If you are a Studio One user and you have any interest in using the built in Impact sampler for beats, songs, .wavs (and you should)....You should own the Atom. It's mapped perfectly to the software, all the other buttons are mapped perfectly for Studio One. It an inexpensive trigger pad you can just hammer on it's so well built. I can't speak to anyone's connection issues but I have found this to be nothing less than rock solid. Keep your systems simple folks and keep Universal Control, Presonus and Windows (in my case) up to date.

It’s unfortunate that some others have had connection issues. I’ve been using mine for over a year and haven’t had a single issue with it. My only criticism is that there’s no power switch, so I have to unplug the USB cable when I’m just using my computer for non-music stuff and don’t want its showy light performance in my face. The main reason I got it was to quickly sample/play a percussion patch in Studio One’s native “Impact” plugin. When I’m searching for the right drum kit for my song I like to have my production playing as I’m cycling through the various patches, seeing which one sounds right. Doing this before by just mouse-clicking one drum pad at a time was ridiculous, and doing it on my MIDI keyboard was also less than ideal. With the ATOM it’s mapped out exactly as the Impact plugin has it, pad colours and all, and I can actually prototype percussion patterns using both hands. This makes it way faster and more enjoyable to find the right drum kit. It’s compact, simple, looks great, and has ideal Studio One integration.

I bought the Atom so I wouldn't have trouble connecting to Studio One but that's all I've been having. I was able to use it in Studio v4, not great response to the pads. I haven't been able to connect with Studio One v5 at all and Presonus tech support kept deleting my support tickets.

Lot of connection issues with Studio one v4 & haven't been able to connect at all with S1v5. I bought the Atom because I wanted to avoid connection issues with Presonus' own software but that didn't work out.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
