    I've used other Pad-style control surfaces. For the price, the ATOM is an excellent device. Great touch, easy to learn how to use. It's integration support for Ableton Live users was fantastic.

  • This thing is so cool....Seriously, though. It's GREAT!

    The ATOM is the epitome of the ALL-IN-ONE controller for your DAW. When connected with Studio One, you have full control of your DAW (and I mean that you could record and lay down an entire song without touching your mouse once. It's pretty dang cool With highly responsive and velocity sensitive pads, the ATOM makes Music Production an addictive Art form of sorts. You wont be disappointed!

    I'm not showing they have one, we actually don't have any in any of our stores, but you can place an order for it and once it's in stock it will ship out to you.
