I have several controllers and my daw is Ableton Live.
I want to have a controller which is perfect for fingerdrumming , so basically, I'm focus on pads sensitivity. Did you try the Maschine MK3?
Is the Atom fast enough to play very fast on the same pad like a hihat ?
So, this is compatible to any computer and/or laptop?
Mine won't go to that set up mode after you choose Mai tai, any reason why?
I dоwnloaded everything is okay
Right there 9:45 when you cycle through the presets on the VSTs, such as Mai Tai, when I use the buttons I am stuck in that specific preset folder. I tried to continue down the list but it repeats in the folder and I can't get to the next folder. Is there a way to do this with out using the mouse to select another preset folder, such as lead folder?
Hey Ivan, how are you! Dope video.
Question: Can Atom be used as a live performance groovebox with Studio One? (Not as a live drum pad)
I would like to trigger sequences on the fly during live acts.
Thanx.
Alejandro Valencia i don’t think S1 has any kind of clip launcher like Ableton. That would be amazing though.
Can you use Atom with superior drummer 3 and native instruments maschine 2?
Yes! At the core it's just a MIDI controller so you can use it with any VST!
Great Review! Question, can you use Maschine 2 software with the Atom?
Yup! The ATOM is just a MIDI controller so you can pair it with anything MIDI
IM SOL!!! D GOING TO ORDER IT THIS TUESDAY THANKS JUST LOOK AT AMAZON AND IT COME WITH THE NEW STUDIO 5 VERSION !! SOFTWARE!!
Enjoy it!
@@ImIvanCalderon I WILL LEARNING TO USE 4 NOW !!!, WHICH CAME WITH MY AUDIO INTERFACE
Great video, though as a rock/metal musician I cringed so hard at "drums at 100%" lol
Mpk mini, better ?
Not for Studio One 😬
how many steps do this have ?
16 physically on the ATOM but you can add more in S1 and then switch banks on the ATOM to control them.
Can you use Omnisphere with this DAW?
Yes you can!
Thanks for answering. Its awesome for VSTs. I have sd3 and a load of others this daw recognizes them automatically soooo happy
Today’s video is a big boy so here are some timestamps to help you get around:
Form Factor: 1:47
Functionality: 3:50
DEMO: 12:15
Final Thoughts: 22:56
Enjoy!
Actually the final thoughts is at 22:56
Fixed! lol
So if you buy the atom you get studio one artist for free. I bought studio one artist for 99 euros. if I now would buy the atom for 155 euros, that's not a good idea, if I had known I would of course have bought the atom. hmmm? I am Dutch speaking
presonus should of fix this long ago still not fix. its you hardware controller presonus make it work out the box
I’m selling all my maschine device it’s complicated and expensive for nothing
Too much commercial talk! You don't mention the crucial thing that is even in manual: You MUST perform firmware update otherwise it will not work and map correctly in Studio One. So you just mail Presonus your Maschine got damaged and you will do a review for them? You push it too hard bro to convince Presonus :-))
I'm looking for a drum machine not a keyboard? For an Old Guy it's easier to use a real drummer!
BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
