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.

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.

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.

Great

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

Might just get one of these since I'm already on Studio One 4. Presonus FTW

Thank you 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!

all workеd

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 ?

Reminds me of the MPC and Ableton Live 10

@Byronic19134

4 жыл бұрын

Actually reminds me exactly of Maschine

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?

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've just spend 25min and 44sec to make my life easier.

Can i customize the color of the pads to my liking, such as launchpad o ableton push?

Curious as to where you got the shelf to put your Atom on?

Can you use the hit hat note repeat with ezdrummer 3?

Please tell us there's a manual in the box it came in.

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.

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

Where can i hear the music you make

So, this is compatible to any computer and/or laptop?

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.

Yup! The ATOM is just a MIDI controller so you can pair it with anything MIDI

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

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?

Honestly I have the Atom but in lots of instances the mouse seems much quicker .

Do I need a piano because mines don’t make a sound

I’m still confused 🤷‍♀️

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.

Mine won't go to that set up mode after you choose Mai tai, any reason why?

Can you use Atom with superior drummer 3 and native instruments maschine 2?

@ImIvanCalderon

3 жыл бұрын

Yes! At the core it's just a MIDI controller so you can use it with any VST!

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

I got it but idk how to use anything 😔

I still can’t find the atom on studio one the only thing I see is the presence

16 physically on the ATOM but you can add more in S1 and then switch banks on the ATOM to control them.

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!
